TP-Link adds four new 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) routers to its affordable Archer A Series line

If you have a lot of disposable income, and you are a technology enthusiast, then buying a $600 router, such as the upcoming drool-worthy NETGEAR Nighthawk RAX200 isn't so crazy. Look, there's nothing wrong with being an early adopter -- spend your money as you want! Many consumers, however, simply can't afford such high-end networking gear -- even if they want the latest and greatest.

Thankfully, a quality wireless router doesn't have to cost more than $500. Hell, you can get a very nice router for less than $100! One company in particular that focuses on the common consumer -- the "every man," if you will -- is TP-Link. Its routers are very well regarded by both professional reviewers and shoppers alike. It's not hard to see why that is either -- not only are its products affordable, but high-quality too. I often recommend TP-Link products to friends and family.

The company's A7 router, for instance, has thousands of reviews on Amazon with an overall average rating of more than four stars. In fact, it is even designated as an "Amazon's Choice" product, which essentially means the retailer vouches for its excellence. The price for that router? The MSRP is $79.99, but right now it is just $54.99!

NitroQAM boosts speeds on all three bands by 25 percent while Smart Connect and Airtime Fairness distribute dedicated streams to each device with speed and precision. It offers great value for an incredibly powerful router.
