The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.Wi-Fi bands

Dual-band

Dual-band

Dual band routers have two bands, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The 5GHz band is faster and more stable, with the only downside being that it covers a shorter range than the 2.4GHz band. If you have many connected devices, you may benefit from a tri-band router, which has an additional 5GHz band to reduce network congestion. Finally, there are quad-band routers. These take advantage of Wi-Fi 6E to provide an additional 6GHz band for faster speeds and lower latency.Wi-Fi speed

867 Mb/s

867 Mb/s

A higher maximum Wi-Fi speed results in better performance. This is measured in megabits per second.CPU speed

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (TP-Link Archer A6)

2 x 0.44 GHz

The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.RAM

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (TP-Link Archer A6)

0.13GB

Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of memory used to store working data and machine code. Having more RAM is particularly useful for multitasking, allowing you to run more programs at once or have more tabs open in your browser.has an external memory slot✖TP-Link Archer A6✖TP-Link Archer C6 AC1200 MU-MIMOThe device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.Has DNS relay✔TP-Link Archer A6✔TP-Link Archer C6 AC1200 MU-MIMOWith DNS relay or DNS caching, the router stores the response to queries for a short time. This means that the same query will return a quicker response if repeated from another computer in the same network.internal storage

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (TP-Link Archer A6)

16MB

The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
