TP-LINK has introduced a new entry in its “Dadao” series of routers with the launch of the TL-7DR6430 in China. Priced at 199 yuan (around $28), the router supports BE6400-class Wi-Fi 7 speeds and is aimed at home users and small businesses seeking high performance on a budget.
TP-LINK TL-7DR6430 Specifications
The TL-7DR6430 delivers a combined wireless speed of up to 6430Mbps. The 5GHz band uses the Wi-Fi 7 standard and supports 4×4 MIMO at 5764Mbps, while the 2.4GHz band supports Wi-Fi 6 with 2×2 MIMO at 574Mbps. TP-LINK claims this performance is on par with BE7200-class routers.
The router includes one 2.5G WAN/LAN port and three Gigabit Ethernet ports. The 2.5G port supports broadband speeds of up to 2000Mbps and can also be used for NAS setups and high-speed internal file transfers. It supports dual WAN, load balancing, and link aggregation.
TP-LINK has equipped the router with a newly developed “pixel antenna” system, which it says was optimized using AI algorithms. According to the company, the AI platform simulated billions of antenna layouts to find a configuration that increases antenna gain by 20% and improves overall wireless performance by up to 50% in specific use cases.
The TL-7DR6430 also includes five independent external FEMs (PA+LNA+RF Switch) and supports 4T5R transmission and reception. These components aim to improve signal strength and stability across different environments.
For gamers, the router provides a dedicated gaming LAN port and supports four built-in game acceleration services: NetEase UU, Thunder, Youbangbang, and Qiyou.
The router supports TP-LINK’s EasyMesh protocol, enabling one-click mesh networking with compatible routers. It also allows seamless integration with TP-LINK IoT devices such as smart locks and cameras.
The router supports parental controls, IPTV functionality, remote VPN access, and business-grade wireless authentication. It can be managed remotely via TP-LINK’s IoT and business cloud apps.
