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. The devices promise improved reliability over speed, utilizing US-led engineering to mitigate concerns regarding foreign-made router bans.
