I have a TP-Link Archer C7 v2 that is starting to show its age a bit and I am having to reboot it about once a week. I am hoping to replace it with a newer TP-Link router. I have been looking at 2 models the Archer C90 and the Archer A9. However, I am not sure that I see any difference between them. My specific curiosity is about the processor and if there is a difference there? I haven't been able to find much of anything comparing these two directly so any information is greatly appreciated.

Best I can find is the A9 is for online only sales channels while the C90 can be found in store and online but beyond that, and it was a single forum post that only mentioned it so I'm not sure if that's still true or not. Beyond that nothing seems to be different and they both, according to TP-Link, support the same software and functionality so I would say go with whichever is cheaper, unless someone spots a different I missed :)

Will be the same and one was branded for a different country/area of the world vs the other. So get the cheaper of the two :)
