So per the title, which of these two routers would be preferable to use for fibre?
3 laptops, 2 cell phones, 1 tablet, 1 TV and 1 printer will be connected.
Currently using the B315 on LTE, contract ends end of April. The Archer C20 will be provided by the ISP (if I ask for it).
Assistance appreciated.

I believe the TP link is a better router based on the brand.

Don't think that B315 has a WAN port, it's for LTE? Not sure it'll work for you at all.

C20 has **** wifi range, can't comment on the Huawei though.

Just my 2c, If you can afford it, get a ubiquity router and couple it with a ubiquity unify wireless AP. Or a cheaper option is a Mikrotik router and couple it with some Mikrotik wireless hAP lites (R380 at takealot)

These will always out perform consumer grade routers.
