TP-LINK Archer A8

A performant and affordable dual-band router (router) of the AC1900 class with support for Gigabit Ethernet cable network connections and a Tri-Band function that provides for 3-stream data transmission / reception using 3x3 MU-MIMO technology. It is positioned as a product of the middle price category, capable of providing a high speed of information transfer both “over the air” and over a LAN network.

This model belongs to SOHO class devices. It is designed for use in a 1/2/3-room apartment, a small private house or a small office (up to four stationary PCs). The hardware basis of the TP-LINK Archer A8 router is a single-core processor that works in conjunction with three radio modules and three fixed external antennas. With support for MU-MIMO 3x3 technology, the theoretical throughput in the 2.5 GHz band is 600 Mbps, and in the 5 GHz band is 1300 Mbps.

It is worth noting that in fact more modest performance values are usually achieved (up to 100 Mbps at 2.4 GHz and up to 300 Mbps at 5 GHz). However, such indicators are quite enough for quick surfing, watching high-quality streaming video in FullHD / 4K resolution, comfortable gaming, quick interaction with web applications and cloud services, transferring large files and any other tasks. Three antennas and Beamforming technology provide a large area of confident wireless coverage.
