What This Product Does
TP-LINK’s AC3200 Wireless Tri-Band Gigabit Router integrates 4-port Switch, Firewall, NAT-router and Wireless AP. Powered by
3x3 MIMO technology, this router delivers exceptional range and speed, which can fully meet the need of Small Office/Home
Office (SOHO) networks and the users demanding higher networking performance. Your wireless connections are radio band
selectable to avoid interference in your area, and the four built-in Gigabit ports supply high-speed connection to your wired
devices.
More Wi-Fi for More Devices
The Archer C3200 uses Tri-Band technology to run three separate Wi-Fi channels at once, creating a network that can connect
to more devices without a trade-off in performance.
Smart Connect helps devices run even faster by assigning them to the best available channel to balance network demand.
Seamless Streaming and Gaming
With the fastest combined Wi-Fi speed of up to 3200Mbps, the Archer C3200 lets you simultaneously game online and stream
video in 4K Ultra HD across multiple devices without lag.
Maximum Coverage and Stability
Six high-performance external antennas greatly increase the Archer C3200’s range and signal stability. Beamforming technology
further improves the router’s coverage by helping it locate wireless devices to form stronger, more reliable connections.
Run All Your Devices At Once
A powerful 1GHz dual-core CPU and three co-processors easily handle the demand made on the Archer C3200’s network
when multiple users are browsing, streaming, and gaming all at the same time.
Lightning-Fast Wired Performance
External hard drives can connect directly to the Archer C3200 via its USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, making it easy to share files, photos,
music, and video across your network.
The Archer C3200 is also equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet ports that enable blazing wired speeds 10x greater than Fast
Ethernet, helping connected gaming consoles, PCs, and smart TVs achieve their best performance.
Easy Setup and Use
