Recent updates may have expanded access to feature(s) discussed in this FAQ. Visit your product's support page, select the correct hardware version for your device, and check either the Datasheet or the firmware section for the latest improvements added to your product. Please note that product availability varies by region, and certain models may not be available in your region.
The free license period begins on the date that the router is installed and connected to the Internet.
The HomeCare™ function provided by Trend Micro has previously announced that the feature has only a three-year free trial period. Recently, the free trial period of some models has reached three years. After internal discussions, we decided to provide the existing HomeCare™ function for free, with no additional cost for users. The existing HomeCare™ mainly includes Antivirus, Parental Control, and Qos. TP-Link reserves the right to modify the service and feature at any time. Please refer to the link for more details.
