^†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Connection to over 150 devices is based on laboratory test data, which analyzed the connections of different devices on the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands simultaneously. These devices simulated a typical home scenario by running simultaneous applications in the same room that included 4K video, 1080p video, 720p video, file downloading, web browsing, IP cameras, and other IoT devices. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage, and connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of internet service provider factors, network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.
^‡Clients need to support 802.11k/v/r and may require additional setup. Performance may vary depending on the client device.
^△Use of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), and other features including MLO, 4K-QAM, Multi-RU, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and BSS Color requires clients to also support the corresponding features. 
^§2.5G internet speeds require compatible service plans and equipment. All WAN/LAN ports will operate as either WAN or LAN ports. Only one port can serve as a WAN port at a time.
^◊Use of WPA3 requires clients to also support the corresponding feature.
*HomeShield includes both basic and advanced features. Advanced features require a paid subscription. For details, visit tp-link.com/homeshield
^**Wi-Fi generations represent the wireless standard IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be.
^☆Users may require an extra modem device that is compatible with their internet service provider to gain internet access.
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.
This Deco may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in the IEEE 802.11be specification. 
Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.
