TP-Link has a router with antennas that adjust their direction automatically

In what is likely to be one of the strange innovations at CES this year, TP-Link is showing off the prototype of the new Archer AXE200 Omni router.

And there are plenty of new routers taking advantage of 6E connectivity making its debut at this year's CES. But the architecture of this particular router raises some eyebrows.

The Archer AXE200 Omni features four mechanically rotating antennas that open and rotate automatically to search for the best possible signal.

These robotic antennas adapt to the user's orientation or directions assigned on the application.

Although the necessity of this special feature is debatable. But it is strange to see a router come to life and move its antennas.

While the effectiveness of this particular feature is uncertain. But the technical specifications are impressive.

And as you might expect from a 6E router, the Archer AXE200 Omni features an improved triple-band speed, with 6GHz band joining the existing 5GHz and 2.4GHz ranges.

In addition, Wi-Fi 6E compatibility allows the router to exploit additional bandwidth and reduce overall latency.

The new router provides speeds of up to 11 Gbps and is equipped with a quad-core 2.0 GHz CPU.

You can also create a true seamless mesh network with EasyMesh. While the 10G port provides ultra-reliable and high-speed data transfers.

HomeShield provides comprehensive network protection, strong parental controls, and real-time security.

The Archer AXE200 Omni is still in the prototype stages. As a result, there is no information regarding price or release time.

TP-Link also offers the Archer AXE300, the company's first quad-band router. Although it does not feature independent antennas. But it shares the same design with the Archer AXE200 Omni.

The Archer AXE300 takes full advantage of WiFi 6E with redundant 5GHz bands as well as 6GHz and 2.4GHz bands. The Archer AXE300 is scheduled to be available in the second quarter of 2022.

Having more bands can reduce network congestion. And you can set up a custom band, which should come in handy for things like online gaming if the platform or computer is too far from the router to connect over Ethernet.

In the field of mesh networks, the company also announced an update to the Deco router. The new TP-Link Deco XE200 comes with Wi-Fi 6E support that helps it reach speeds of up to 11Gbps.

The company said the system with two Deco routers can cover homes an area of ​​6,500 square feet, and allow 200 devices to connect simultaneously. This should make Deco suitable for use in small offices, home offices and homes.
