Quick Installation Guide

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 network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.

Use of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and features including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024-QAM or HE160 require clients to also support the corresponding features. The 160 MHz bandwidth may be unavailable in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions

§2.5 Gbps internet speeds require compatible service plans and equipment.

Saving clients' battery power requires clients to also support the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard. Actual power reduction may vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors.

*HomeShield includes the Free Basic Plan. Fees apply for the Pro Plan. Visit tp-link.com/homeshield for more information.

**Use of WPA3 requires clients to also support the corresponding feature.

***This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11ax specification.

****Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.

*****Product is being developed and the pictures are design sketches for reference only.

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.
