TP-Link Launches Wi-Fi 7 Travel Router for Seamless Connectivity
TP-Link has unveiled its first Wi-Fi 7 travel router, the BE3600, designed to simplify the connection of multiple wireless devices to public Wi-Fi networks, offering a total bandwidth of up to 3.6 Gbps. The router is available for purchase at $139.99, with a discount price of $109.99 listed on Amazon valid until the end of August, reports 24brussels.
Traveling with multiple devices can turn connecting to free Wi-Fi at airports and hotels into a frustrating experience. The TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 BE3600 addresses this issue by allowing up to 90 devices to connect simultaneously. Users can pre-connect their devices to the router, thus only needing to log in with a single device to access public networks. The process is facilitated by TP-Link’s mobile Tether app or the router’s web interface, streamlining user experience significantly.
Beyond convenience, the BE3600 offers enhanced security features. It supports the OpenVPN and WireGuard protocols, enabling users to connect securely to over 35 different VPN providers, such as NordVPN and Surfshark, while using less trustworthy public Wi-Fi. This additional layer of privacy is crucial for users concerned about data security in public spaces.
While the router lacks a built-in battery, it can be powered through several means, including an AC adapter, external power bank, or a USB-C connection to laptops. The device includes features such as external antennas to boost Wi-Fi range, a USB-A 3.0 port for file sharing, a 2.5 Gbps WAN port, 1 Gbps LAN port, and a customizable button for quick access to various functions, including toggling the VPN on and off.
The introduction of the TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 travel router marks a significant advancement in portable connectivity solutions, addressing the challenges faced by travelers with multiple devices needing access to Wi-Fi networks.
