The TP-Link Archer AX21 AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 router has plummeted to $52, down from its regular $80 price tag and even below its Black Friday low, according to News Of Los Angeles.
At a Glance
- The Archer AX21 is now $28 off its normal price
- Speed ceiling hits 1.8 Gbps across dual bands
- Works with every major U.S. ISP
- Why it matters: A sub-$60 Wi-Fi 6 upgrade kills dead zones without killing your budget
This drop, reported by Olivia M. Hartwell, lands the dual-band router at its cheapest point yet, though the retailer has not announced when the promotion ends.
Speed & Specs
The AX1800 label translates to a theoretical maximum of 1.8 Gbps, split between:
- 1,200 Mbps on 5 GHz
- 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz
Four gigabit Ethernet ports sit on the rear for wired devices that need stable throughput. The unit is compatible with Comcast, Charter, AT&T, Verizon, Xfinity, Spectrum, RCN, Cox, CenturyLink, Frontier and others, so swapping hardware does not require calling the cable company for a new gateway.
Smart Features
Amazon Alexa owners can bark commands at the router once it is tied to the same account. The skill lets users reboot the network, turn on guest Wi-Fi or rattle off the current password without opening an app.
Deal Context
Even at full price the Archer AX21 has been a go-to budget Wi-Fi 6 pick in News Of Los Angeles round-ups. Dropping to $52 shaves 35 percent off and slides it into impulse-buy territory for anyone still leasing an aging 802.11n box from their provider.
