BN19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 8 Router

Pure, unfiltered power

For over a decade, better WiFi meant faster speeds. But with WiFi 8, real power is more than peak speed.
It means maintaining reliable performance at the edges, through walls and interference,
and in a home full of devices. Archer 8 Ultra is built to deliver that power every day.

Tri-Band WiFi 8 Speed: 19 Gbps

Whole-Home Coverage^‡: 3,600 sq. ft.

Connected at once^‡: 200 devices

With multi-floor mode: 18 antennas

WiFi 8 StabilityEngine^™

TP-Link’s WiFi 8 StabilityEngine™ is an adaptive WiFi system that keeps your network performing steadily
as conditions change. It combines WiFi 8 technologies to strengthen connections,
manage interference and distribute capacity more efficiently across the home.

Devices at the edges of your home can lose signal or drop out. ELR (Enhanced Long Range)
and DRU (Distributed Resource Units) extend cleaner signals to distant and low-power devices.

ELR, DRU, and DSO available via future software updates.

Bandwidth for
everything.
All at once.

Up to 19 Gbps of tri-band speed gives you the bandwidth to do more
at once. Stream in 4K/8K, game, video call, and download across

WiFi 8, answered

How is WiFi 8 better than WiFi 7?

WiFi 8 (802.11bn) shifts the focus from peak speed to reliability. Archer 8 Ultra is engineered to hold a stronger, steadier connection than WiFi 7 in the conditions that matter most at home: at the edges of coverage, through walls and interference, and when many devices are online at once. In TP-Link lab testing versus WiFi 7, it delivered up to 33% higher throughput, up to 24% more consistent performance under interference, and up to 15% stronger mesh performance.

How is the Archer 8 Ultra different from a WiFi 7 router?

Archer 8 Ultra pairs up to 19 Gbps of tri-band speed with the WiFi 8 StabilityEngine, a group of new technologies that deliver ultra-high reliability (ELR, DRU, New MCS, UEQM, DSO, and NPCA) not present in WiFi 7. It also adds Multi-Access Point Coordination for whole-home mesh, 18 internal antennas with Range Boost for coverage up to 3,600 sq ft, and the Aireal AI Assistant for real-time optimization and self-healing.

Do I need WiFi 8 client devices to benefit from the Archer 8 Ultra?

No, Archer 8 Ultra is backward compatible with your existing phones, laptops, and smart-home devices, and it works with any internet provider. Many of its reliability improvements benefit the devices you already own, while newer WiFi 8 clients can unlock the full experience.

Is WiFi 8 worth upgrading to from Wi-Fi 7?

If your only priority is a larger peak-speed number, WiFi 7 and WiFi 8 are close. If you care about reliability, whole-home coverage, and stability with many connected devices, the Archer 8 Ultra is designed to deliver a noticeably steadier real-world experience than WiFi 7.

When is the Archer 8 Ultra available?

Archer 8 Ultra is scheduled to launch in select regions October 2026, and progressively in other regions throughout 2027. It is the first product in TP-Link's WiFi 8 portfolio, which also includes Deco 8 mesh, Roam 8 travel, and WiFi 8 range extenders. Regional availability will be confirmed closer to launch.

^†Use of WiFi 8 (802.11bn) and features requires clients to also support the corresponding features.

^‡Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage, and connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.

^△10 Gbps internet speeds require compatible service plans and equipment. Actual internet speeds are limited by the internet bandwidth access from an internet service provider. For the 10 Gbps SFP+/RJ45 combo port, users can choose only one of them as a WAN port at a time.

^※Use of WPA3 requires clients to also support the corresponding feature.

^*HomeShield includes the Free Basic Plan. Fees apply for the Pro Plan. Visit tp-link.com/homeshield for more information.

^◇TP-Link EasyMesh-compatible products can network with other devices that use EasyMesh. Failed connections may be due to firmware conflicts of different vendors. The EasyMesh-compatible function is still being developed on some models and will be supported in subsequent software updates.

^*WiFi generations represent the wireless standard IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be/bn.

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.

This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in the IEEE 802.11bn specification.

Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.

^**Future feature availability, including but not limited to ELR, DRU, and DSO functionality, is planned for deployment via free software updates between 2027 and 2028. Actual availability, feature specifications, and compatibility may vary by model, region, and hardware configuration.
