TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 | Dual Band Wi-Fi 5 Router | 433Mbps 5GHz | 300Mbps 2.4GHz | 4 LAN Ports
Honest coverage for bedsitters, studio flats and compact family homes on a Kenyan fibre line.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 sits on the Mascom International shelf at KSh 4,200, brand new and sealed, built to turn one fibre cable into two separate Wi-Fi networks. Its 5GHz band carries up to 433Mbps for nearby phones and laptops. The 2.4GHz band reaches up to 300Mbps and travels further through walls. Three fixed antennas spread the signal, and four 10/100 LAN ports serve a desktop, smart TV or decoder by cable. TP-Link rates the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 for a two-bedroom house. Collect yours at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for tenants in bedsitters, studio flats and one- or two-bedroom apartments, the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 solves a common frustration. Many ISP-supplied boxes sit near the front door, and the signal fades by the time it reaches the bedroom. Placing the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 centrally, or running it as an access point off the ISP unit, fixes that dead corner. University students sharing a flat near Kenyatta University or JKUAT can give visitors a separate guest network. Small shop owners and home-based accountants can keep a till laptop on a cable while phones stay on Wi-Fi.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push the cheapest single-band router, Mascom International recommends the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 because 5GHz matters in crowded apartment blocks. Neighbouring 2.4GHz networks fill the same airspace in buildings across Roysambu, Kilimani and Rongai, and a second band gives your devices a quieter lane. Buyers upgrading from single-band routers tell us their video calls stop freezing once laptops move to 5GHz. This is the budget pick in our TP-Link range, while homes needing gigabit wiring should look at the Archer C6 AC1200. Order the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750
Does the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 work with Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku and Faiba?
Yes, the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 works with Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, Faiba and most Kenyan fibre providers that hand over an Ethernet connection. Run a cable from the ISP's box to the WAN port and choose Dynamic IP, the setting most home fibre lines use. If your provider issued PPPoE login details, the router supports that too, along with Static IP, PPTP and L2TP. Prefer to keep the ISP unit in charge? Switch the Archer C20 AC750 to Access Point mode and it simply extends that network.
TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 or Archer C6 AC1200, which should you buy?
Choose the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 for a small home on a modest fibre plan, and the Archer C6 AC1200 for bigger homes or faster packages. The Archer C20 AC750 uses 10/100 ports, so every wired connection, including the internet link itself, tops out at 100Mbps. The Archer C6 AC1200 steps up to gigabit ports and MU-MIMO, which serves several streaming devices at once more smoothly. If your plan sits at or below 100Mbps and only a handful of devices connect, the Archer C20 AC750 covers you for less money.
Is the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 fast enough for streaming and video calls?
Yes, for Netflix, YouTube, Zoom and Google Meet in a small home, the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 has comfortable headroom. Its 5GHz link runs at up to 433Mbps and its 2.4GHz link at up to 300Mbps, both well above what a single HD stream needs. Real-world speeds land lower than those link rates, as with every router, and walls reduce them further. The practical ceiling is the 100Mbps WAN port, so the Archer C20 AC750 suits fibre packages at or below that speed.
What happens to the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 during a KPLC power cut?
The TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 goes offline in a power cut, like any mains-powered router, and reconnects on its own once electricity returns. Its adapter is rated 9V at 0.6A, which works out to a peak draw of about 5.4 watts. That small load makes it a good match for a 9V mini DC UPS, provided your fibre box also has backup power. Your Wi-Fi names, passwords and settings are saved on the router, so you never need to reconfigure it after an outage.
How far does the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 signal reach in a Kenyan apartment?
TP-Link rates the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 for a two-bedroom house, which matches most bedsitters, studios and one- or two-bedroom flats. Stone and concrete block walls trim the signal, especially on 5GHz. Place the router near the centre of the home, raised on a shelf, rather than on the floor behind the TV. For a three-bedroom maisonette or two floors, the Archer C20 AC750 can join a OneMesh setup with a compatible TP-Link extender, or you can step up to the Archer C6 AC1200.
Who should buy the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750, and who should skip it?
Buy the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 if you live in a small home, pay for a fibre plan up to 100Mbps, and want dual-band Wi-Fi without spending much. Skip it if your package runs faster than 100Mbps, because the 10/100 ports will cap it, and the Archer C6 AC1200 fits you better. Skip it too if your area has no fibre or cable line at all. The TL-MR6400 4G LTE router takes a 4G SIM card instead, and the M7200 mobile Wi-Fi suits people who work on the move.
