Description
TP-Link EC225-G5 AC1300 Router for Fast Dual-Band Wi-Fi and Gigabit Networking
The TP-Link EC225-G5 combines dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Gigabit Ethernet and MU-MIMO in a practical router for everyday home or small-office networks. Its 5GHz band is suited to higher-bandwidth activities such as streaming, while 2.4GHz provides broader compatibility for everyday connected devices.
EasyMesh support also gives you an upgrade path if one router is not enough, allowing compatible EasyMesh devices to form a unified Wi-Fi network.
Is This Right for You?
- Suitable when your internet connection is supplied through an Ethernet modem, ONT or other upstream network device.
- A practical choice for users who want both dual-band Wi-Fi and Gigabit wired connections for computers, TVs or gaming devices.
- EasyMesh compatibility makes it useful where you may want to extend Wi-Fi coverage with additional compatible devices later.
Why Choose This Product?
- More bandwidth across two Wi-Fi bands: The EC225-G5 provides up to 400Mbps on 2.4GHz and 867Mbps on 5GHz, letting compatible devices use the band best suited to their connection.
- Better efficiency with multiple devices: MU-MIMO can communicate with multiple compatible devices simultaneously instead of serving them strictly one at a time.
- Gigabit wired connectivity: Three Gigabit LAN ports provide reliable wired connections for devices that benefit from Ethernet, while the Gigabit WAN port supports high-speed broadband connections.
- Expandable Wi-Fi: EasyMesh compatibility lets multiple compatible devices operate as a unified mesh network where additional coverage is needed.
- Focused wireless coverage: Four fixed omni-directional antennas work with beamforming to concentrate signal towards connected devices.
- Modern network protection: WPA3 wireless security, parental controls and guest networking provide useful tools for managing a home network.
Before You Buy
- The EC225-G5 uses a Gigabit Ethernet WAN connection. Connect it to a compatible modem, fibre ONT or other upstream internet device.
- An active subscription with an internet service provider is required for internet access.
- The router can be configured through its web interface or the TP-Link Aginet app.
- EasyMesh operation requires additional EasyMesh-compatible equipment when expanding beyond a single router.
- The supplied power adapter provides the router’s required 12V DC, 1A input.
