Leveraging the 802.11ac Wave2 standard, it achieves combined wireless speeds of up to 1900 Mbps—1300 Mbps on the less congested 5 GHz band for bandwidth-heavy tasks like 4K streaming and gaming, and 600 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band for everyday browsing and connectivity.This router is engineered to handle the demands of a connected household with multiple devices. Its standout feature set includes advanced technologies like 3×3 MU-MIMO for efficient simultaneous data streaming, six high-performance antennas with Beamforming for extended coverage, and support for the latest WPA3 security protocol.Furthermore, its compatibility with EasyMesh and OneMesh allows you to create a seamless whole-home mesh Wi-Fi system by adding other compatible TP-Link devices

Key Features

• Blazing AC1900 Wi-Fi: Experience combined speeds of up to 1900 Mbps (600 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1300 Mbps on 5 GHz), perfect for lag-free 4K/8K UHD streaming, online gaming, and rapid file downloading .

• 3×3 MU-MIMO Technology: Communicate with multiple devices simultaneously. Unlike standard routers, 3×3 MU-MIMO delivers data to several clients at once, reducing wait time and improving network efficiency for all connected devices .

• Extended Coverage with Six Antennas & Beam forming: Six high-performance external antennas create a powerful signal-boosting array. Beamforming technology detects your devices and concentrates the Wi-Fi signal towards them, ensuring a stable and far-reaching connection throughout your 3-bedroom home .

• Whole Home Mesh Compatibility: This router supports both EasyMesh and OneMesh technologies. To eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones, you can seamlessly add other EasyMesh or OneMesh compatible range extenders or routers to create a unified mesh network with smart roaming and a single network name .

• Advanced Security with WPA3: Protect your home network with the latest Wi-Fi security protocol, WPA3. It provides enhanced password safety and stronger encryption to safeguard against brute-force attacks .

• Intelligent Network Optimization: Features like Smart Connect automatically guide clients to the best available band, while Airtime Fairness prevents older, slower devices from monopolizing the network and slowing everyone else down .

• Full Gigabit Ports: Equipped with 1 Gigabit WAN port and 4 Gigabit LAN ports for maximum wired speed. Connect your PC, smart TV, or game console for ultra-fast and reliable data transfers .

• Personalized Management Tools: Take control of your network with robust features including Parental Controls (URL filtering, time limits), a separate Guest Network, and an easy-to-use interface via the TP-Link Tether app or web interface.
