Pros
- High total speed of 9220 Mbps across three bands suits gaming and 4K streaming
- 5 Gbps WAN and LAN remove wired bottlenecks for consoles and PCs
- MLO cuts latency by using two bands at once
- EasyMesh extends coverage without changing network name
- HomeShield protects devices without extra subscriptions
Cons
- Three of the LAN ports are 2.5 Gigabit, not 5 Gigabit, so multi-device wired setups cap below the WAN and one LAN port speed.
- Tri-band with a dedicated 5 GHz gaming band means non-gaming devices share the 2.4 GHz and other bands, which may congest in busy homes.
- EasyMesh needs TP-Link EasyMesh hardware to extend coverage, so existing non-TP-Link extenders will not mesh.
