TP-Link - Archer AX3200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router - Black
- Key Specs
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number Of LAN Ports: 3 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Wi-Fi Speed: 3.2 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- General
- Brand: TP-Link
- Model Number: Archer 3200
- Product Name: Archer AX3200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router
- Color: Black
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA, WPA2, WPA3, WPA-Enterprise (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: NAT (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Quality Of Service (QoS) Traffic Prioritization: true (Allows a user to manage a device's network performance by configuring the types of traffic that receive top priority for transmission. High priority functions and applications receive maximum network performance, while low priority traffic receives minimum performance.)
- Band Technology: Tri (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000/2500 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number of Antennas: 6
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 6 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AX, AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Input/Output Technology: MU-MIMO (Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple Output) (Generally, multiple-input multiple-output communication technologies allow for more signals to be transmitted at a single time, which can improve the device's overall performance.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Certifications Listings & Approvals
- ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)
- Features
- App Compatible: true (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)
- App Name: Tether
- Beamforming: true (A signal processing technique that enables a router to focus a Wi-Fi signal in a specific direction. The router determines where a connected device in the network is located and projects a stronger signal in that specific direction. This can result in faster and higher quality data transfer as well as reduced signal interference.)

Q: Is this a Mesh enabled router?
A: Yes, the AX3200 is compatible with our OneMesh mesh service. You will need a compatible Extender like the RE505X or RE603X to make use of it. So you know OneMesh is not compatible with our Deco Mesh system.
A: Hi! Yes, this router supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi technology, so your devices that support only 2.4GHz will connect to the 2.4GHz band, and dual-band devices will be able to choose between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
Q: Does this router support guest network that is isolated from the home network?
A: Hi! Yes, this router supports a Guest Network feature, and clients on the Guest Network can be isolated from the primary network.
A: I have the AX3200 set up in the bedroom closet of a 4200 sq 2 story home. Fed by a DOCSIS 3.1 modem with a 1 gig connection I get consistent WiFi speeds up to 600gbps upstairs and 300 on the first floor with 60-80 connected clients. I'm on a large lot and although speeds over 70gbps is available i opted to add a TP Link mesh extender and now have up to 200gbps available with seamless transition between both nodes. All this with almost no annoying drops. You make your own judgement
A: Hi! One important factor is the square footage of your home. For many homes, this router should work just fine. However, for a larger, or multi-level home, we would suggest considering one of our Deco Mesh Wi-Fi Systems, ideally one with Gigabit, Wi-Fi 6, Tri-Band capabilities.
A: Hi! This TP-Link Tri-Band AC3200 Wi-Fi router is not a modem, so you will still need a cable modem to use in conjunction with the router.
A: Thats not how wireless routers work. You would need a wireless router/modem combo or to buy each separate. I am not sure that you can do that with hughesnet. I would look it up to see if you can use your own modem with hughesnet. My suggestion would be to switch from hughesnet to maybe starlink.
