TP-Link Launches Wi-Fi 8 Routers Ahead of Standard Finalization
TP-Link has unveiled its first Wi-Fi 8 hardware, the Archer 8 Ultra router and Deco 8 Ultra mesh system, at IFA 2026. Preorders for the router begin September 30, 2026, despite the IEEE 802.11bn standard not being finalized until May 2028.
