Overview:
Archer Air R5
AX3000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Air Router
Features:
Ultra-Thin Design, Extraordinary Performance.
AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Air Series
Unprecedented 8mm Thin Design
Archer Air E5 has an ultra-thin and minimalist appearance. It is even thinner than a wall outlet, perfectly integrating with modern home interiors. The LED and WPS 2-in-1 button on the front makes it look simpler. A large metal design on the back enhances both heat dissipation and aesthetics.
Smart Antennas for All-Round Coverage
Archer Air E5s built-in smart antennas use intelligent algorithms to auto-detect your devices locations and adjust antennas direction, ensuring all-round stable signals even in duplex houses. 4x powerful FEM provide maximum WiFi performance, so your phones and tablets stay connected as you move throughout your home. Beamforming technology detects the location of devices and concentrates WiFi towards them for stronger connections.
Form a Whole Home Seamless Mesh Network
Archer Air R5 works with EasyMesh-compatible routers to create a whole home seamless mesh network. Combine with TP-Link Air Range Extender Archer Air E5, it boosts your WiFi 6 signals and provides strong, stable and seamless wireless connections throughout your home.
