The New Era of Home Connectivity
AX3000 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 Router
Archer AX55

Features:
Wi-Fi 6 Upgrades Everything:
– The latest generation of Wi-Fi technology brings faster speeds, less lag, and higher capacity, enabling more simultaneous connections on your home network.
Incredible Speed:
– Drastically improved speeds enable streaming, fast downloading, and gaming-all at the same time. 5GHz with 160MHz channel support doubles the bandwidth, enabling 8K video without lag.
More Responsive Experiences: Less Loading Wheels.
– Enjoy smooth gaming, video streaming, and live feed simultaneously. OFDMA makes your Wi-Fi stronger by allowing multiple clients to share one band at the same time, which cuts latency and jittering.
Powerful CPU and High Memory: Connect More without Dropping Speed.
– Behind the Wi-Fi 6 technology structure are the advanced Qualcomm chipset and high memory. Enjoy fast connections with minimal latency even under a heavy load of transmission. Every click for website links and online playback on your laptop and phone just responds quicker.
Improved Cooling Design Consistent Full Output:
– No heat ups, no throttles. A larger heat sink and refined case design cool the Wi-Fi 6 system and enable your network to stay at top speed in more versatile environments.
Wi-Fi Coverage Throughout Your Home:
– 4 high-performance external antennas boost Wi-Fi signals throughout your home. Beamforming technology detects devices and concentrates wireless signal strength towards them, especially for previously hard to reach outlets.
USB 3.0 Ports:
– Easily share files between connected devices by plugging into an external drive. You can even make it your personal cloud storage and access it from outside securely. (5)

Notes:
(1) Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage and number of connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.
(2) Use of 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) and its features including OFDMA, HE160, and TWT requires clients to also support corresponding features. The 160 MHz bandwidth may be unavailable in the 5 GHz band in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions. Actual power reduction by Target Wake Time may vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors.
(3) The 802.11ax white paper defines standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer as enabling at least one mode of operation capable of supporting improvement of at least four times the average throughput per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario.
(4) HomeShield includes the Free Basic Plan. Fees apply for the Pro Plan. Visit https://www.tp-link.com/homeshield for more information
(5) Use of WPA3 requires clients to support WPA3.
(6) This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in IEEE 802.11ax specification.
(7) Further software upgrade for feature availability may be required.
(8) Compatible with Alexa. User experience is dependent on the connected device’s specifications.
(9) Amazon Alexa is not available in all languages and countries.
(10) Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product’s Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, Internet service provider factors and other environmental conditions.
(11) TP-Link EasyMesh-Compatible products can network with other devices that use EasyMesh. Failed connections may be due to firmware conflicts of different vendors. The EasyMesh-Compatible function is still being developed on some models and will be supported in subsequent software updates.
