Archer AX21 AX1800 Wireless Dual-Band Router Description
The latest generation of Wi-Fi technology, the TP-Link Archer AX21 AX1800 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router, delivers faster speeds, higher capacity, less lag, and enables more home devices to connect to the network. The Archer AX21 AX1800 wireless router is built with OFDMA technology, which delivers a fast, stable, and high-capacity network for you to connect as many devices as you want. It is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 with 1.8 Gbps (Gigabit per second). The OFDMA features help separate a single spectrum into multiple units and enable numerous devices to share just one transmission stream while simultaneously increasing efficiency and reducing congestion over the internet.
It integrates a 1.5 GHz Quad-Core CPU that minimizes latency within your network even when under overload transmission. It has a new level of cyber security with WPA3; this Wi-Fi security protocol adds new capabilities to improve cybersecurity in personal networks, encryption in Wi-Fi password security, and protection against brute-force attacks. You can also remotely control various functions from your mobile device using the Tether Application, which can be easily set up in minutes and operated via Android and iOS.
Take advantage of Unlimited Streaming:
Enjoy indestructible network coverage and enjoy full-time streaming, gaming, and other operations in full definition. The router works with any Wi-Fi-enabled device in your home space. It provides all connected devices with fast, stable, and maximum network coverage and smooth streaming with no lags and no breakage in transmission at any moment in time.
Powerful Processing For Minimal Latency:
Experience no lag or breaks in transmission. The integrated 1.5 GHz quad-core CPU provides minimal latency within your network, allowing you to stream any of your online programmes and play online games unlimitedly. Even when the network is under heavy load of transmission, you will never experience any network congestion.
Extensive Wi-Fi Coverage with Advanced Technologies:
The Archer AX21 AX1800 Wireless Dual-Band Router features a beamforming technology that supplies a high-power Front-End Module and four high-gain antennas to generate connection coverage in areas of your home space and at the same time concentrate full signal strength towards your Wi-Fi enabled devices.
HomeCare™ & Security:
Enjoy a free lifetime subscription to the TP-Link HomeCare™. The HomeCare™ gives you all the necessary tools to manage your network, including "parental control" features. This feature can be used to restrict sensitive data or limit the access of kids and guests. You can also access all these functions remotely via the Tether App, the Tether app works perfectly on both Android and iOS, and it can be set up within minutes.
Long-Lasting Battery Life:
Worry less about power consumption on your devices which other routers may cause. The router uses Target Wake Time technology that helps reduce your devices' power consumption and extend your device's battery life.
