• OFDMA and MU-MIMO: Help the router communicate efficiently with multiple compatible devices.
• Beamforming: Directs wireless signals towards connected clients to support stronger connections.

Multi-Gigabit Gaming Connectivity

A 2.5Gbps WAN port supports compatible high-speed internet services, while the dedicated 2.5Gbps gaming LAN port automatically prioritises traffic from the connected gaming device. Three additional Gigabit LAN ports provide wired connections for desktop computers, consoles, smart televisions and other network equipment.

Gaming Traffic Management

The integrated Game Centre brings the router’s gaming controls and performance information together in one place. It supports game application prioritisation through Quality of Service, automatic device prioritisation through the dedicated gaming port and compatible game-server acceleration services.

• Dedicated 2.5Gbps gaming LAN port.
• Game application prioritisation using QoS.
• Gaming traffic reports covering devices and applications.
• Game dashboard showing network status and router performance.
• Control of accelerated games, gaming equipment and RGB settings.

Race Car-Inspired Design with RGB Lighting

The router features an angular, race car-inspired enclosure with customisable RGB lighting for a distinctive gaming setup. Its chassis and four externally positioned antennas are designed to support ventilation, wireless coverage and stable everyday operation.

Expand with EasyMesh

EasyMesh compatibility allows the Archer GE230 to work with compatible routers and range extenders to create a more consistent whole-home network. Supported configurations can provide one Wi-Fi name, smart roaming, centralised management and wired or wireless backhaul.

Network Security and Control

TP-Link HomeShield provides network security and parental-control tools, while WPA3 support offers modern wireless encryption for compatible devices. Separate guest networks can be created on both wireless bands, and a dedicated IoT network helps keep smart devices organised.

• SPI firewall, access control and IP and MAC binding.
• WPA, WPA2, WPA3 and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise encryption.
• Separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz guest networks.
• HomeShield security and parental-control features.
• OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP and WireGuard server and client support.
• IPv4 and IPv6 compatibility.

Technical Specifications:

Maximum wireless speeds are theoretical physical rates. Actual throughput, coverage and performance depend on compatible client devices, the internet service, network conditions and the surrounding environment. Wi-Fi 7 features require compatible devices, while 2.5Gbps internet speeds require a suitable service plan and network equipment.
