Wi-Fi 6 Upgrades Everything

The latest generation of Wi-Fi technology brings faster speeds, less lag, and higher capacity, enabling more simultaneous connections on your home network.


Warp Speed for Smooth 8K Streaming

Drastically improved speeds enable streaming, fast downloading, and gaming, all at the same time. Need to go faster?

Hop on 5 GHz with full speed-boosting features to stream multiple 8K videos without lagging.


Extensive Wi-Fi Coverage with Advanced Technology

Enjoy stable Wi-Fi connections, even in the kitchen and bedroom. High-Power FEM, 6× Antennas, Beamforming, and 4T4R structures combine to adapt Wi-Fi coverage to perfectly fit your home and concentrate signal strength towards your devices.

Connect 100+ Devices

Easily handle dozens of devices streaming and gaming at the same time — OFDMA and MU-MIMO combine to future-proof your home network by providing greater capacity to connect more devices.


Designed to Be Cool

The slant rectangle atop of the scaled armor design provides a contemporary aesthetic. The vent design takes up 167 cm² (25 in²) of its top surface for improved heat dissipation, unleashing the whole machine's full power.


TP-Link HomeShield: Advanced Security for Unlimited Clients

HomeShield protects all connected clients against DDoS, malicious sites, and port intrusion, delivering a safe network environment for your data and privacy.

TP-Link OneMesh™: Flexibly Create Whole Home WiFi with Archer AX72

Want to build a whole-home Wi-Fi? Archer AX72 supports OneMesh to form seamless whole-home coverage, preventing drops and lag when moving between signals.


Easy Setup and Use

Whether you prefer the intuitive Tether App or the powerful web interface, you can set up your Archer AX72 in minutes. The Tether App allows you to manage network settings from any Android or iOS device.


Press Release: 

†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage 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.


‡Use of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and features including OFDMA, 1024-QAM, or HE160 require clients to also support the corresponding features.160 MHz bandwidth may be unavailable on the 5 GHz band in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions.


§Archer AX72 can connect 64 devices on the 5 GHz band, and 48 devices on the 2.4 GHz band. Performance may vary depending on the applications and environmental factors.


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


**Use of MU-MIMO requires clients to also support the corresponding feature.


***This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11ax specification.


****Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.
