Description
AC1200 Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit Router
The Archer A6_V3 creates a reliable and blazing-fast network powered by 802.11ac WiFi technology. The 2.4GHz band delivers speeds up to 300Mbps for everyday tasks like emailing and web browsing while the 5GHz band delivers speeds up to 867Mbps making it ideal for HD video streaming and lag-free online gaming.
Advanced Security with WPA3
The latest Wi-Fi security protocol, WPA3, brings new capabilities to improve cybersecurity in personal networks. More secure encryption in Wi-Fi password safety and enhanced protection against brute-force attacks combine to safeguard your home Wi-Fi.
Boosted Wi-Fi Coverage Throughout Your Home
Four external antennas send Wi-Fi signals to every corner of your home. Stay connected and enjoy fast Wi-Fi whether you are lounging on the sofa or on the balcony. Beamforming technology detects devices, even if they are far-away or low-powered, and concentrates wireless signal strength towards them.
MU-MIMO Brings More Simultaneous Connections
MU-MIMO lets the Archer A6 serve multiple devices at once. No more bandwidth congestion or latency. All devices get their data faster and Wi-Fi is used more efficiently!
Gigabit Connectivity, 10× Faster
With one Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports, speeds can be up to 10× faster than standard Ethernet connections. Connect your favorite wired devices to Archer A6_V3 and get impressed!
TP-Link OneMesh™: Flexibly Create a Whole-Home Wi-Fi
OneMesh™ is a simple way to form a Mesh network with a single Wi-Fi name for seamless whole-home coverage. Just connect a OneMeshTM range extender to a OneMesh™ router. No more searching around for a stable connection.
Access Point
Switch the working mode of the Archer A6 to Access Point Mode to share your wired network with other wireless devices.
Easy Setup and Management with the Tether APP
The free Tether app is available for both Android and iOS devices, making it easy to set up the Archer A6_V3 and manage your network settings.
*Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection, quality, and client condition. *Use of MU-MIMO requires clients to also support MU-MIMO.
