What to know about TP-Link routers

TP-Link’s strength is choice at every level. If you know what you need, whether that’s Wi-Fi 7, a 10 Gbps port or a mesh kit for three floors, there’s usually a TP-Link model with it for less than the big-name rivals ask.

The Archer routers are single boxes, from basic Wi-Fi 6 models for an apartment up to Wi-Fi 7 flagships with multi-gig ports. Deco is the mesh range, and its units mix across generations, so you can grow a system over time. Roam covers travel. Many Archer routers can also join a mesh through EasyMesh, which saves replacing the router you already have.

Two things to check before you buy. The cheapest models stop at 1 Gbps ports, which holds you back on a faster internet plan. And advanced security and filtering sit in HomeShield Pro, a paid subscription, while the basic version stays free. Every TP-Link router we list comes with a two-year warranty.

Frequently asked questions

What are TP-Link's router ranges?

Archer for single routers, including the Archer GE gaming models, Deco for mesh Wi-Fi, and Roam for travel routers.

Does TP-Link need a subscription?

Not for the basics. Wi-Fi and basic parental controls are free. HomeShield Pro, with advanced security and controls, is a paid subscription.

Can I mix Deco models?

Yes. Most Deco units work together in one network, so you can add a newer unit to an older system.
