Boasting throughput speeds up to 6,000 Mb/s, the Archer AX6000 Wi-Fi Router from TP-Link features support for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), a Wi-Fi standard that employs wireless technologies such as OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) and multi-user MIMO (Multiple Input and Multiple Output) to deliver faster and more reliable Wi-Fi connections compared to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac).
The dual-band Archer AX6000 boasts eight external antennas, a 2.5 Gb/s WAN Ethernet port, and eight 10/100/1000 Mb/s LAN Ethernet ports. USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Type-A and Type-C ports allow for sharing hard drives, printers, and other devices across the network. The router also comes with a Smart Connect feature that automatically determines the best Wi-Fi band for your devices, Alexa and IFTTT applet integration, and easy setup and configuration via integrated Bluetooth and the TP-Link Tether app for Android and iOS.
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Technology
In addition to faster Wi-Fi speeds compared to the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard, Wi-Fi 6 offers technological improvements that allow more users to simultaneously communicate with the router, plus greater energy efficiency for battery-powered network devices. The Wi-Fi 6-enabled Archer AX6000 offers 2.4 GHz data rates up to 1,147 Mb/s and 5 GHz data rates up to 4,800 Mb/s, along with 8 x 8 multi-user MIMO that allows for multiple users to stream 4K video or transfer large data files at the same time.
1.8 GHz 64-bit Quad-Core CPU
Helps to ensure fast transmission speed, support for more devices, and simultaneous high-speed applications.
USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Ports
Includes one USB Type-A 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 and one USB Type-C USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 port for connecting external storage devices to quickly share files, photos, and videos. USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1 are synonymous.
Smart Connect Support
Uses a single network name for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands, then determines appropriate transmission band for your devices based on the wireless signal quality and the bandwidth needed.
Beamforming Support
Helps to boost Wi-Fi reliability and performance by focusing signals in the direction of wireless clients.
Router and Access Point Modes
Create a new wireless network with the Archer AX6000 in Router mode, or connect the Archer to an existing network to give it wireless capabilities in Access Point mode.
