TP-LINK's Archer A series routers are entry-level. They have on board all the really useful wireless technologies that have proven their worth when creating a simple home network with a dozen connected devices. For example, all of them can work with two dedicated frequency bands (2.4 and 5 Hz), and also support MU-MIMO and Beamforming features that expand the coverage range, increase the efficiency of data packet exchange between connected devices, and can also amplify and focus the signal towards the currently desired device.


At the same time, they are friends with Wi-Fi 6, they have practically no built-in modems, and they cannot boast of a wide bandwidth. Most models belong to the AC1300 class. These figures mean the theoretical bandwidth threshold. For example, 450 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band or 867 Mbps in the 5 GHz band, which in total gives the desired 1.3 Gbps.

In addition to the price, the Archer A series attracts customers due to its high quality control and ease of operation. To set up a network, the owner of such a device does not need to be a system administrator. All you have to do is scan the QR code on the package, get a link to install the setup software for your smartphone, and follow the simple step-by-step instructions. In addition to setting up the network in the application, you can control incoming / outgoing traffic, monitor the list of connected devices, update software, or set parental control.
