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.

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.

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.

Whether you prefer the intuitive Tether app or TP-Link's 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.