Can the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 control what children access online?
Yes, the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 includes parental controls with URL filtering and time schedules, applied per device. You can block specific websites on a child's tablet and switch off its internet access at bedtime, while adults' phones stay unaffected. Separate guest networks on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz let visitors, house help or flatmates get online without seeing your laptops or printer. QoS by device also lets you give a work laptop priority during an important video call.
How do you set up the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 without a computer?
Set up the TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 from your phone using TP-Link's free Tether app for Android and iOS. Plug in the power adapter, connect the included Ethernet cable from your fibre box to the WAN port, then join the default Wi-Fi name printed on the router's label. Tether walks you through the connection type, new network names and passwords in a few minutes. Firmware updates arrive over the air through TP-Link cloud services, so security fixes install without downloading files manually.
Technical Specifications
Wireless Performance and Band Split
- Wi-Fi 5 standard with 802.11ac on 5GHz, so recent phones and laptops connect on the faster band automatically.
- 5GHz link rate up to 433Mbps, the quieter lane for streaming and video calls close to the router.
- 2.4GHz link rate up to 300Mbps on 802.11n, reaching further through walls into bedrooms and kitchens.
- The AC750 name adds both bands together; any single device connects on one band at a time.
- Three fixed external antennas spread signal around a compact home without any adjustment after placement.
- Coverage rated by TP-Link for a two-bedroom house, matching most bedsitters, studios and small apartments.
Wired Ports and Speed Limits
- One 10/100Mbps WAN port connects to the fibre box, capping total internet throughput at 100Mbps.
- Four 10/100Mbps LAN ports serve a desktop, smart TV, decoder or printer by cable, avoiding wireless dropouts.
- Wired connections suit fixed devices near the router, freeing wireless airtime for phones moving between rooms.
- A TL-SF1005D or TL-SF1008D switch from Mascom International adds more wired ports when four run out.
- No gigabit ports, so file copies between wired computers stay at 100Mbps; the Archer C6 AC1200 removes that limit.
Internet Connection Compatibility
- Dynamic IP support covers the connection type most home fibre installations hand to a customer router.
- PPPoE support handles providers that issue a username and password for the internet connection.
- Static IP, PPTP and L2TP cover business lines and older connection types still found in some buildings.
- Works behind the fibre terminal your provider installs, connected with the included Ethernet cable.
- IPv6 support keeps the router ready as internet providers move to newer addressing over the coming years.
Operating Modes and Mesh Support
- Router Mode shares one wired internet connection across Wi-Fi and cable devices, the standard setup for most homes.
- Access Point Mode adds dual-band Wi-Fi to an existing ISP router while keeping the ISP box in control.
- Range Extender Mode repeats another network's signal to reach a back bedroom or a detached room.
- OneMesh and EasyMesh compatibility links the router with supported TP-Link extenders under one network name.
- Tether app management on Android and iOS handles setup and later changes without needing a computer.
Security and Household Controls
- WPA2 encryption protects your Wi-Fi password and traffic from neighbours sitting within signal range.
- WPA/WPA2-Enterprise support suits small offices that check each user's login through a central server.
- Parental controls filter websites by URL and set internet schedules for each child's device separately.
- Guest networks on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz keep visitors away from your main devices and shared files.
- QoS by device gives a chosen laptop or TV priority when several people share the connection.
- Over-the-air firmware updates through TP-Link cloud services deliver security fixes without manual file downloads.
Build, Power and Placement
- Measures 230 x 144 x 35 mm, slim enough for a bookshelf or TV stand near the centre of the home.
- Powered by a 9V 0.6A adapter, drawing about 5.4 watts at most, or roughly 0.13 kWh across a full 24-hour day.
- Low 9V input suits a mini DC UPS during power cuts, as long as the fibre box is also backed up.
- A physical power button switches the router off without pulling the adapter from the wall socket.
- The WPS/Wi-Fi button pairs compatible devices without typing a password, or turns wireless off at night.
- A reset button restores factory settings if a forgotten admin password locks you out of the router.
- Single-core processor handles a small household's traffic; heavier multi-device homes suit the Archer C6 AC1200 better.
