TP-Link Wireless Router

TP-Link is a dominant global provider of networking products and smart home devices. Originally founded in Shenzhen, China, in 1996 by brothers Zhao Jianjun and Zhao Jiaxing, the company has grown from a local manufacturer of network cards to a worldwide leader in Wi-Fi solutions.

In recent years, the brand has undergone a strategic restructuring to separate its international operations from its Chinese business. This led to the establishment of TP-Link Systems Inc., which is headquartered in Irvine, California, and serves as the global parent company for markets outside mainland China. While a significant portion of manufacturing remains centered in China, the company has expanded its production footprint to Vietnam to ensure supply chain resilience and security.

Today, TP-Link operates in over 170 countries, offering a diverse portfolio that includes consumer routers, mesh systems, and the Tapo smart home ecosystem. The brand is currently owned by TP-Link Systems Inc., maintaining a high level of control over its design and manufacturing processes to serve both consumer and enterprise markets globally.
