TP-Link Archer AX6000 Next-Gen Wi-Fi 6 Router

What is 802.11ax WiFi

Fast. High Efficiency.

Gaming, 4K/8K streaming, smart home devices, and AR/VR all compete for network resources, creating lag and crowding your network. To solve this problem,

802.11ax5 (also known as Wi-Fi 6), a next-gen high-efficiency WiFi standard, was created. Now, you can simultaneously connect more devices1 and enjoy the optimum speed for each of them.

Next-Gen Wi-Fi — 802.11ax

The Archer AX6000 is TP-Link’s first router with next-generation 802.11ax WiFi technology. Take your WiFi to the next level while being backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi standards.

Blazing Fast Speed

New technologies that come with 802.11ax, such as 1024QAM and Long OFDM Symbol, allow the router to provide industry-leading speeds of up to 1148 Mbps on a 2.4GHz band and 4804 Mbps on a 5GHz band. With the maximum bandwidth increased to 160MHz4, you enjoy blazing-fast speeds without any lag.

Connect Numerous Devices

Non-Stop Entertainment on All Your Devices

With OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, Archer AX6000 provides up to 4× higher capacity and throughput compared to standard AC routers in dense usage environments, greatly increasing the number of connected devices.

Far-Reaching WiFi Coverage

8 high-gain external antennas deliver a strong WiFi signal throughout your home. BSS Color technology ensures smooth and stable connections by eliminating signal interference neighboring routers, while beamforming and Rangeboost deliver a stronger and far-reaching network.

Lightning-Fast Wired Connections

The Archer AX6000 provides a 2.5Gbps WAN port6 to make full use of your internet plan and boost the whole internet throughput. one Type C and one Type A USB 3.0 ports and eight Gigabit Ethernet ports also help to transfer data at blistering speeds for peak performance.

Smarter. Faster. Safer.

Top-Notch Processing Architecture

An extremely powerful 1.8GHz 64-bit quad-core processor with two distinct co-processors and 8Gb of RAM powers through multiple complex tasks and demanding applications with ease. Its processing power allows the router to support multiple high-demand applications at the same time.
