Smooth Entertainment with AC1200 Dual Band WiFi
The Archer C6 creates a reliable and blazing-fast network powered by 802.11ac WiFi technology. The 2.4 GHz band delivers
speeds up to 300 Mbps allowing you to email and browse the web, while the 5 GHz band delivers speeds up to
867 Mbps making it ideal for HD video streaming and lag-free online gaming.
5 High-Performance Antennas for
WiFi Coverage throughout Your Home
Four external antennas and one internal antenna send WiFi signals to every corner of your home. Stay connected and enjoy fast WiFi whether you are lounging on the sofa or on the balcony. With a powerful chipset, the Archer C6 provides ideal WiFi coverage.
Access Point Mode
Switch the working mode of the Archer C6 to Access Point Mode to share your wired network with other wireless devices.
MU-MIMO
Increases Speed, Throughput, Capacity
MU-MIMO enables the Archer C6 to serve multiple devices simultaneously. Say goodbye to bandwidth congestion and lag as you zip through a more efficient network built for more users and more devices.
Gigabit Connectivity, 10× Faster
