Wi-Fi 6 (or 802.11ax) builds upon the Wi-Fi 5 (or 802.11ac) standard, which has been around since late in 2013. It also supports 160MHz channel width, automatic band-steering, MU-MIMO data streaming, and direct-to-client signal beamforming, but it does not yet support the new WPA3 encryption protocol, which is required for Wi-Fi 6 certification. It's a dual-band eight-stream router (four streams on each band) that utilizes the latest 802.11ax tech with 1024 QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) to achieve maximum theoretical data rates of up to 1,148Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 4,804Mbps on the 5GHz band. The Archer AX6000 is powered by a 1.8GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 128MB of flash memory. The left side holds a USB 3.0 Type A port and a USB 3.0 Type C port, and there are WPS, LED On/Off, and Wi-Fi On/Off buttons on the front edge of the router. The rear panel contains eight gigabit LAN ports, a 2.5-gigabit WAN port, a power port and power button, and a reset button.
It uses a black textured enclosure with eight non-removable foldable antennas and a square LED indicator on the top that glows solid blue when everything is working normally, pulses blue during startup and firmware upgrades, glows solid orange when it is connected to the internet but wireless is disabled, and glows solid red when there is no internet connection.
Plenty of PortsĪt 2.4 by 10.3 by 10.3 inches (HWD), the Archer AX6000 is one of the largest routers we've come across. The Archer AX6000 delivers solid throughput and file-transfer performance, but it's not quite as fast as the Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 and it currently lacks support for WPA3 encryption, which means it's not yet Wi-Fi 6 certified.
#TP LINK TETHER PC APP INSTALL#
It's easy to install and can be managed from a phone using the TP-Link Tether mobile app, but the web console offers more advanced controls. The TP-Link Archer AX6000 ($349.99), one of a handful of early Wi-Fi 6 routers to hit our labs, is a massive device equipped with the latest 802.11ax technology and numerous connectivity options, including eight gigabit LAN ports, a multi-gigabit WAN port, and two USB ports.
