300 Mbps Wireless Performance

The TL-WR846N delivers up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, providing a practical wireless connection for everyday online activities. Its Wi-Fi 4 technology makes it suitable for basic home networking, internet browsing, online work, streaming, and compatible smart devices.

4× Fixed Antennas & 2×2 MIMO

Four fixed antennas and 2×2 MIMO technology help the router provide reliable wireless coverage. TP-Link positions the TL-WR846N for typical two-bedroom-home coverage, although actual range depends on walls, interference, network conditions, client devices, and the router's placement.

4-in-1 Multi-Mode Networking

The TL-WR846N can be configured in Router, Access Point, Range Extender, or WISP mode. This flexibility allows the same device to be adapted to different networking requirements, whether creating a primary wireless network, extending existing coverage, or connecting to an upstream wireless service.

EasyMesh-Compatible Networking

With EasyMesh compatibility, the TL-WR846N can be combined with compatible EasyMesh devices to help create a broader mesh network. This can be useful when extending Wi-Fi coverage and reducing wireless dead zones across a home or similar environment.

Guest Network & Parental Controls

The router provides a dedicated 2.4GHz guest network so visitors can access the internet without using the primary wireless network. Parental control features including URL filtering and time controls help administrators manage when and how selected devices access the internet.

Wired Connectivity & IPTV Support

For wired devices, the TL-WR846N provides one 10/100 Mbps WAN port and three 10/100 Mbps LAN ports. IPTV-related features include IGMP Proxy, IGMP Snooping, Bridge, and Tag VLAN support for compatible network and service configurations.

Important Considerations

• Single-Band Wi-Fi: The TL-WR846N operates on the 2.4GHz band and does not provide 5GHz Wi-Fi.
• Fast Ethernet Ports: The WAN and LAN ports are 10/100 Mbps, so wired throughput is limited compared with Gigabit Ethernet routers.
• Actual Wireless Speed: The advertised 300 Mbps is the maximum physical wireless rate; actual throughput varies according to environmental conditions, interference, client devices, and network traffic.
• EasyMesh Compatibility: Mesh functionality requires compatible EasyMesh devices and supported firmware.
• Hardware Version: Specifications and feature availability can vary by hardware version and region. Verify the hardware revision before firmware upgrades.
