**Acutual DSL downlink speeds vary between households. Factors affecting DSL speeds include the internet service level, real-time network capacity, equipment and client limitations, environmental factors.

Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput, 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.

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 6, and other features including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024-QAM, and BSS Color require clients to also support the corresponding features. The 160 MHz bandwidth may be unavailable in the 5 GHz band in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions.

§Gigabit 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.

*HomeShield includes the Free Basic Plan. Fees apply for the Pro Plan. Visit tp-link.com/homeshield for more information.

 

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 IEEE 802.11ax specification.

Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.
