Cospa 2167 + 1000Mbps compatible wireless LAN router TP-Link "Archer C3150"

For some manufacturers who have been developing wireless LAN routers in Japan, the entry of TP-Link's domestic market will be a clear threat.

The idea of "selling good things high" was one of the motivation for manufacturers to manufacture high-end products, but the entry of TP-Link may be a trigger to collapse this model.

In fact, the actual selling price of the Archer C3150 that appeared from TP-Link was 21,990 yen (as of November 2016) at Yodobashi.com.Depending on the site, it is a very reasonable setting that may be less than 20,000 yen.

You may think "20,000 yen? It's still expensive ...", but the price of ASUS RT-AC88U, which has almost the same wireless specifications, is 3 at Yodobashi.com as of November 2016.It is ¥ 7390.

The hardware specifications are almost the same, and if you refer to overseas breakdown articles, the adopted SoC is almost the same, and only the memory capacity is different.

Of course, there is a functional difference, ASUS products are compatible with dual WAN, and the ARCHER C3150 is currently not equipped with malicious site blocks and web filtering using trend micro databases (in the future).It seems that there is an update plan).

For this reason, the price difference at the moment is too large even if the ARCHER C3150 is naturally cheaper.

If it is a general product development, the price is often set to the product sold ahead, or it is often set slightly lower, but if it is lowered so far, it is not accumulated.。

By the way, the actual selling price of around 20,000 yen will be the same range as the NEC Platforms Aterm WG2600HP2 and Buffalo WXR-2533DHP2 for products from domestic manufacturers.In each case, the maximum speed is 5GHz and 1733Mbps 2.4GHz is 800Mbps.

Until now, overseas wireless LAN routers have been recognized that they have high specifications but are expensive, so they have lived to a certain degree of products from domestic manufacturers, but they are unknown in the future.

Is the added value of high -end and gamers accepted, or simply asking the value of a communication device?How will it affect domestic manufacturers?I am looking forward to future developments.
