TP-Link has announced a quad-band Wi-Fi 6E router and a tri-band AI-powered mesh networking strategy that tin screen up to 6,500 quadrate feet.

Announced connected Tuesday, TP-Link's latest networking devices are the Wi-Fi 6E Archer AXE16000 quad-band router and Deco AXE11000 tri-band Wi-Fi system. Both systems connection accelerated speeds, wide web coverage, and a batch of bandwidth.

Archer quad-band router

The Archer router offers up to 15.6Gbps speeds utilizing quad-band Wi-Fi 6E for aggregate users to browse the web, watercourse video, and download files. The recently supported 6GHz wireless set avoids interference for congestion-free web traffic, and the institution promises it offers near-zero latency.

The 2.0GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM present accelerated transmission speeds and creaseless cognition of devices and apps. Eight high-performance dual-band antennas and beamforming supply capable bandwidth for 16 simultaneous information streams.

The router has a 10Gbps WAN/LAN port, a 10Gbps Ethernet/Fiber operation WAN/LAN port, a 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port, 4 Gigabit LAN ports, and 1 USB 3.0 port.

Deco tri-band mesh system

The Deco delivers tri-band Wi-Fi with a 6GHz band, giving a full velocity of 10.8Gbps. It adds 7 160MHz channels to trim web congestion and drops successful speed.

The 6GHz set besides reinforces the backhaul show betwixt Deco units, offering a robust web for homes up to 6,500 quadrate feet for the two-pack product.

Using interior high-gain antennas, the Deco provides 16 simultaneous information streams, 8 of which are connected the 5 GHz band. TP-Link says it has a 10Gbps larboard that gives 10 times the wired velocity of a modular Gigabit Ethernet port.

The mesh exertion uses artificial quality to larn and set the strategy to acceptable each location situation and web load best. Devices tin power to different web root erstwhile indispensable utilizing self-learning algorithms.

The Deco offers WPA3 web encryption and TP-Link HomeShield, which blocks unauthorized access, encrypts data, and protects against cyber attacks.

Pricing & Availability

Both products are disposable with a peculiar $100-off motorboat discount done Amazon for preorders. The Deco XE200 is disposable for $799.99 and the Archer AXE300 is disposable for for $599.99 connected Amazon. Both are eligible for a $100 on-page coupon astatine property time.
