     High-Performance Wi-Fi
     
      
       Featuring three powerful external antennas and 802.11ac Wave 2 support, the Archer A8 router can transfer up to 1300 Mb/s over the 5 GHz frequency and 600 Mb/s on the 2.5 GHz band for smooth HD video streaming, online games, and more. Beamforming technology detects devices and concentrates the wireless signal strength towards them for a stronger connection over a distance and through walls.
      
      
     
    
   
    
     3 x 3 MIMO
     
      
       With 3 x 3 MIMO technology, the Archer A8 can transmit and receive information from three stream simultaneously, resulting in fast and efficient performance with compatible connected devices.
      
      
     
    
   
    
     Efficient Wi-Fi Distribution
     
      
       The Smart Connect feature automatically switches each device's connection to the best available Wi-Fi band while Airtime Fairness prevents older devices from slowing down the network.
      
      
     
    
   
    
     Wired Connections
     
      
       Four Gigabit Ethernet ports are available for high-speed wired connections to computers, video game consoles, smart TVs, and more.
      
      
     
    
   
    
     Easy Configuration
     
      
       Quickly set up and manage your network using either the web interface or the TP-Link Tether app. You can create separate guest network logins for added security and configure parental controls to block inappropriate content or limit how much time children can spend online.
