- TP-LINK Tether App – TP-LINK Tether provides the easiest way to access and manage the router on your iOS and Android devices
Groundbreaking MU-MIMO: A Giant Leap in Wireless World
With MU-MIMO technology, the Archer VR2600 is able to serve multiple connected devices simultaneously. It dramatically reduces wait-time for all clients by making better use of the unoccupied wireless capacity. This results Wi-Fi that is up to 3x faster on each device.
Enjoy 4K streaming movies, video chats, and online gaming, all at the same time and without any annoying lag or buffering, thanks to the breakthrough MU-MIMO technology.
Industry-leading Wi-Fi Speed
To achieve industry-leading Wi-Fi speeds on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, the Archer VR2600 uses astonishing 4-Stream technology to boost its wireless capabilities. The 800Mbps + 1733Mbps dual-band Wi-Fi is capable of performing even the most demanding bandwidth-intensive tasks with ease.
Versatile Connectivity
With multiple inputs, the Archer VR2600 provides you with a variety of options when connecting to the Internet. As a backup, both of the two USB ports support 3G/4G dongle connections. Additionally, the WAN port allows the Archer VR2600 to accept connections from cable and fiber modems via Ethernet cable.
Greatly Enhanced Processing
A preeminent 1.4GHz dual-core processor brings a new level of performance and efficiency to Archer VR2600, making it possible for everyone in your crowded network to surf, stream, and game at once without any slowing down.
Superior Wi-Fi Coverage
Four high-performance external antennas help the Archer VR2600 create a strong, far-reaching network for your home. Beamforming technology further improves the router's coverage by helping it locate wireless devices to form stronger, more reliable connections, even with mobile devices moving from room to room.
Lightning-Fast Wired Connection
The Archer VR2600's dual USB 3.0 ports run 10x faster than USB 2.0 for data transfer at lightning speed. You can connect external drives to the ports and easily share files, photos, music, and video across your network.
To help your wired devices achieve peak performance, the router also equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet ports that can operate 10x faster than standard Ethernet.
Easy Setup and Use
Set up the Archer VR2600 in minutes thanks to its intuitive web interface and the powerful Tether app. Tether also lets you manage its network settings from any Android or iOS device, including Parental Controls and Access Controls.
