Reviews

Maximum wireless transmission rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Range, coverage, and maximum quantity of connected devices are based on test results under normal usage conditions. Actual wireless data throughput. wireless coverage, and quantity of connected devices 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.

Clients need to support 802.11k/v/r and may require additional set up. Performance may vary depending on the client device. 

§A basic TP-Link HomeCare™, powered by Trend Micro™, package is included for 3 years from date of activation at no additional cost. It includes Parental controls, Quality of Service, and Antivirus.
