Introduction
1.1
Overview
of
the
router
The Archer C8 AC1750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router integrates 4-port Switch, Firewall,
NAT-router and Wireless AP. Powered by 3x3 MIMO technology, the AC1750 Wireless Dual Band
Gigabit Router delivers exceptional range and speed, which can fully meet the need of Small
Office/Home Office (SOHO) networks and the users demanding higher networking performance.
Your wireless connections are radio band selectable to avoid interference in your area, and the four
built-in Gigabit ports supply high-speed connection to your wired
devices.
The Archer C8 AC1750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router provides up to 1750Mbps wireless
connection with other wireless clients. The incredible speed makes it ideal for handling multiple data
streams at the same time, which ensures your network stable and smooth. The performance of this
802.11ac wireless router will give you the unexpected networking experience at speed much faster
than 802.11n. It is also compatible with all IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b and IEEE
802.11g products.
With multiple protection measures, including SSID broadcast control and wireless LAN
64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2- PSK, WPA- PSK), as well as
advanced Firewall protections, the Archer C8 AC1750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router
provides complete data privacy.
The Archer C8 AC1750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router provides flexible access control, so that
parents or network administrators can establish restricted access policies for children or staff. It also
supports Virtual Server and DMZ host for Port Triggering, and then the network administrators can
manage and monitor the network in real time with the remote management function.
Since the router is compatible with virtually all the major operating systems, it is very easy to
manage. Quick Setup Wizard is supported and detailed instructions are provided step by step in
this user guide. Before installing the router, please look through this guide to know all the router’s
functions.
