Featuring a 2.5 GbE WAN port, a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, and a USB-A 3.0 port for file sharing, this router is well-suited for homes and small offices requiring high-speed internet access and efficient network management via the TP-Link Tether app.

Routers have an extremely low cost of ownership, drawing minimal continuous power. There are no consumables, and hardware generally lasts until technological obsolescence requires an upgrade.
Common Failure Modes
