TP-Link Archer VR2100

details: AC2100 Wireless MU-MIMO VDSL/ADSL Router
hardware type: DSL Wireless Router
date added: 2020-10-10
The Archer VR2100 features Super VDSL (VDSL2 Profile 35b), the latest generation of DSL technology. Downstream is increased by up to 350 Mbps, 3.5x faster than its VDSL2 predecessor. The integrated DSL port also supports all standard DSL connections.

The Ethernet WAN port supports wired connection to cable or fiber modem, letting you take full charge of its wireless capabilities as a router. In case your internet goes down, attach a 3/4G adapter to USB 3.0 port to serve as a backup option so you can get back online in no time.

The Archer VR2100 makes full use of its dual-band Wi-Fi abilities, reaching speeds of up to 1733 Mbps on 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz band. Enjoy a total speed of up to 2.1 Gbps to eliminate latency and buffering from your HD streams and lag from online games.

MU-MIMO technology serves up to four devices at once, reducing wait time, increasing Wi-Fi throughput for every device, and making each stream more efficient.

Co-work with TP-Link OneMesh products, to provide a more flexible and cost-effective Mesh network with a single Wi-Fi name for seamless whole-home coverage.
