Reviews

"The only difference between the C5 v1 and C7 v1 is the 5GHz maximum
link rate is limited to 867Mbps on the C5 vs. 1300 Mbps on the C7.
The 2.4 GHz radio link rate isn't capped, so it will link at 217/450Mbps
(20/40MHz bandwidth) when used with a 3x3 2.4 GHz client."
The unit appears to be identical to the TP-LINK Archer C7 v2.x
