TP-Link® Launches AX1800 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router Archer AX20 at CES 2020

LAS VEGAS, January 7, 2020 — TP-Link^®, a leading global provider of consumer and business networking products, today announced Archer AX20. This dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router is destined to bring the dual-band experience to a whole new level, with fine-tuned functionalities for daily use.

The latest Wi-Fi 6 standard boosts speeds, expands coverage, reduces latency, and prevents dropped connections for homes with numerous devices. Equipped with dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Archer AX20 keeps your streaming experience smooth even when there are dozens of devices connected to your Wi-Fi. Abundant features — including HomeCare™ Pro, USB Sharing, WPA3, and more — help you easily customize your home network and keep your network safe. 

Faster Speeds, Less Congestion

Archer AX20 transmits maximum Wi-Fi throughput for multiple devices without bumping up latency thanks to the introduction of OFDMA technology. With 1024-QAM and a higher symbol rate, Archer AX20 provides a 40% faster top speed on the 5 GHz band when compared to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi 5 signal. While 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6 signals have a 90% speed improvement versus a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 4 signal. With shared Wi-Fi becoming less taxing, streaming just got that much better.

Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6

Archer AX20 is TP-Link’s first entry-level Wi-Fi 6 router with a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 structure. Wi-Fi 6 introduces Target Wake Time (TWT) and longer guard intervals to achieve better power preservation and signal reception.

This setup will help realize the future of IoT. Since most IoT devices work on the 2.4 GHz band, with Archer AX20, you will enjoy every Wi-Fi 6 feature, whether you’re streaming 8K videos, downloading your favorite movie collection, or controlling IoT.

Broader Coverage and Greater Stability

Coverage is also getting a boost with Wi-Fi 6. The newly introduced longer Guard Interval (GI) protects Wi-Fi signals from interruptions and consequently expands range. The longer GI, Beamforming technology, and 4 antennas let Archer AX20 cover a broader area. Feel free to move around while enjoying stable Wi-Fi throughout your home.

Powerful Processing Ability

Equipped with a 1.5 GHz quad-core CPU, Archer AX20 forwards network requests with minimal delays and is highly responsive to every click made. Compared to its Wi-Fi 5 predecessor, it pushes even higher throughput without compromising latency.

Abundant Features

Today, routers perform more than just a simple network gateway. With built-in HomeCare™ Pro, you can enjoy an up-to-date antivirus service, limit time spent online, and block specific content. A USB port enables you to share files across your home network or set up your own private cloud storage via the TP-Link Dynamic DNS service (or using public IP). WPA3, the latest Wi-Fi encryption method, is also available to prevent brute-force attacks.
