Inquiring about setting up the tp link Archer C 1200 router from a friend's perspective.
Hello, here are some suggestions for setting up the TP Link Archer C1200 with a static IP. Regarding the Ethernet card showing 100 Mbps, it might be worth checking the port speed or ensuring the cable is functioning properly. With a 60 Mbps fiber connection, you should be able to get the expected performance. The i3 CPU and Gigabyte H110M-DS 2 board should handle the task well. Let me know if you need further guidance! Have a great day.
If using an ethernet cable, aim for 1000mbps. Both the motherboard and router can handle it. Verify the cable isn’t damaged and confirm your drivers are current (usually not a problem).
For assigning a static IP, check the router’s settings for connected devices. Locate your PC’s MAC address and search for “static IPs” or similar options in the network configuration. Enter that MAC and desired IP to assign it.
Start with that first point. I encountered an issue with a Linksys device that didn’t auto-negotiate to Gig, so I had to adjust it manually in the adapter settings.
