Overview
Connecting a multi-gig internet line and a fast wired PC is where this Archer router stands out, with two multi-gig ports alongside three gigabit ones. Four antennas with beamforming cover the home, and it can grow into a mesh with EasyMesh extenders.
Two multi-gig ports let both the incoming line and one wired device run faster than gigabit, which most routers at this level skip. Dual band design means no dedicated six gigahertz lane for newer devices.
Who it's for
Households upgrading to multi-gig internet who still use current Wi-Fi devices. Very large homes should plan on adding an EasyMesh extender.
Pros and cons
- Two multi-gig ports
- USB port for storage
- VPN client and server
- HomeShield parental controls
- Dual band only
- Extender for mesh sold separately
- Modem required for most providers
Performance notes
Wired speed beyond gigabit flows only through the two multi-gig ports, while the other wired jacks cap at gigabit. Wi-Fi throughput rests on wide channels, OFDMA and MU-MIMO, which help when many devices are active. Beamforming aims signal at clients to hold speed in farther rooms.
