TP-Link Launches the First Wi-Fi 7 Router in the Philippines

The wait is over: TP-Link is officially bringing the Wi-Fi 7 experience to the Philippines!

Through the announcement of its newest line of products last Thursday, April 25, which includes routers optimized for Wi-Fi 7 technology and Tapo smart home devices, TP-Link is set to bring in a new standard for high-speed and seamless connectivity in the country.

What is Wi-Fi 7?

Wi-Fi 7 represents the next evolution in wireless networking, offering speeds that are 20% faster than previous generations. Newer technology and developments have also resulted in significantly reduced latency rates for ultra-responsive connections. With its advanced features and capabilities, Wi-Fi 7 routers ensure smoother streaming, faster downloads, and lag-free online gaming, enhancing every aspect of digital experiences.

“TP-Link is the first in the world to release its Wi-Fi 7 products and we are thrilled to be the first to introduce the future of connectivity to the Philippines,” said Ben Chen the Country Manager at TP-Link Philippines. “With Archer BE230 as the country’s first Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router in the market, it represents TP-Link’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to stay connected in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.”

TP-Link will release Wi-Fi 7 to the Philippine market and is poised to bring a multitude of benefits to users, revolutionizing the way we experience wireless connectivity. In addition to blazing-fast speeds and reduced latency, features like Multi-Link Operation, 4096QAM, and Multiple Resource Units help optimize Wi-Fi 7 so network efficiency is significantly better. This results in better allocation of resources, reduced interference, and overall smoother data transmission. It is also expected to offer better coverage compared to previous generations. Users can enjoy more reliable connections across larger areas, reducing dead zones and providing consistent performance throughout their homes or workplaces.

New security features and enhancements are also introduced, bolstering overall network protection. With stronger encryption standards and enhanced defenses against emerging threats, users can feel more secure and confident about the safety of their wireless activities.

“With Wi-Fi 7, we’re not only talking about faster downloads and smoother streaming but also unlocking a whole new world of tech advancements for every Filipino,” added Ben Chen.

Introducing all of TP-Link’s Wi-Fi 7 Products

TP-Link has debuted the inaugural Wi-Fi 7 router in the Philippines, the Archer BE230, boasting substantial enhancements in performance and user experience. Equipped with Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology, Archer BE230 adeptly manages multiple links concurrently, thereby significantly bolstering network stability and speed. In settings such as homes and offices where network usage is intensive, the Archer BE230 effectively diminishes data transmission delays and interference.

Here are other benefits of the new Archer BE230 Wi-Fi 7 router:

• 49% increase in transmission speed (compared to its predecessor) and Maximum Resource Utilization (MRU) technology, promising users swifter response times and reduced waiting periods for activities like data downloads, video streaming, and large file transfers.
• reduced network responsiveness delay (3.3x compared to previous models) which delivers a smoother and immediate interactive experience—a plus for gamers/eSports players and remote workers who would benefit from ultra-low latency.
• a fourfold increase in USB read/write performance, enhancing speeds significantly when transferring large files or conducting high-speed data backups.

The launch of this innovative Wi-Fi 7 router in the Philippines is also owed to TP-Link’s continual partnership with PLDT Home. Existing PLDT Home Fiber subscribers will have early access to this cutting-edge technology at a special retail price too.

TP-Link also Introduces New Tapo Smart Home Line-Up

TP-Link also unveiled a new lineup of Tapo smart home products, designed to complement their Wi-Fi 7 technology. These offerings include Tapo C425, a wire-free security camera; Tapo D230S1, a 2K 5MP Tapo Smart Battery Video Doorbell; Tapo C720, a 2K QHD Smart Floodlight Camera; and Tapo T100, a Smart Motion Sensor, just to name a few. These new Tapo smart home products will be released in May 2024.
