TP-Link Archer C80 AC1900 Wireless Dual Band Router
The TP-Link Archer C80 delivers high-performance AC1900 WiFi with combined speeds up to 1900 Mbps across dual bands - 600 Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1300 Mbps on 5GHz. Built with 802.11ac Wave2 technology, this router handles everyday browsing and email on the 2.4GHz band while reserving the 5GHz band for bandwidth-intensive activities like 4K/8K streaming and online gaming.
3x3 MIMO Technology for Maximum Performance
Equipped with 3x3 MIMO technology, the Archer C80 transmits and receives data on three streams simultaneously. This configuration pairs perfectly with 3x3 capable devices like MacBooks, delivering significantly higher efficiency compared to standard 2x2 MIMO routers. The result is faster data transfer and more stable connections across your network.
MU-MIMO for Multiple Device Connectivity
MU-MIMO technology enables the Archer C80 to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously rather than sequentially. This means your smartphone, laptop, tablet, and smart TV can all maintain optimal performance without waiting in line for bandwidth. Smart Connect automatically directs each device to the less congested band, while Airtime Fairness prevents older devices from slowing down your entire network.
Extended Coverage with Beamforming
Four fixed high-performance external antennas work with beamforming technology to provide broad WiFi coverage throughout your home. Instead of broadcasting signals equally in all directions, beamforming detects your devices and concentrates wireless signal strength directly toward them, ensuring strong connections even for distant or low-powered devices.
Full Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity
The Archer C80 features one gigabit WAN port and four gigabit LAN ports, delivering maximum wired speeds for your PCs, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. These full gigabit ports ensure your wired connections match the performance of your wireless network.
Advanced Network Management Features
Control your home network with comprehensive management tools including Parental Controls to block inappropriate content and set time limits, Guest Network for secure visitor access, and Access Control for device management. The router supports IPv6 for future-proof networking, IGMP Proxy/Snooping for improved IPTV streaming, and Quality of Service to prioritize bandwidth for critical devices. Setup takes minutes via the intuitive web interface or the Tether app, which allows network management from any Android or iOS device.
