Limited Warranty

TP-Link USA Corp. (“TP-Link USA”) provides a limited warranty on all eligible TP-Link products purchased in the United States. The limited warranty covers failures due to defects in material or workmanship on devices, antennas and accessories*. Packaging, software products and technical data are not covered under the limited warranty. The limited warranty starts from the original data of purchase and is only applicable to the original purchaser of the product. Proof of purchase and a complete product serial number are required to receive any services guaranteed as part of the limited warranty.

The limited warranty does not apply to refurbished products or products that were resold by unauthorized resellers. For TP-Link Refurbished Product Warranty Policy, please visit http://www.tp-link.com/us/support/refurbished/

TP-Link USA’s limited product warranty does not provide refunds, returns or exchanges under most conditions. Product(s) replaced under the limited warranty will be replaced with factory refurbished product(s). If the defective product(s) are discontinued, end of life, or out of stock, TP-Link will issue a replacement with product(s) of equivalent value or features. We will attempt equivalent features before equivalent value. Brand new product(s) may also be used as a replacement in some cases.  Product warranty periods do not renew with replacement units. The original purchase date and warranty period will apply to replacement products

Please Note:

  • TP-Link USA may reject or return product(s) returned without accessories or an assigned case number.
  • If proof of purchase can't be provided, a warranty period start date may be assigned by TP-Link.
  • The three digits that make up the second to fourth digits of the Serial Number (SN) represent the manufacturing date (year and month). For example, a product with SN: 2171XXXXXXXXX, "171" represents the year of 2017 (17) and month of January (1). "17A" represents the year of 2017 (17) and month of October (A). (B) represents the month of November and (C) represents the month of December. The warranty period ends on the last day of the corresponding month.
    Note: For products manufactured before 2014, the first three digits of the Serial Number (SN) represent the manufacturing date (year and month), for example SN: 14AXXXXXXXXXX.
  • Customers who choose Advanced RMA will receive a pre-paid return label with the replacement to ship the defective product back to TP-Link USA Customer Service Center. Customers who choose Standard RMA are responsible for the shipping fee associated with returning of the defective product(s) to TP-Link USA Customer Service Center.
  • Advanced shipping times only apply to the transit of the replacement.  All RMAs regardless of chosen method are subject to a processing period of up to 3 to 5 business days. Chosen method of delivery will be applied once the product has shipped.
  • TP-Link USA is not responsible for any damages that may occur during shipping.
  • TP-Link USA has no obligation to replace any products that are no longer covered under warranty. If TP-Link USA, in its sole and absolute discretion, chooses to replace your product that is not covered by warranty, TP-Link USA may charge a service fee.
