The TP-Link Roam 7 travel router is now available for its lowest price ever at just $89.99, down from its original price of $129.99. This compact device measures roughly the size of a paperback book and features foldable antennas for easy portability.
The Roam 7 is designed to provide a convenient solution for connecting to the internet on the go. It allows users to take one internet connection and turn it into their own controlled network, whether they're in a hotel, at an airport, or anywhere else. This device supports Ethernet input, USB modems, and even using it as a range extender or wireless client, making it a versatile option for those who need to juggle multiple devices on unreliable networks.
The setup process is straightforward through the TP-Link Tether app, which allows users to scan a QR code, choose their connection type, and be online in a few minutes. On the hardware side, the Roam 7 features a 2.5 Gbps WAN port, a 1 Gbps LAN port, and a USB 3.0 port for storage or tethering. It also runs on 5V/3A power over USB-C, making it practical for travel or outdoor use.
While the Roam 7 is a convenient option for travel, it's not the best choice for a permanent home network. Even with Wi-Fi 7, it doesn't deliver the same coverage or sustained speeds as a larger router. However, for those who travel often or need a portable network hub for multiple devices, the Roam 7 holds up pretty well.
The Roam 7 is available for purchase at Amazon for $89.99, with a savings of $40.00 compared to its original price of $129.99.
