TP-Link Archer NX200 - Tabletop router, White

The TP-Link Archer NX200 5G AX1800 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router with a built-in 5G/4G/3G modem that provides internet access for homes and small offices without the need for fixed-line infrastructure. It supports wireless speeds up to 1800 Mbit/s across both frequency bands, using the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard to manage bandwidth distribution. If the 5G signal is unavailable, the internal modem automatically switches to 4G LTE or 3G, ensuring connectivity wherever mobile coverage is available.

The router features three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) for wired connections to devices such as computers or consoles. One of these ports also serves as an RJ-45 WAN interface, allowing it to connect to a traditional fixed-line broadband service. A NanoSIM card slot is provided for cellular data. Ten internal antennas are integrated into the chassis to handle both mobile signal reception and Wi-Fi broadcast. The unit is powered by an AC adapter and designed for tabletop use. Note that this model lacks USB ports, meaning it does not support direct network file sharing via external storage drives.

• MU-MIMO and 1024-QAM – communicates with multiple client devices simultaneously to reduce network latency.
• Integrated VPN support (OpenVPN, IPSec, PPTP) – enables secure remote access to the internal home or office network.
• Quality of Service (QoS) – allows administrators to prioritise specific devices or traffic types during periods of heavy bandwidth use.
• Guest network – provides separate access on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to isolate visitor devices from sensitive local hardware and files.
• Security – includes IPv4 SPI and IPv6 firewall protection with DoS attack prevention to monitor traffic and block unauthorised access.
