TP-Link Corporation Limited 030122-15 Request for Confidentiality Date: July 20, 2022 Subject: Confidentiality Request for: 2AXJ4AX73V2 Pursuant to FCC 47 CFR 0.457(d) and 0.459 and IC RSP-100, Section 12.4, the applicant requests that a part of the subject FCC application be held confidential. Type of Confidentiality Requested Exhibit ☐ Short Term ☒ Permanent Block Diagrams ☐ Short Term External Photos ☐ Short Term ☐ Permanent * 1 Internal Photos ☐ Short Term ☒ Permanent Operation Description/Theory of Operation ☐ Short Term ☐ Permanent Parts List & Placement/BOM ☐ Short Term ☐ Permanent Tune-Up Procedure ☐ Short Term ☒ Permanent Schematics ☐ Short Term Test Setup Photos ☐ Short Term ☐ Permanent * 3 User’s Manual TP-Link Corporation Limited has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship. Permanent Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public review due to materials that contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public. Short-Term Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of ___(specify number of days not to exceed 180) 2 ___ days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing. This is to avoid premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public. Applicant is also aware that they are responsible to notify ACB in the event information regarding the product or the product is made available to the public before the requested period has expired. ACB will then release the documents listed above for public disclosure pursuant to FCC Public Notice DA 04-1705. NOTE for Industry Canada Applications: IC currently only distinguishes Permanent Confidentiality exhibits as shown above. Short Term confidentiality is not considered applicable to IC applications. Sincerely, By: Regulatory Compliance Manager Sarah Wang (Signature/Title 3 ) (Print name) 1 - The asterisked items (*) require further information to be provided to ACB before permanent confidentiality will be extended to these exhibits. Please refer to FCC KDB 726920 and the specific Document link for D01 found at: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/forms/FTSSearchResultPage.cfm?switch=P&id=41731 and review section II, 3) regarding specific information that must accompany these requests. 2 - Please refer to https://acbcert.com/documents/misc-docs/Memo-Short-Term-Vs-Standard-Confidentiality.pdf for complete details. 3 - Must be signed by applicant contact given for applicant on the FCC site, or by the authorized agent if an appropriate authorized agent letter has been provided. Letters should be placed on appropriate letterhead.

Non-SDR (Software Defined Radio) Cover Letter Date: 2022-07-15 Refer to KDB 442812 D01 SDR apps Guide v02r03. The following six questions can be used for determining if a radio can elect to be, or must be an SDR. 1. Can the RF parameters of the device be altered through software? □Yes - go to 2. No, not an SDR 2. Can third parties not permitted by the Commission through specific filings modify, configure, or load different software, or make configuration settings to operate the device or host hardware radio frequency parameters (frequency range, modulation type, maximum output power or other radio parameters) in any other way than granted (or expected to be granted)? □Yes, must be an SDR. □No - go to 3. 3. Is the device capable of operating in any other way than granted, or will be, granted? □Yes, - go to 4. □No - go to 5. 4. Is this a Part 15 client Device as defined in Section 15.202 (as opposed to a master device)? □Yes, qualifies as a part 15 client devices - go to 5. □No, must be an SDR. 5. Does the manufacturer elect SDR? □Yes, elects to be an SDR. □No, Not an SDR Final conclusion: According to the above questions reply, we can confirm this AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Router (FCC ID: 2AXJ4AX73V2) must be a Non- SDR.

For power measurements, Array Gain=0dB (N ANT ≤4), so the Directional gain=2 dBi. For power spectral density measurements, N ANT =2, N SS = 1. So the Directional gain=G ANT +Array Gain=G ANT +10log(N ANT / N SS )dBi= 2+10log(2/1)dBi=5.01 dBi. 2) Beamforming Gain: 3 dB. So the Directional gain=3+2=5 dBi. 3) The antenna gain and beamforming gain are provided by the manufacturer.

For power measurements, Array Gain=0dB (N ANT ≤4), so the UNII-1 Directional gain=1.95 dBi, the UNII-2A Directional gain=1.76 dBi, the UNII-2C Directional gain=2.50 dBi, the UNII-3 Directional gain=2.38 dBi. For power spectral density measurements, N ANT =4, N SS = 1. Then, the Directional gain=G ANT +Array Gain=G ANT +10log(N ANT / N SS )dBi. So, For UNII-1: The Directional gain=1.95+10log(4/1)dBi=7.97dBi. For UNII-2A: The Directional gain=1.76+10log(4/1)dBi=7.78dBi. For UNII-2C: The UNII-2C Directional gain=2.50+10log(4/1)dBi=8.52dBi. For UNII-3: The UNII-3 Di rectional gain =2.38+10log(4/1)dBi=8.40dBi. 2) Beamforming Gain: 6dB. Then, For UNII-1: The Directional gain=6+1.95=7.95dBi. For UNII-2A: The Directional gain=6+1.76=7.76dBi. For UNII-2C: The Directional gain=6+2.50=8.50dBi. For UNII-3: The Directional gain=6+2.38=8.38dBi. 3) The antenna gain and beamforming gain are provided by the manufacturer.
