Frequently Asked Questions

Does the TP-Link Archer AX10 replace my modem?

No. The Archer AX10 is a Wi-Fi router, not a modem. It connects to a separate cable or DSL modem, which is listed in TP-Link's system requirements.

Will my older phones and laptops connect to this Wi-Fi 6 router?

Yes. The Archer AX10 works with all earlier 802.11 standards (a/b/g/n/ac), so devices that aren't Wi-Fi 6 still connect. You only get the OFDMA and 1024-QAM efficiency gains on Wi-Fi 6 devices.

How fast is the Archer AX10?

It is rated for up to 1201 Mbps on the 5 GHz band (802.11ax) and up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band (802.11n). Your real-world speeds depend on your internet plan, your distance from the router and each device's Wi-Fi capability.

What does Renewed mean for this router, and is there a warranty?

Amazon-qualified suppliers inspect and test each renewed unit to work and look like new. It qualifies for replacement or refund under the Amazon Renewed Guarantee. Check the product listing for the current guarantee terms.

Use the TP-Link Tether app, or use a web browser such as Chrome 20.0, Firefox 12.0, Safari 4.0 or Internet Explorer 11 on Windows, macOS or Linux. Parental controls and Alexa support are part of the feature set.
