1. Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection, quality, and client condition.
2. 8mm refers to the thickness of the majority of the device. Some portions may exceed this size out of necessity.
3. TP-Link EasyMesh-compatible products can network with other devices that use EasyMesh. Failed connections may be due to firmware conflicts of different vendors.
4. Pictures are for reference only.If there are any inconsistencies between the product image and the actual product, the actual product shall prevail.
5. Use of Wi-Fi 6 / 802.11ax and DL/UL OFDMA requires compatible clients.
6. Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, Internet service provider factors and other environmental conditions.
