Notes:
1/ Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Connection to over 200 devices is based on laboratory test data, which analyzed the connections of different devices on the 6GHz, 5GHz, and 2.4GHz 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.
2/ Clients need to support 802.11k/v/r and may require additional setup. Performance may vary depending on the client device.
3/ Use of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and features including Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 320 MHz Bandwidth, 4K-QAM, Multi-RUs, OFDMA, MU-MIMO and BSS Color requires clients to also support the corresponding features. The 320MHz bandwidth is only available on the 6GHz band. Simultaneously, the 160MHz and 240MHz bandwidths or the 320MHz bandwidth might not be available on the 5GHz band or the 6GHz band, respectively, in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions. Double channel width and speed refer to 320MHz compared to 160MHz for Wi-Fi 6 mesh.
4/ 10Gbps and 2.5Gbps 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.
5/ HomeShield includes the Free Basic Plan. Fees apply for the Pro Plan. Visit tp-link.com/homeshield for more information. Some features are under development and will be supported with subsequent software updates.
6/ Use of WAP3 requires clients to also support the corresponding feature.
7/ The test was conducted in a 4,600 sq. ft. two-story villa with 5 bedrooms with an interior made up of drywall. The DECO BE85 was tested with 4×4 MLO-compatible clients. Home networking performance may vary, depending on the network’s speeds, fiber or Ethernet access, Wi-Fi interference, obstacles, walls, areas, and clients.
8/ 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.
9/ 4.2× faster Wi-Fi speed refers to the theoretical speeds of Wi-Fi 7 clients when connected to DECO BE85 compared with a Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E mesh. Wi-Fi 7 clients need to support Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and the 6GHz band to reach up to 20Gbps when connected to the 5GHz and 6GHz bands of DECO BE85 simultaneously. Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E mesh may only provide 4804Mbps on the 5GHz or GHz bands separately.
10/ 4× Lower Latency refers to the latency improvement of Wi-Fi 7 mesh compared to Wi-Fi 6/6E mesh, based on laboratory test data. The test conditions had the same 5GHz or 6GHz single-frequency wireless interference and tested the maximum latencies of Wi-Fi 7 clients (with MLO turned on) connecting to the 5GHz and 6GHz bands of DECO BE85 (with MLO turned on) simultaneously and to the 5GHz or 6GHz bands of a Wi-Fi 6/6E mesh (without the MLO function).
11/ 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.
12/ This DECO may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in IEEE 802.11be specification.
13/ Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.
14/ Google and Google Home are trademarks of Google LLC.
15/ Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant. User experience is dependent on the connected device’s specifications.
16/ Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant are not available in all languages and countries.
