TP-Link announces breakthrough with first Wi-Fi 8 connection

London, UK – 13th October, 2025 – TP-Link Systems Inc.®, a leading global networking provider, announces the successful completion of a Wi-Fi 8 connectivity test. Data transmission was demonstrated using a prototype developed alongside industry partners - representing an important step toward the next generation of wireless technology.

Wi-Fi 8 feasibility confirmed

The test successfully validated both the Wi-Fi 8 beacon and data throughput. This underscores the feasibility of the technology and marks a critical milestone in the global Wi-Fi 8 development. TP-Link is taking the next important step towards the highly reliable wireless performance that the industry requires, given the increasing availability of devices and bandwidth-intensive applications.

Introducing Wi-Fi 8

WiFi 8 is the next Wi-Fi standard, focused on ultra-high reliability. Instead of striving for maximum speed, it focuses on stable connections, stronger coverage, and smoother roaming - even on heavily congested networks. Wi-Fi 8 manages more devices simultaneously and maintains a stable connection as you move around the house. Devices experience less lag and greater stability - even at greater distances from the router.

TP-Link technology leadership

Through continuous collaboration with partners within the ecosystem, TP-Link is advancing the technologies that will shape the next era of connectivity. The goal is to provide consumers and businesses with the highest speed, stability, and reliability for the needs of the future. The first throughput test marks an important milestone for the next level of highly reliable connectivity.
