Here's a domicile Wi-Fi router that doubles as a conversation piece. The TP-Link Archer AXE200 Omni, launched today at CES 2022, has four rounded antennas that will move automatically to get the all-time possible connection to your devices — even changing position as you motion around a big room.

That connection could be pretty fast, too, because the Archer AXE200 Omni is one of a few routers to employ the brand-new Wi-Fi 6e technology, which adds another ring of wireless spectrum to the existing two.4- and 5-GHz bands. The new band covers a huge amount of underused spectrum from 6 to 7 GHz, resulting in very piffling interference.

TP-Link says that the Archer AXE200 Omni tin can deliver a wireless throughput of more than 10 Gbps, provided that all 4 antennas and three bands are directed toward the same device, which itself has to be capable of using Wi-Fi 6e — such equally the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphone.

Wired speed is very fast also, because the Archer AXE200 Omni has a 10-Gbps Ethernet port to go along with its 2.5-Gpbs port and iv i-Gbps ports. TP-Link says the fast Ethernet will be almost useful with 8K video streaming and augmented/virtual reality devices.

The Archer AXE200 Omni comes with the free tier of TP-Link's HomeShield  security software and parental controls; the paid tier gives you lot more features and costs $six per month or $55 per year. It'southward also compatible with TP-Link'due south mesh routers, so you can add it to your existing setup.

The TP-Link Archer AXE200 Omni will be bachelor afterwards this year — we've heard the 2nd quarter, but don't hold us to that — at a price yet to exist determined.
