TP-Link HC220 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 5 AP

The HC220-G5 is a whole-home mesh Wi-Fi 5 access point based on the 802.11ac standard — a simple, low-cost way to push a compatible TP-Link router's wireless coverage into rooms the router cannot reach on its own. Because it is fully backwards compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, every device in the house connects, from new laptops to older printers and smart-home kit.

Each unit ships with its own power adapter and RJ45 Ethernet cable, so deployment is a matter of placing it where the signal fades. If the property needs the latest wireless generation instead, step up to the HB610 Wi-Fi 7 mesh AP; at the head end it pairs with routers such as the TP-Link EX230v.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a router?

No — it is a mesh access point that extends the wireless network of a compatible TP-Link router. Devices keep one Wi-Fi name as they move around the property.

Will older devices connect?

Yes. The HC220-G5 is backwards compatible with the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards, so legacy laptops, printers and smart devices all join the same network.

What comes in the box?

The HC220-G5 unit, a power adapter and an RJ45 Ethernet cable.
