Nice, just only to confirm, the router has 750 mbps of support in bandwidth on 5ghz, will not cause any problem?
No. If you look at the specifications -- https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-c20/#specifications
It has 400+ Mbit on 5Ghz and 300Mbit on 2.4Ghz. The "750" is the sum of all the bandwidth.
The biggest limitation on the C20 is that it has only 100Mbit wired ethernet ports. So it can only support up to 90Mbit ISP package.
The 400Mbit 5Ghz capacity will provide about 200Mbit of usable bandwidth to the router. You will still be limited to 20Mbit because of your ISP package.

The general recommendation is to get an AC1900 spec router. That is usually the price/performance sweet spot.
You may be able to get a used Asus RT-AC68U on E-Bay. That is an excellent router.

What ISP package are you using this router with ?
