Overview
Six internal antennas with beamforming aim three next-generation WiFi bands at devices from this upright TP-Link router, while extra-wide channels and multi-link operation raise throughput on new devices. Every Ethernet port runs at multi-gig speed.
Multi-gig ports on every jack plus next-generation WiFi make it a strong single router for gamers and home offices. A single unit covers a mid-size home, so bigger houses need EasyMesh additions.
Who it's for
Gamers, streamers and home offices with fast plans get wired multi-gig and next-generation WiFi in one box. Owners of very large homes should budget for mesh satellites.
Pros and cons
- Multi-gig on WAN and every LAN port
- WiFi 7 tri-band
- VPN client and server built in
- Separate IoT network option
- Mid-size coverage from one unit
- Tall upright body needs shelf room
- Modem required for most providers
Performance notes
Peak speed comes from the extra-wide channels and multi-link operation, which only the newest devices use. Older devices still connect at their own speeds. Real coverage depends on walls and floors, so placing the router centrally matters most.
