Router Configuration
We are senior citizens sitting here in India, looking for help.
1. Our provider is ACT, and they provided a connection with router , which is labeled as Archer C5 Model. Is this a good router to have for a home network in 2026?
2. Our Internet feed is very limited, fixed and recursive. Meaning, the same content or whatever input we give in the websites are added to the next feed. A
Appreciate if someone could respond.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi @pllll ,
You can check the TP-Link India website. Click Wi-Fi Routers for more models. The highest-spec devices currently support WiFi 7.
However, a higher-spec router isn't necessarily suitable for you. Your network plan has the following specifications: wireless mode is 802.11bgn mixed, and connection type is PPPoE.
The Archer C5 is an ISP-customized router, it is not on this Wi-Fi Routers list. And its specifications should already meet the requirements of your current plan.
Alternatively, you can filter and select devices that meet your needs using the menu bar on the left.
