7. Warranty and Legal Information
7.1 Garanti
The TP-Link Archer TBE401UH comes with a 2-ane garanti. Please refer to the official TP-Link website or the product packaging for specific warranty terms and conditions.
7.2 Limit responsabilite nou legal
Maximum wireless signal rates are physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of operating systems and access point limitations. The 160 MHz bandwidth might not be available on the 5 GHz band in some regions/countries due to regulatory limits on the spectrum, hence the theoretical speeds may vary. Use of WPA3 requires APs to also support the corresponding feature. Use of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and other features including 4K-QAM, Multi-RUs, OFDMA, MU-MIMO requires the operating systems and access points to also support the corresponding features. Functionality of Archer TBE401UH may be restricted on some operating systems and platforms. Please try to update the device's driver for feature compatibility.
