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 6 GHz, 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), 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 320 MHz bandwidth is only available on the 6 GHz band. Simultaneously, the 160 MHz and 240 MHz bandwidths or the 320 MHz bandwidth might not be available on the 5 GHz band or the 6 GHz band, respectively, in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions. Double channel width and speed refer to 320 MHz compared to 160 MHz for Wi-Fi 6 mesh.

§10 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps 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. Some features are under development and will be supported with subsequent software updates.

**Use of WAP3 requires clients to also support the corresponding feature.

***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, WiFi interference, obstacles, walls, areas, and clients.

WiFi 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.

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 6 GHz band to reach up to 20 Gbps when connected to the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands of Deco BE85 simultaneously. Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E mesh may only provide 4804 Mbps on the 5 GHz or 6 GHz bands separately.

※※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 5 GHz or 6 GHz single-frequency wireless interference and tested the maximum latencies of Wi-Fi 7 clients (with MLO turned on) connecting to the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands of Deco BE85 (with MLO turned on) simultaneously and to the 5 GHz or 6 GHz bands of a Wi-Fi 6/6E mesh (without the MLO function).

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 802.11be specification.

Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.
