Description

Description

The Archer AX80 from TP-LINK is a router, a device to which other devices (e.g., computer, mobile phone, TV) connect either wirelessly or via cable, and which distributes internet access to them. For internet access, it needs to be connected to a modem. It is of the Wi-Fi 6 generation, the latest Wi-Fi standard that offers speeds up to 40% higher than Wi-Fi 5. It coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery and performs better in environments with many Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. It broadcasts signals on two frequencies, 2.4 & 5GHz. It offers higher speeds compared to single-band and connects more devices. The 2.4GHz frequency is the most widespread and has a long range. The 5GHz provides higher speed than the 2.4GHz but is more sensitive to obstacles (e.g., walls) that reduce its range. This difference and its more limited use help it have fewer interferences from other networks.

It supports WiFi mesh, which is a complete home WiFi system with multiple access points designed to eliminate dead zones and provide seamless WiFi at home, with higher speeds and more devices.
The device has VPN (Virtual Private Network) configuration capability so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet, allowing us to appear geographically located in another country, and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor, not ours. This provides anonymity and access to geographically restricted content. VPN services are usually subscription-based.

It features an SPI firewall, a mechanism that checks data traffic for patterns of known attack types (e.g., DDoS). At the same time, its NAT firewall hides the addresses of all devices on your local network behind a unique address, increasing security. With MAC address filtering, it allows specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, blocking any device with a MAC address that has not been designated as acceptable. It offers next-generation WPA3 security, with even greater password protection and easier and more secure device connections. It offers WPA2 security, a protocol that replaced WPA in 2004 and uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology, which is approved by the U.S. government for classified documents. WPA2-Enterprise is intended for corporate use and provides increased security compared to WPA2-Personal.

Type
Router

Type

The devices we encounter are standalone routers, routers with built-in modems, and mobile routers.

A router requires a separate modem and distributes the connection to multiple devices via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but cannot connect directly to the internet. A modem/router combines a modem and router in one device, connects directly to the internet provider, and distributes the connection to the local network. A mobile router, on the other hand, uses a SIM card and mobile data to create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, ideal for use outside the home or in areas without a fixed connection.

Router

Plain router (without modem). The router is a device to which other devices (e.g. computer, mobile, TV) connect either wirelessly or with a cable, and it shares internet access with them. It receives internet access through a separate device called a modem.

Network Standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ax

Network Standards

The device supports various networking standards that affect the maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc. This information is also reflected in the more user-friendly Wi-Fi generation. It is recommended to choose a Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) device.

IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

The older Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 4, is significantly slower than Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax).

It is recommended for use with few devices and for applications that do not require high speeds. For most users, it would be preferable to choose a Wi-Fi 5 or 6 device according to their needs. Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support a previous one.

IEEE 802.11ac
The most common Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 5, is significantly faster than Wi-Fi 4 (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n).

Wi-Fi 5 can currently meet the needs of most users, but there is now the next generation Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) which offers the ability to connect many more devices to serve the increasingly smart devices in a home.

Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support some previous one.
IEEE 802.11ax
The most modern Wi-Fi standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax), offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices.

SPI
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspections) is a mechanism that monitors data traffic for patterns of known attack types (e.g. DDoS). SPI is also known as dynamic packet filtering.
Encryption Protocols
WPA-Enterprise, WPA2, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA2-Personal, WPA3-Personal, WPS

Encryption Protocols

The security protocols supported by the device for encrypting data transmitted wirelessly and protecting against third-party connections to your network.

The first protocol was WEP, which was replaced by WPA, which in turn evolves into generations with each generation having a corporate and home version. Anything older than WPA2 is not considered secure.

It is recommended that the device support at least WPA2-Personal (PSK) for home use.

WPA-Enterprise
The WPA protocol was a temporary significant improvement over WEP but still vulnerable and outdated. It has now been replaced by WPA 2. WPA-Enterprise is intended for corporate use and provides increased security compared to WPA-Personal.
WPA2
The WPA 2 protocol replaced WPA in 2004 and uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology, which is approved by the US government for classified documents. It is considered secure for home use.
WPA2-Enterprise
The WPA2 protocol replaced WPA in 2004 and uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology, which is approved by the US government for classified documents. It is considered safe for home use. 2. WPA2-Enterprise is intended for corporate use and provides increased security compared to WPA2-Personal.
WPA2-Personal
Replace WPA in 2004 with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology, which is approved by the US government for confidential documents. It is considered safe for home use. 2. WPA2-Personal is intended for home use, sacrificing security compared to WPA2-Enterprise for easier installation, using the PSK (pre-shared keys) certification process.
WPA3-Personal
WPA3 is the latest generation of WPA that will replace WPA2 and offers even greater password protection, even when they are simple. Additionally, it makes device connection even easier and more secure than previous generations. 2. WPA3-Personal is intended for home use using less powerful encryption, compared to WPA3-Enterprise which is aimed at corporate applications. It uses the SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) authentication process instead of the PSK of previous generations, significantly increasing security.
WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) offers an easy way to connect new devices to your network (e.g. by pressing a button), but it has been found to be vulnerable to attacks and is recommended to be disabled wherever possible. This security gap is considered a risk mainly for corporate applications as it is very rare for an individual to be targeted.
MAC Address Filtering
Yes

MAC Address Filtering

MAC (media access control) address filtering is the ability of a device to allow specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, while excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.
