Thank you for signing up to be a TP-Link beta tester!

The TP-Link beta project is one of the methods TP-Link uses to test the quality and user experience of our products before we bring a product launch to market.
Our beta tests will assess the new networking & smart home products from TP-Link, Kasa and Tapo. 

Incentives

• You may keep the sample product for free after the testing period ends. However, you may need to return the product if it requires debugging or if any issues that could impact the user experience after the test period.  
• You will get to preview new products before their release and contribute to their release.
• You will interact with other beta testers during the beta projects. 
• You can earn points to become one of our core testers, increaseing the chances that you get selected for future projects, and free gifts from TP-Link.

If there is no "Invited" button on an event, it indicates that the registration time has expired or project has no more room for participants.

Please note that the number of applicants will often be more than the actual number of participants. We will make a selection based on the following principles:

• Your Points - Tester enthusiasm is the most important guarantee of tester selection. For now, we will measure your participation and enthusiasm for the beta testing by your accrued Points, methods of accruing points are discussed below.
• Information in your profile - Testing of a product should always cover as many user scenarios as possible, such as different geographies, ISPs, housing types, and devices. Professionals and Consumers alike are needed to provide different perspectives and points of view. 
• Special needs of the project - For example, if you've tested a TP-Link OneMesh Router, you're more likely to get seleted for a OneMesh Extender project.

When selected, we will notify you by email and send you a forum invitation.
