FAQs

What is WiFi 6 and why is it better?

WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is the latest Wi-Fi standard. It offers faster speeds, lower latency, and better performance when connecting multiple devices simultaneously compared to previous Wi-Fi standards like Wi-Fi 5.

How do I set up a guest network?

You can set up a guest network through the TP-Link Tether app. Navigate to 'Guest WiFi' and follow the on-screen prompts to create a separate network with its own name and password, isolating it from your main network.

Can I use this router with my existing TP-Link mesh system?

Yes, the Archer AX58 is compatible with TP-Link's EasyMesh standard. You can add compatible TP-Link range extenders to create a seamless whole-home mesh network.

What is Beamforming technology?

Beamforming is a feature that helps direct and concentrate the Wi-Fi signal towards your connected devices, rather than broadcasting it equally in all directions. This results in a stronger and more stable connection.

Does this router have parental controls?

Yes, TP-Link HomeShield, integrated into the Archer AX58, offers robust parental controls, allowing you to manage internet access, set time limits, and filter content for connected devices via the Tether app.

What is the maximum theoretical speed of this router?

The Archer AX58 offers dual-band WiFi 6 speeds with a theoretical maximum of 574 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 2402 Mbps on the 5GHz band, totaling AX3000.

Do I need a separate modem for this router?

Yes, the Archer AX58 is a router and does not have a built-in modem. You will need a separate cable, DSL, or fiber modem to connect to your Internet Service Provider.

Troubleshooting

Router not connecting to the internet

Ensure your modem is powered on and connected correctly. Restart both your modem and the router. Verify your ISP connection details are entered correctly in the router's setup.

Slow WiFi speeds

Check if too many devices are connected. Try moving the router to a more central location. Ensure firmware is up to date. If using the 2.4GHz band, check for interference from other devices.

Cannot access router settings via Tether app

Make sure your smartphone is connected to the Archer AX58's WiFi network. Ensure the Tether app is updated to the latest version. Restart both the router and your smartphone.

WiFi signal is weak in certain areas

Adjust the position of the router's antennas. Consider using the EasyMesh feature with compatible TP-Link range extenders to create a mesh network for broader coverage.

Connected devices are frequently disconnected

Update the router's firmware. Reduce the number of connected devices if possible, or consider upgrading to a higher-capacity router. Check for wireless interference.
