TP-Link's AP500 provides a total of 1900Mbps Wi-Fi speeds (simultaneous 600Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1300Mbps on 5GHz).

Three detachable antennas provide wider coverage to eliminate dead zones. The addition of Beamforming Technology helps concentrate Wi-Fi signal strength in the direction of connected devices to deliver a stable connection, even over long distances.

The Ethernet port can provide gigabit-class Internet access or an ultra-fast connection for wired devices such as smart TVs, game consoles, etc.

The dual core Broadcom processor improves efficiency and performance by dividing tasks between the cores, effectively allowing multiple things to be done simultaneously.

The AP500's web interface allows it to be set up and configured in a matter of minutes. The intuitive design makes installation faster and easier than ever and allows users to monitor and personalize settings for a wide range of functions.
