Archer A9
Fully-Enhanced Wi-Fi Performance
Ultra-fast 802.11ac Wave2 Dual-Band WiFi
Archer A9 delivers WiFi speeds of up to 1300 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 600 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. Handle simple tasks like sending e-mails or web browsing with the 2.4 GHz band and bandwidth-intensive tasks like online gaming or HD streaming with the 5 GHz band—simultaneously.
Boosted WiFi Coverage
Three external antennas and one internal antenna sends WiFi signals to every corner of your home. Beamforming technology detects devices, even if they are far-away or low-powered, and concentrates wireless signal strength towards them.
More Devices , Endless Entertainment
Archer A9 helps your devices achieve optimal performance by making communication more efficient with MU-MIMO technology. Three simultaneous data streams allow all connected devices to achieve speeds up to 3× faster than standard AC routers.
Efficient WiFi Distribution for Smoother Performance
Smart Connect helps the router automatically switch each device's connection to the best available WiFi band while Airtime Fairness prevents older devices from slowing down your network. With both working together, everyone can enjoy a smoother WiFi experience without lag.
Beyond Security
Archer A9 improves your online safety and security by providing advanced features and technology like Parental Controls, Access Control and a VPN Server. You can also benefit from the very latest security enhancements—WPA3™ if you keep your router's firmware up to date.
Gigabit Wired Speeds
Gigabit Ethernet ports (1 WAN + 4 LAN) deliver maximum wired speeds. Plug in your PCs, smart TVs and game consoles for fast and reliable connections.
Easy Setup and Management
Set up Archer A9 in minutes via its intuitive web interface or the Tether app. Tether also lets you manage network settings including parental controls and media sharing from any Android or iOS device.
