†
Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage, and connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of internet service provider factors, network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials,
obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.
†
Lower Latency refers to the latency improvement of Wi-Fi 7 routers compared to Wi-Fi 6/6E routers, based on laboratory test data. The test conditions had the same 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz single-frequency wireless interference and tested the maximum latencies of Wi-Fi 7 clients (with MLO turned on) connecting to the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands of Archer
BE230 (with MLO turned on) simultaneously and to the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz bands of a Wi-Fi 6/6E router (without the MLO function).
△
Higher capacity and lower latency refers to the capacity and latency improvement of Wi-Fi 7 routers compared to Wi-Fi 6/6E routers, based on laboratory test data.
§
2.5 Gbps internet speeds require compatible service plans and equipment. 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.
Use of WPA3 requires clients to also support the corresponding feature.
Use of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and features including Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 4K-QAM, Multi-RUs, OFDMA, and MU-MIMO requires clients to also support the corresponding features.
*Wi-Fi generations represent the wireless standard IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be. All devices need to support 802.11 Wi-Fi protocols. Users may require an extra modem device that is compatible with their internet service provider to gain internet access.
**HomeShield includes both basic and advanced features. Advanced features require a paid subscription. For details, visit tp-link.com/homeshield
***TP-Link EasyMesh-compatible products can network with other devices that use EasyMesh. Failed connections may be due to firmware conflicts of different vendors. The EasyMesh-compatible function is still being developed on some models and will be supported in subsequent software updates.
This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in the IEEE 802.11be specification.
Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.
