In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this TP-Link phone number is a direct line to a human being. The line is well-staffed and you should anticipate a very short wait on hold or none whatsoever, as long as you are calling during business hours.
We don't know of any phone menus you would encounter when calling either.
What are the hours and when should I call?
TP-Link operates the call center for this 866-225-8139 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 1,012 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the TP-Link call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this TP-Link phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like TP-Link staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call TP-Link is Saturday.The most busy day to call is Wednesday, which averages 75% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 1,012 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Tuesday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday, which is 1180% longer than the minimum.As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
In summation, the best day to call TP-Link is Tuesday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that TP-Link staffs up on Tuesday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
Once again, please put this information in perspective because this phone number has no phone menu or long waits. It generally gets picked up right away if calling during their opening hours. If there is any way, it will typically be very short.
Calling TP-Link provides a robust experience, but not one you can use unless you have a physical product in your hand. When I called the number, I was told that I'd have a moderate wait to get assistance, or I could go online and start up a live chat for help. I chose to wait, and after seven minutes, I was connected with a customer service representative.
He asked my name, phone number and email address so he could get back in touch with me, if necessary, and he asked if I was calling from the United States or Canada. I provided all of the requested information, and he then asked what kind of product I was calling about. I gave him the model, intending to ask a generic question about where I would need to set up the router in my home to maximize wireless internet coverage.
However, I never got a chance to ask, as he wouldn't proceed without getting the model number from me. After trying to bluff my way through with the product's full name and him again asking for the model number printed on the router, I ended the call, as it was clear I wouldn't be able to make further progress.
This interaction tells me that the phone number is intended only for higher-level technical support, not for basic questions that can usually be answered online via a live chat specialist. It's clear the company wants to push customers online for most ordinary queries, while saving their over-the-phone support for people who genuinely need step-by-step technical support.
Given the nature of TP-Link's business and its products, this approach makes sense. I do think it's a bit excessive to take down a lot of information before the customer ever gets a chance to ask a question, but given that tech support can be both esoteric and time-consuming, it makes sense to weed out those with lower-level problems so its tech experts can spend more time helping people who really need assistance.
Even though I wasn't able to get any help or product knowledge from this call, I did get a good sense of what this company is like and how much it prizes detailed customer service for people who have actually purchased a product from them. If I were an actual customer of TP-Link, I'd only use this line if I needed specific tech support, but I would feel comfortable calling it to get that assistance, if necessary.

For Mac users, a macOS version 10.9 or later is advised, along with at least 1GB of RAM and a compatible network adapter. TP-Link software may also require a certain amount of available storage space depending on the specific application. It is recommended to check the product's documentation or visit TP-Link's website for the detailed system requirements of the particular software you intend to use.
