Wi-Fi 7 is here with TP-Link Australia launching their Archer Gaming Routers, built specifically for the demands of modern gaming.
At the centre of the range is the Archer GE550, a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router delivering combined speeds of up to 9220 Mbps alongside dedicated gaming features designed to reduce lag, prioritise game traffic, and keep performance stable under load.
Archer GE550: Engineered for Zero-Latency Gaming
For households where the router has to serve gaming, streaming, video calls, and smart home devices at the same time, shared bandwidth becomes a real problem. The GE550 addresses this with a dedicated 5 GHz gaming band that separates game traffic from the rest of the home network, so a console or PC stays prioritised while others stream in the background.
