TP-Link unveiled its Wi-Fi 8 routers, the Archer 9 Ultra standard router and the Deco 8 Ultra mesh system, at IFA 2026, built around the company's Wi-Fi 8 StabilityEngine. [^1]

The Archer 8 Ultra and Deco 8 Ultra use the upcoming IEEE 802.11bn standard, which is not yet finalized. [^2]

The TP-Link Archer 9 Ultra is a tri-band Wi-Fi 8 router offering a speed of 19Gbps and coverage of up to 3,600 square feet (3,000 square feet in Europe), with 18 antennas. [^3]

The TP-Link Deco 8 Ultra is a tri-band Wi-Fi 8 mesh system with a speed of 22Gbps (19Gbps in Europe) and, in a 3-pack, covers up to 9,800 square feet while supporting over 200 devices. [^4]

TP-Link said that its Wi-Fi 8 routers improve reliability with more connected devices, handle interference from other networks better, and provide a stronger wireless connection at the edge of range, via Dynamic Sub-band Operation (DSO), Non-Primary Channel Access (NPCA), Enhanced Long Range (ELR), and Distributed Resource Units (DRU). [^5]

The Deco 8 Ultra mesh system provides up to 22Gbps of wireless speed and 10Gbps of wired connectivity. [^6]

TP-Link said in its announcement that the new devices prioritize fixing common connectivity problems instead of focusing on speed upgrades. [^7]
