TP-Link’s Archer 8 Ultra reportedly becomes the first Wi-Fi 8 router on sale, but not in the US
TP-Link has opened early sales for the Archer 8 Ultra in markets including the UK, Germany, Australia, and Canada. PCMag and Tom’s Hardware report the US is missing as FCC restrictions still block TP-Link from selling new router models there.
TLDR
TP-Link has opened early sales for the Archer 8 Ultra, which TechRadar, Tom’s Hardware, and PCMag describe as its first Wi-Fi 8 product and reportedly the first Wi-Fi 8 router to reach buyers. The launch includes markets such as the UK, Germany, Australia, and Canada, but not the US, where PCMag and Tom’s Hardware tie TP-Link’s absence to ongoing FCC restrictions on new foreign-made wireless hardware.
