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).)

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.

Product Manuals
A: Hi, we'll be happy to help answer these questions for you. 1. The key differences are that the AX90 is a Tri-Band router, whereas the AX6000 is a dual-band router. This means the AX90 has a slightly slower 2.4GHz band (up to 574Mbps) when compared to the AX6000 (up to 1148Mbps). However, the AX90 offers more overall 5GHz bandwidth (one 5GHz band at up to 4804Mbps and another at up to 1201Mbps). Also, the Archer AX6000 has eight Gigabit LAN ports, whereas the AX90 has four. 2. Yes, both models are manufactured in china. TP-Link values the security of our networking products with the utmost importance. Our routers utilize the latest industry standards in encryption (including WPA3 for the two models in question) to ensure you can enjoy their robust Wi-Fi 6 capabilities with peace of mind. Both models receive active development/support and firmware updates.
Q: will tp-link upgrade this to 6E in a later update or any of it's other routers
A: I don't believe this router will be able to be upgraded to 6e as it would need the internal hardware for that to be possible. Remember the new 6 GHz band that a 6e router will offer won't be visible on older wi-fi devices.
Q: will this work with xfinity?
A: Will work fine with Xfinity, as long as you also have a modem compatible with their system. I use a Netgear modem and have been very happy with this Router.
Q: How many connected devices will this support at one time?
A: Currently I have 23 devices being supported by my router. It seems it's handling the load just fine. No glitches so far. I have 6 televisions, 4 computers, 7 telephones. and a host of other devices.
A: Yes, the Archer AX90 includes mounting key holes on the bottom of the unit.
Q: Will this support a mesh system?
A: It works with the TP-Link One Mesh system. Just search TP-Link One Mesh to find out which units work with it. I get great coverage with the AX90 AX6600. Two story house 1900sqft. Router located on first floor near the center of the house. Speed depends on what you pay for. I have 400 Mbps and with my iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPad Pro I get that full speed all over the house..
Q: How much square foot does this reach?
A: My home is 2-story and 2,500 sqft and this reaches to the back corner of our property with no boosters needed whatsoever.
A: Hi! The Archer AX90 supports one SSID per Wi-Fi band. That would mean a theoretical total of 6 SSIDs - one per 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 5GHz-2 Main Network band, and one per 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 5GHz-2 Guest Network band.
