Maximum Wi-Fi Performance with Three Streams With 3—3 MIMO, Archer A8 is capable of transmitting and receiving data on three streams. 3—3 capable computers€” like Macs€”pair perfectly with A8 to perform at max with much higher efficiency than 2—2 MIMO routers. Incredible 802.11ac Wave2 Home Wi-Fi Archer A8 delivers high-performance and affordable home Wi-Fi with total speeds up to 1900 Mbps. Handle simple tasks like sending e-mails or web browsing on the 2.4 GHz band and bandwidth-intensive tasks like online gaming or 4K/8K UHD streaming on the 5 GHz band€”all lag-free. Broader Coverage throughout Your Home Access your entertainment from every corner of your home with 3 external high-performance antennas. Beamforming technology detects devices and concentrates wireless signal strength towards them, even if they are far away or low-powered. Connect More Devices Simultaneously Archer A8 helps your devices achieve optimal performance by making communication more efficient with MU-MIMO technology. Multiple devices are able to send and receive data on the best available band. Enjoy non-stop entertainment on all your devices€”lag free. Increased Efficiency in Wi-Fi Distribution Smart Connect helps your router automatically switch each device's connection to the best available Wi-Fi band while Airtime Fairness prevents older devices from slowing down your network. With both, everyone can enjoy a smoother, lag-free W-Fi experience. Full Gigabit Ports Gigabit Ethernet ports (1 WAN+ 4 LAN) deliver maximum wired speeds.
