Description
Experience faster speeds, higher capacity, and reduced congestion overall compared to the previous AC Wi-Fi 5 standard.[1] The Archer AX1800 4-stream dual-band router reaches speeds of up to 1.8 Gbps, for a buffer-free 4K/HD streaming and gaming experience.[2] Connect more devices via OFDMA technology, minimizing network congestion that occurs with too many connected devices.[3] Archer AX1800 uses Beamforming technology and 4 antennas to adapt and focus WiFi signals to your devices far away for stronger, more reliable coverage. Using Target Wake Time (TWT), your router talks to your devices and negotiates when and how frequently they should transfer data to increase device sleep time, extending battery life.[4] The Archer AX1800 works with all previous WiFi standards and all WiFi-enabled devices. Setup in minutes with Tether app.

[1] Claims about 802.11ax Wi-Fi technology are based on comparisons of the expected maximum theoretical data rates for one spatial stream using 802.11ax at 160 MHz (1201 Mbps) as opposed to one spatial stream using 802.11ac at 80 MHz (433 Mbps) as documented in IEEE 802.11ax draft 3.0 spec and IEEE 802.11-2016 wireless standard specifications, and require the use of similarly configured 802.11ax wireless network routers. Use of 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard requires clients to also support the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard.
[2] Maximum wireless transmission rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Range and coverage specifications are based upon test results under normal usage conditions. Actual wireless transmission rate and wireless coverage are not guaranteed, and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and client condition. Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, Internet service provider factors and other environmental conditions.
[3] Use of MU-MIMO, DL/UL OFDMA, TWT and 1024QAM requires clients to also support those functions.
[4] Saving clients' battery power requires clients to also support the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard. Actual power reduction may vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors.

AN - 11 months ago, Verified purchaser
Ended up returning it because “up to 1.8 Gbps” doesn’t actually mean that it’ll get there in the real world. Part of the reason is that the WAN port is rated for just 1 Gbps. Couldn’t get to even half that (868 Mbps) plugged directly into this router…compared to the 1785 Mbps off one with a 2.5 Gbps WAN.

This router was easy to set-up using the app option or online option. Allows you to add security with a good name and password for others to not use or access your internet. It also has a nice design to be able to blend in or hide if desired. Overall good signal strength when placed in the correct part of the house. Easy to use for all ages, overall a good product for anyone looking for an upgrade on their WiFi.

Made in Vietnam, this router is innovative, well-made, modern, and secure. It is compatible with my almost 11-year-old outdated AT&T 2Wire529 modem. It has updated and modernized my internet Wi-Fi security and has allowed me to utilize the “hidden” feature that keeps my Wi-Fi private and undetectable by neighbors. The four antennas provide better Wi-Fi coverage throughout the house. I love having the capacity to add more devices without slowing down my internet service. It was semi-easy to set up without reading the instructions. It was also easy to connect the system to my U-Verse modem using the enclosed white cable. First, I inserted one end of the white cable to the router and then inserted the other end to the modem via the Ethernet port on the back of the U-verse modem. This device kept me from replacing the old modem with an expensive, newly updated one.
