Consumers looking for the latest Wireless AC router that can handle multiple devices without a drop in wireless quality may want to check out TP-Link’s new Archer C2600. This new networking device boasts 4-stream and multi-user MIMO technologies that optimizes speed and connection performance. This router also offers one of the fastest speeds on the market, providing up to 1733Mbps on the 5GHz band.
“The Archer C2600 is an extremely powerful router with an elegant, streamlined design,” said Lewis Wu, executive vice president of TP-LINK USA. “Coupled with multi-user MIMO and 4-Stream technology, the Archer C2600 is designed to handle the increasing bandwidth demands of today’s modern homes that are filled with multiple users’ different devices that are all accessing the network simultaneously.”
According to the company, many routers on the market send data to one device at a time. However, with MU-MIMO technology, the router can “serve” several devices simultaneously, meaning your devices won’t have to wait in line to send and receive data. This technology is backed by a dual-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz that can support multiple users. Ultimately you get better streaming and gaming thanks to this new router.
In addition to the 1733Mbps speeds on the 5GHz band, the Archer C2600 provides speeds of up to 800Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, significantly higher than many Wireless AC routers on the market today. These speeds are complimented by four gigabit LAN ports, a gigabit WAN port and two USB 3.0 ports, which can be used to share a printer or external drive.
“Archer C2600 routers provide faster, more efficient Wi-Fi connectivity for the growing number of smart devices on a network,” the company adds. “Four high-performance external antennas and high-powered amplifiers help Archer C2600 routers maximize coverage area and stability within the home, while beamforming technology further improves the Wi-Fi coverage by helping it locate wireless devices to form stronger, more reliable connections, even when mobile devices move from room to room.”
Customers eager to get their hands on this networking speed demon can grab it from Newegg for a meaty price of $250. The company says that the router will be made available on TP-Link’s store and other offline and online retailers later this month.
