Difference between A20 and C4000 wireless routers ?
I am in the market for a new router and narrowed down by features, I am considering either the A20 or the C4000. They look exactly alike. Comparing the info I can find on tp-link's site:
https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-c4000/#specifications
https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-a20/#specifications
The specs for the C4000 says it has 4x 10/100/1000 LAN ports. The A20 says it has 4x GE LAN ports. Isn't this the same thing?
The specs for the C4000 says it support printer sharing for printers plugged into a USB port on the router. The A20 specs do not list printer sharing.
A look at the table of contents for the two routers' user guides also show that the C4000 supports printer sharing while the A20 does not.
Another difference in the user guides: the A20 has a section about Alexa and IFTTT. That section is not in the C4000 user guide. But the C4000 Overview page ( https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-c4000/#overview ) says it works with Alexa and IFTTT (way down on the bottom).
So the only difference I can find is printer sharing. It's odd to think that they would make a new model whose only difference is that a feature for printer sharing is dropped. There's gotta be something else. Anyone from TP-Link who can answer?
