TP-Link launches Wi-Fi 7 Devices in the Philippines

TP-Link has introduced its new line of Wi-Fi 7 devices to the Philippine market. The company claims these products will deliver significantly faster speeds and lower latency compared to previous Wi-Fi generations.

Leading the Wi-Fi 7 lineup is the Archer BE230, which is the country’s first dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router. It features Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology that allows it to concurrently manage multiple wireless links for improved network stability and throughput. TP-Link states the BE230 provides up to 49% higher Wi-Fi speeds versus Wi-Fi 6 routers.

Other key enhancements in the BE230 include tripled VPN performance for secure remote access, a 3.3x reduction in network latency for real-time applications, and 4x faster USB data transfer speeds utilizing the latest Broadcom Wi-Fi 7 chipset.

In addition to the BE230 router, TP-Link unveiled other forthcoming Wi-Fi 7 products like the BE400 router, DECO BE25 mesh systems, RE235BE range extender, and TBE400UH adapter. Pricing starts at ₱5,990 for the BE230 router.

The company has partnered with PLDT Home to make the BE230 available first to PLDT’s fiber internet subscribers at a special retail price.

Alongside the Wi-Fi 7 launch, TP-Link also previewed its new Tapo smart home product line consisting of security cameras, video doorbells, floodlight cameras and motion sensors designed to integrate with the latest Wi-Fi 7 capabilities.
