TP-Link has announced its first Wi-Fi 8 hardware — the Archer 8 Ultra router and Deco 8 Ultra mesh system — at IFA 2026, ahead of the IEEE 802.11bn standard being finalized. The company says the devices are designed to solve real-world connectivity issues rather than simply boosting headline speeds. The Archer 8 Ultra is equipped with 18 internal antennas and supports wireless speeds of up to 19Gbps alongside 10Gbps wired connectivity. The Deco 8 Ultra mesh system offers even higher wireless throughput at up to 22Gbps, also with 10Gbps wired support. Both products are expected to launch soon, positioning TP-Link as an early mover in the next-generation Wi-Fi space.
