TP-Link OneMesh: Flexibly Create Whole Home Wi-Fi with Archer AX72
– Want to build a whole-home Wi-Fi? Archer AX72 supports OneMesh to form seamless whole-home coverage, preventing drops and lag when moving between signals.
Easy Setup and Use:
– Whether you prefer the intuitive Tether App or the powerful web interface, you can set up your Archer AX72 in minutes. The Tether App allows you to manage network settings from any Android or iOS device.

NOTE:
(1) Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage 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 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and features including OFDMA, 1024-QAM, or HE160 require clients to also support the corresponding features.160 MHz bandwidth may be unavailable on the 5 GHz band in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions.
(3) Archer AX72 can connect 64 devices on the 5 GHz band, and 48 devices on the 2.4 GHz band. Performance may vary depending on the applications and environmental factors.
(4) HomeShield includes the Free Basic Plan. Fees apply for the Pro Plan. Visit tp-link.com/homeshield for more information.
(5) Use of MU-MIMO requires clients to also support the corresponding feature.
(6) This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11ax specification.
(7) Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.
