Does anyone know the difference between Archer A6 V3 and V4 in the processor side?

From the specifications, I can see that in V3 it's a Dual-Core CPU, but in V4 its only written 1.2 GHz CPU.

For V3 from other forums, I found that its a MediaTek processor. Does anyone know what processor is used in v4?

Which one would be better for 24x7 powered on usage?

Looks like this information isn't available on the Internet yet.

However, given the pricing of the A6 (and its sister model C6) my guess is that V4 still uses a MediaTek chipset, just a newer one. Potentially TP-Link might have switched the A6/C6 to the same chipset they already use in router's like the C64 and C80.

These lower-end routers usually don't draw a lot of power during normal operation. Probably less than 5 W.

You can check www<dot>tpcdb>dot>com/list.php?type=11 to get an idea.

So, in best case you might be able to save another Watt by selecting a certain router version, which will save you maybe 1 KWh per month.
