Router manufacturers have been looking for ways to make a new product stand out in the last years. With 802.11ad there is a new IEEE-standard that can be added to routers. TP-Link is the first manufacturer to do this. In this review we take a closer look at the Talon AD7200.

Aesthetically the Talon AD7200 is a lot like the Archer C3200 and the Archer C5400. It has the same (in our opinion) good looking square design, with antennae that fall into the device but of course are upright when it is used. As with the C5400 there are no less than eight antennae. The connectors are all at the back: four times lan, one time wan and two times usb 3.0. At the front we see three buttons: a wps-button, a button that allows you to turn the leds on and off and a button to turn wifi on and off. Furthermore there are a whole lot of leds here. Two of these are for the usb-connectors, one to indicate whether or not wps is active, one to show connectivity with the internet, one that indicates the presence of wired connections, a power led and three leds for the wireless connections.
