Archer C5 is by far the best wifi router I have ever used. Very stable, good speed and very good coverage. Most importantly, no reboot for whatever reasons needed during operation.

Agreed. I tested tplink c5 and asus ac55uhp. Performance wise ac55uhp n c5 are about the same. Wireless throughput and coverage.

Only price and extra features differs them hehe

well performance wise i guess its about the same more or less tho.....
currently using ac68u. same wireless coverage and throughput as other ac1900 which is half the price. Even the USB 3.0 port doesn't impressed me much. Speed are so-so only.

if need no extra features can always go for cheaper brand.

How to set the dualband 2.4 and 5g to get most efficient signal.? Is using one ssd name or different it..
*
I set it as same ssid. Newer devices are capable of band steering. Meaning if u are close, it'll change to 5 if u are far it'll automatically change to 2.4

Well in any case u can try using same or different and see whatever suits u.

For additional AP i also set it as same ssid but different channel

1 SSID to rule them all
LoL

seems like archer c5 v2 dont support openwrt
*
Thats because it is not since long time ago haha. Only c5 v1 are supported.

And i dont think there's custom firmware for c1200 as well.
