Works with Both DSL and NBN ⭐
Great product. I bought it because my new house only supported DSL, but later I upgraded to NBN with a fibre installation. It worked perfectly with both, so I didn't need to buy another modem. Highly recommended!

Things to consider
This model is better suited to small to medium spaces and everyday use than large homes or users wanting the stronger range, higher device capacity and newer wireless features offered by Wi-Fi 6 or mesh systems.
Large home coverage score
5/10 - suitable for apartments and small to medium single-level homes, but not ideal for large or multi-storey properties.
Smart home device compatibility
Good for common smart home devices using 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, with dual-band support that suits everyday connected households.
Gaming performance rating
6/10 - capable for casual online gaming and shared home use, but not designed as a specialist gaming router.
Easy setup suitability
8/10 - the integrated modem design and Tether app make installation and everyday management straightforward for most users.
Key benefits
- Integrated VDSL/ADSL Modem: Combines your DSL modem and Wi-Fi router in one device, reducing clutter and simplifying home internet setup.
- Dual-Band Wi-Fi: Separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands help spread devices across two networks for smoother streaming, browsing and everyday multitasking.
- AC1200 Wireless Speed: Delivers up to 867Mbps on 5GHz and 300Mbps on 2.4GHz for responsive performance across common home internet activities.
- MU-MIMO Support: Helps the router handle multiple compatible devices more smoothly at the same time, which is useful in busy households.
- Beamforming Coverage: Focuses wireless signal toward connected devices to help maintain more stable connections around the home.
- Flexible Wired Connectivity: Three LAN ports and one WAN/LAN port make it easy to connect desktops, TVs, consoles or switch to another internet source if needed.
- USB 2.0 Port: Lets you share storage on your network or use supported mobile broadband backup for added connection flexibility.
- Tether App Management: Makes setup and routine network management easier from a mobile device without needing complex manual configuration.
Q: Will this modem router work with DSL and NBN services?
A: Yes. Archer VR400 has an integrated DSL port for VDSL2, ADSL2+, ADSL2 and ADSL connections, plus a WAN/LAN port for compatible services that use an external broadband box. That makes it useful if your connection type changes later.
Q: How many wired devices can connect to the Archer VR400?
A: Archer VR400 has 3 dedicated LAN ports for wired devices such as a TV, console or desktop PC. It also has 1 WAN/LAN port, but that port may be needed for the internet connection instead of an extra device, depending on how you connect.
Q: Is this router enough for a three-bedroom unit or apartment?
A: Yes, in many single-level homes and units. Archer VR400 uses dual-band Wi-Fi, beamforming and 2 fixed antennas, but it is better suited to apartments or similar layouts than larger multi-storey homes where walls and floors can reduce coverage.
Q: Can the USB port handle backup internet and file sharing?
A: Yes. The USB 2.0 port can be used for shared storage on your network or with compatible mobile broadband backup. It is practical for basic sharing and fallback access, but it is not intended as a high-speed NAS replacement.
Q: Are the Ethernet ports gigabit on the TP-LINK Archer VR400?
A: Yes. Archer VR400 uses Gigabit Ethernet for its wired network ports, which suits stable links for devices like desktop PCs, smart TVs and consoles. Your internet speed will still depend on the broadband service and connection type feeding the router.
Q: Can this modem router work with a separate mesh system?
A: Yes. Archer VR400 can provide the internet connection to another router or mesh system over Ethernet. It is still an all-in-one modem router, so this suits buyers who need DSL support now but may prefer different Wi-Fi hardware later.
