The TP-Link Archer Air R5 is a versatile and lightweight high-performance router offering dual-band AX3000 WiFi 6 (802.11ax) technology and mesh compatibility for total network coverage of any space, contained in an extremely thin and lightweight chassis for minimal aesthetic impact. The Archer Air R5 features smart antennas, which use intelligent algorithms to triangulate the position of any connected devices and adjust the antennas direction accordingly for signal stability, and a strong emphasis on enhanced network security with included TP-Link HomeShield.

Description

The Archer Air R5, despite its slender frame, offers 2402Mbps throughput on the 5Ghz band, meaning it'll be able to handle areas of high traffic density and demanding latency-sensitive applications like HD video streaming or gaming and video conferencing. The Archer Air R5 can also deliver this speed consistently throughout any space, by virtue of both its intelligent and automatically adjustable antennas and by being EasyMesh compatible, meaning it can work with other EasyMesh routers to create a seamless mesh WiFi network. For more information about Mesh networks, take a look at our blog!

The Archer Air R5 also includes a sophisticated suite of security protocols such as built-in TP-Link HomeShield for enhanced security defence against network threats, which features a real-time home network scanner, fully customisable parental controls, and QoS (Quality of Service), allowing you to assign specific devices to have faster connections for critical performance. The Air R5 also offers a built-in VPN server for secure connection to your home network, meaning that you don't need to install a VPN on every device for fully secure connectivity.

As a result of its lightweight and low-profile chassis the Air R5 is engineered specifically to be wall-mounted and fit almost flush to the wall, even thinner than a wall outlet. It also includes two adhesive pads on its back and a plastic bracket accessory, freeing up desk and electrical socket space without sacrificing speed or signal consistency.
