Wi-Fi 6 Upgrades Everything

The advanced Wi-Fi technology brings faster speeds, less lag, and higher capacity, enabling more simultaneous connections on your home network.

Gigabit Broadband Internet Access

All gigabit Ethernet ports allow you to take full advantage of your broadband speed up to 1 Gbps. Plug your PCs, smart TVs, and game consoles into one of the three gigabit ethernet LAN ports for fast, reliable wired connections.

WiFi Coverage Throughout Your Home

4 high-performance external antennas boost WiFi signals throughout your home. Beamforming technology detects devices and concentrates wireless signal strength towards them, especially for previously hard to reach outlets.

WPA3—New Level of Cyber Security

The latest Wi-Fi security protocol, WPA3, brings new capabilities to improve cybersecurity in personal networks. More secure encryption in Wi-Fi password safety and enhanced protection against brute-force attacks combine to safeguard your home Wi-Fi.

Easy Setup and Use

Whether you prefer the intuitive Tether app or TP-Link’s powerful web interface, you can set up your Archer AX12 in minutes.
The Tether app allows you to manage network settings from any Android or iOS device.
