TP-Link is ready to start selling Wi-Fi 8 routers, but don’t expect them to arrive stateside just yet. The company is sidestepping the US market amid a White House ban on foreign-made routers. On Wednesday, TP-Link opened preorders for its first Wi-Fi 8 product, the Archer 8 Ultra, which is designed to deliver speeds up to 19Gbps and robust wireless coverage via 18 antennas.
