The latest generation of Wi-Fi technology brings faster speeds, less lag, and higher capacity, enabling more simultaneous connections on your home network.

Enjoy stable Wi-Fi connections even in the kitchen and bedroom. High-Power FEM, 6× Antennas, Beamforming, and 4T4R structures combine to adapt Wi-Fi coverage to perfectly fit your home and concentrate signal strength towards your devices.

Equipped with a next-gen high-efficiency 64-bit Qualcomm CPU, Archer AX72 processes data responsively and reduces the latency within the network, delivering a robust yet stable network.
