TP-Link warranty for routers & networking

15/100 Warranty ScoreRanked 4 of 6 brands
The short version

TP-Link doesn't cover everything, but keeps router or mesh unit covered to 2 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 6 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.

From TP-Link's published warranty, checked October 2026.

The fine print, decoded

What it leaves out

  • Normal wear and tear
Good to know before you buy
  • Covers the original buyer only; coverage starts when your order is delivered.
  • You need proof of purchase and the full serial number.
  • TP-Link replaces with a refurbished or similar unit; no refunds. You pay to ship it in unless you buy a faster swap ($14.99-$49.99).
  • Used, as-is and open-box items generally aren't covered.
