Deco 8 Ultra Mesh System and Future Plans
For broader coverage, TP-Link detailed the Deco 8 Ultra BN22000 tri-band mesh router, which offers aggregate speeds of up to 22 Gbps and 10 Gbps wired connectivity. A three-pack configuration of the Deco 8 Ultra BN22000 is designed to cover up to 9,800 square feet. This mesh system is expected to be available in Q1 2027. TP-Link also plans to expand its Wi-Fi 8 portfolio by Q2 2027 with a Roam 8 travel router, range extenders, and client adapters.
Wi-Fi 8 Performance Focus
Wi-Fi 8 is positioned as an improvement in quality-of-life and real-world performance over Wi-Fi 7, rather than a significant theoretical speed increase. TP-Link's StabilityEngine, incorporating Enhanced Long Range (ELR) and Distributed Resource Units (DRU), aims to improve wireless connectivity, particularly for low-power IoT devices at the edge of a network.
