# tplinkrouter Binding
The tplinkrouter Binding allows monitoring and controlling TP-Link routers.
The binding uses a telnet connection to communicate with the router.
At the moment only wifi part is supported and TD-W9970
is the only model tested.
This binding may work with other TP-Link router provided that they use the same telnet API.
