* 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.
* Use of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 6E, and features including OFDMA, 1024-QAM, and
HE160 require clients to also support the corresponding features. Seven 160MHz
channels may not be all available in the 6 GHz band in some regions/countries due to
regulatory restrictions.
* 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.
* 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.
