Overview
TP-Link builds this dual-band router on the newer Wi-Fi standard with MU-MIMO and OFDMA to serve many devices at once. It adds a USB port, VPN client and server, HomeShield security, and joins an EasyMesh network with a compatible extender.
The reason to buy is a modern router with wired and USB features and parental and security tools. The limit is that coverage is described only as strong, with no area stated, and the mesh partners are not named.
Who it's for
Households with streaming, gaming and video calls at once fit it. Very large homes, and fast fiber plans beyond gigabit, may need mesh hardware or multi-gig ports.
Pros and cons
- Newer Wi-Fi standard with OFDMA
- USB port for storage or sharing
- EasyMesh and HomeShield support
- Gigabit wired ports
- Coverage area not quantified
- Mesh partners not named
Performance notes
OFDMA and MU-MIMO split airtime between many devices, which helps crowded homes more than raw speed. Dual bands separate faster nearby devices from slower distant ones. Real throughput depends on the internet plan, distance and walls.
