AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Performance

The Archer VR400 provides simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless connectivity. The 5GHz band delivers wireless speeds of up to 867 Mbps for bandwidth-intensive activities, while the 2.4GHz band provides speeds of up to 300 Mbps and broader compatibility with older and smart-home devices.

This dual-band architecture allows compatible devices to use the most appropriate wireless frequency, helping reduce congestion when multiple devices are connected to the network.

VDSL2 & ADSL Modem Support

The integrated DSL modem supports VDSL2, ADSL2+, ADSL2, and ADSL standards, allowing the Archer VR400 to function as both the broadband modem and wireless router. TP-Link specifies VDSL2 broadband speeds of up to 100 Mbps under supported line and service conditions, while ADSL2+ supports up to 24 Mbps. Actual internet performance depends on the ISP service, line quality, distance, and network conditions.

MU-MIMO for Multiple Devices

MU-MIMO technology helps the router communicate with multiple compatible wireless devices more efficiently. Instead of serving devices strictly one at a time, MU-MIMO can simultaneously serve multiple clients, helping improve overall wireless network efficiency in environments with several connected devices.

Beamforming for Improved Wireless Coverage

The Archer VR400 uses Beamforming technology to identify connected wireless devices and focus wireless transmission toward them. This can help improve signal strength and connection reliability for compatible devices compared with broadcasting the signal uniformly in every direction.

Gigabit Wired Networking

The router includes three Gigabit LAN ports and one Gigabit WAN/LAN port. These high-speed Ethernet interfaces are suitable for connecting desktop computers, smart TVs, gaming consoles, NAS storage, access points, switches, and other wired network equipment.

Gigabit Ethernet provides a significantly higher wired data rate than traditional 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, making the Archer VR400 suitable for local file transfers and high-speed broadband connections supported by the network infrastructure.

Flexible Internet Connectivity

In addition to DSL connectivity, the Archer VR400 provides flexible Ethernet-based networking. The WAN/LAN interface can be used with compatible external broadband equipment such as a cable or fibre modem. The USB port can also support compatible 3G/4G adapter configurations, providing additional internet connectivity options where supported.

USB Connectivity

The integrated USB 2.0 port adds functionality beyond standard modem and router operation. Depending on the supported configuration and firmware, the USB interface can be used for compatible USB storage, printer, or 3G/4G adapter functions.

OneMesh Networking

The Archer VR400 supports TP-Link OneMesh with compatible TP-Link products. This allows users to build a more flexible whole-home wireless network by combining compatible networking devices to improve coverage and provide smoother roaming across supported areas.

Security & Network Management

The router includes multiple network management and security functions, including NAT firewall, SPI firewall, access control, service filtering, DoS protection, IP/MAC binding, port forwarding, DMZ, UPnP, and guest networking. These features provide administrators with greater control over connected devices and network traffic.

For convenient administration, the TP-Link Tether app allows compatible Android and iOS devices to manage supported router settings without requiring access to a desktop computer.
