Equipped with 6× high performance antennas, Archer BE600 boosts the WiFi signals throughout your home. The Beamforming technology detects devices and concentrates signals towards them, especially to previously hard-to-reach areas.

Multi-Link Operation (MLO) enables Archer BE600 to transmit data with Wi-Fi 7 clients across multiple bands simultaneously to increase throughput, reduce latency, and improve reliability for various networking behaviors.

Archer BE600 is EasyMesh-compatible. If you have any dead zones at home, just add another EasyMesh router/range extender to further form your whole home multi-gigabit mesh WiFi. No more searching for a stable connection.

Set up a separate WiFi for IoT devices and overlay HomeShield and advanced WPA3 encryption to better protect the security of your home network and IoT devices.

Allow devices in your home network to access remote VPN servers without needing to install VPN software on every device. Archer BE600 can run both the VPN and ordinary internet connections at the same time, delivering security and flexibility.
