TP-Link unveils early Wi-Fi 8 router and mesh system at IFA

TP-Link introduced its first Wi-Fi 8 hardware at IFA 2026, including the Archer 8 Ultra router and Deco 8 Ultra mesh system, which use the draft IEEE 802.11bn standard to improve real-world connectivity rather than raw speed. The router offers up to 19Gbps wireless and 10Gbps wired throughput, while the mesh system reaches 22Gbps wireless and covers up to 9,800 square feet. Preorders for the router start September 30, with the mesh system and other Wi-Fi 8 products arriving in 2027.
