TP-Link Announces Breakthrough By Demonstrating Its First Wi-Fi 8 Connection
TP-Link's prototype confirms Wi-Fi 8's potential to improve real-world data rates by up to 25 percent while focusing on ultra-reliable connectivity and reduced latency.
- On Monday, TP‑Link Systems Inc. in Irvine announced it transmitted data with a Wi‑Fi 8 prototype developed through a joint industry partnership, validating the beacon and throughput.
- Wi‑Fi 8, also called IEEE 802.11bn, prioritises Ultra High Reliability and real‑world performance rather than peak speed, following Wi‑Fi 7, with IEEE expecting final approval by late 2028.
- Specifications show Wi‑Fi 8 uses three bands , retains 4096 QAM and 320 MHz bandwidth, and adds four new technologies to boost real‑world data rates by up to 25 percent.
- TP‑Link says it expects consumer devices based on the prototype before ratification, and Wi‑Fi 8 should deliver ultra-reliable networking for bandwidth-intensive use in over 170 countries.
- As Wi‑Fi 7 becomes more widespread and prices fall, TP‑Link's progress toward Wi‑Fi 8 reflects efforts to reduce interference among Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Ultra‑wideband.

TP-Link Boasts "breakthrough" with First Wi-Fi 8 Connectivity Test
Networking kit manufacturer TP-Link, which develops a lot of broadband routers, WiFi extenders and smart home devices for network operators and consumers, today claims to have hit a “major technological milestone” after they conducted their first successful connectivity test using a prototype of the next gen Wi-Fi 8 standard (802.11bn – Ultra High Reliability). As we’ve previously reported, Wi-Fi 8 will focus more on improving network reliabilit…
TP-Link has completed Wi-Fi 8 prototype testing, focusing on reliability and stability rather than speed. The technology is designed to increase throughput, reduce latency, and support more devices while reducing interference.
