TP-Link Archer C3000

details: AC3000 Wireless Tri-Band Gigabit Router
hardware type: Wireless Router
date added: 2016-12-30
updated: 2020-02-18
Tri-Band technology creates three separate Wi-Fi bands for connecting more devices to your network without a drop in performance. The router provides combined 3000Mbps Wi-Fi speed over one 2.4GHz (450Mbps) and two 5GHz (1300Mbps each) bands.

Smart Connect helps devices run faster by assigning them to the best band to balance network demand.

Six high-performance external antennas increase the Archer C3000's range and signal stability. Beamforming technology further improves the router's coverage by helping it locate wireless devices to form stronger, more reliable connections.

External hard drives can connect directly to the Archer C3000 via its USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, making it easy to share files, photos, music, and video across your network.

The Archer C3000 is also equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet ports that enable wired speeds 10x greater than Fast Ethernet.
