Introduction

Ultra-Thin Design,
Extraordinary Performance
AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Air Router

Ultra-Thin and Minimalist Design
Archer Air R5 has a compact size of 210×148×10.8mm and is even thinner than a wall outlet.

The pure white shell, minimalist lines and rounded corners form an elegant appearance and make Archer Air R5 better integrated with modern home interiors.

The LED and WPS 2-in-1 button on the front and the Type-C power port on the bottom further simplify Archer Air R5’s look.

Flexible Installation, Ultra Convenience
Archer Air R5 is designed to easily mount onto walls and offers multiple installation methods. With two 3M adhesives on its back and a plastic bracket accessory, you can paste or mount it on a wall. Its freer placement also saves electrical socket space.

Live in the Fast Lane with WiFi 6
Armed with AX3000 WiFi 6, Air R5 is built to deliver a huge boost in speed, capacity, and coverage.

Smart Antennas for All-Round Coverage
Archer Air R5’s built-in smart antennas use intelligent algorithms to auto-detect your devices’ locations and switch to the optimal antenna arrays, ensuring all-round stable signals even in duplex houses.

Boosted WiFi Signals Throughout Your Home
