Introduction

The New Wi-Fi Standard for an Advanced Online Experience
The Archer A7 is a fast 802.11ac router with incredible range. It's better than many routers that are twice as expensive. This advanced Wi-Fi is designed for high-traffic online activities and can help to run applications at triple the speed of the previous 802.11n standard.

Concurrent Dual Band Connections for Lag-Free Work and Entertainment
The Archer A7 operates both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, ensuring amazing wireless performance. Simple tasks like sending e-mails or web browsing can be handled by the 2.4GHz band while bandwidth intensive tasks like online gaming or HD video streaming can be processed by the 5GHz band - all at the same time.

External Antennas with Dual Band Wi-Fi Greatly Expand Wireless Coverage
Three external antennas with advanced connection technology allow you to maintain impressive speeds. With antennas serving both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz band, you can enjoy incredible wireless coverage and reliability in any part of your large home or office.

Versatile USB Connectivity
A USB 2.0 port makes the Archer A7 a truly resourceful gateway. Share a hard drive full of media through your home network, or via an ftp server whenever you're away.

Full Gigabit Wired Connections for Ultrafast Data Transfer Speeds
With one Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports, speeds can be up to 10× faster than standard Ethernet connections.
The Archer A7 is a powerful hub to support a robust and extremely fast wired network.
