†Maximum 5G download and upload speeds depend on external factors such as the local 5G network coverage, data plan, real-time network capacity, client limitations, and environmental factors. Actual supported frequency bands may vary slightly in different regions due to certification.
‡Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage, and quantity of connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.
◇This device requires an activated SIM card without a PIN lock. If the SIM is locked, please consult the quick installation guide for unlocking instructions.
△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.
§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.
