High-Power AC2600 Wi-Fi 5 Router

The Amped Wireless RTA2600-CA Athena is a Wi-Fi 5 router that delivers AC2600 speeds through 16 high-power amplifiers and four detachable 5 dBi antennas. It operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, providing up to 800 Mbps on the lower band and 1,733 Mbps on the higher band. A 1.4 GHz Qualcomm dual-core processor manages traffic for multiple simultaneous connections.

Homes needing wall-penetrating coverage

This router suits households that want extended range through walls and floors using high-gain antennas and amplifiers. It also fits users who need to share files from USB storage via one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port. Buyers requiring multi-gigabit WAN or LAN ports beyond 1 Gbps should look at other models.

16 amplifiers and four antennas drive the range

The defining specification is the combination of 16 high-power amplifiers with four detachable high-gain antennas. This hardware determines the router's ability to push signals through obstacles and cover large areas. If your environment demands that level of penetration, this hardware matches the requirement.

Questions about this item

Do I need a separate modem with an Ethernet port for the RTA2600-CA router to work?

Yes, the router requires a broadband modem with an Ethernet port for the WAN connection, plus a computer with a wired or wireless network adapter for setup.

Will my older Wi-Fi 5 devices connect to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands on this router?

The router supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards, so legacy Wi-Fi 5 devices can connect on either the 2.4 GHz band at up to 800 Mbps or the 5 GHz band at up to 1,733 Mbps.

How can I confirm the router is delivering AC2600 performance after installation?

Check the router's status page for a combined wireless rate of up to 2.53 Gbps — 800 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1,733 Mbps on 5 GHz — and verify MU-MIMO is active for simultaneous device streaming.
