What is 802.11ax Wi-Fi 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, 802.11ax (also known as Wi-Fi 6), a next-gen high-efficiency Wi-Fi standard, was created. Now, you can simultaneously connect more devices 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 Wi-Fi technology. Take your Wi-Fi to the next level while being backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi standards. 4x Higher Performance The new Downlink and Uplink MU-MIMO and OFDMA achieve a performance boost 4× that of 802.11ac 4x Larger Capacity OFDMA greatly increases the number of connected devices by assigning channels to more devices 3x Faster Speed 1024 QAM and Long OFDM Symbol boost overall speeds up to an incredible 6000 Mbps Boosted Coverage BSS Color technology ensures smooth and stable connections by eliminating signal interference, while beamforming and Rangeboost deliver stronger and far-reaching network. 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 160MHz, 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 4x higher capacity and throughput compared to standard AC routers in dense usage environments, greatly increasing the number of connected devices. Far-Reaching Wi-Fi Coverage 8 high-gain external antennas deliver a strong Wi-Fi signal throughout your home. BSS Color technology ensure smooth and stable connections by eliminate signal interference probably from your neighbors, while beamforming and Rangeboost deliver stronger and far-reaching network. Lightning-Fast Wired Connections The Archer AX6000 provides a 2.5Gbps WAN port to make fully use of the over 1Gbps internet access, 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.
