Comment:
Anything you need is right here. Wonderful Variety. Superb Cost. NoneJust make confident you upgrade the firmware before you do anything with the router to steer clear of any troubles with the older versions. I didn't require a router with N capability and didn't want to spend a lot of funds. You could devote a lot more and have more configuration alternatives or go open supply but for a standard home installation it's fully unnecessary, this unit will do just fine.

Comment:
Straightforward to set up, very good variety. I just used the web setup. You won't beat the sale value. Properly, following a coupla years it stared getting flaky and unreliable, but that has been my knowledge with Each router I've ever owned, like Linsys stuff. Set up the firmware update Prior to configuring it. New firmware wipes out your settings. (Duh, like I couldn't have figured that out...)

Comment:
Operates as advertised. Wired and wireless routing works fine, WPA2 on wireless AP also strong. Wireless customers frequently got dropped randomly until I applied the firmware update available on TP-Link's website. No other modifications had been created and it functions fine now.Other reviewers have noted that WPA/WPA2 does not perform in bridging mode but that's not something most individuals which includes myself use.

Fantastic variety for a basic router! Works out of the box, just plug in the cables and WHAMMO! You've got wireless internet. It has typical, simple to follow, setup for network security or port forwarding. Great bang for the buck solution. I've bought 8 and sold or setup with no issues. Obtaining an additional bunch since the sold so well. TP? Toilet Paper Hyperlink? Hmmm.... Not a cr@ppy wireless router, at all! Just obtain it already!

Rapid set-up. No issue with Wi-Fi signal; outstanding connections all through the property. None

Effortless to configure, a lot of selections to customize safety, forwarding, etc. By no means has problems with freeze-ups (leave that to my cable modem...).This is the third of these I've bought -- this one particular for a friend. Set it up for her no challenge, they've Never ever had troubles with it going offline or otherwise messing up.I don't know what TP-Link does, and I don't care. These items are reputable and easy to use out-of-box. Wonderful for shoppers of nearly any type.And the value is correct! Get this thing when it's on sale, if you can. Occasionally it winds up getting 1Ǚ or much less of the cost of any comparable competitor -- and it's just as great, if not superior, than "name brands." These are not "cons" mainly because you really should read and comprehend that you get what you pay for in a solution like this:No wireless n. Do they make a model with n? I assume they do, but it will price much more. I do not have any wireless n systems, so I get the inexpensive a single -- this one.Range is good, but not spectacular. Don't expect to get wireless via ten feet of concrete or x-ray shielding. It's not a death ray, it's a wireless signal from a tiny router. If you will need large variety, I consider TP-hyperlink tends to make a monster with three antennae and far better variety. Or possibly there is 1 with a connection for your personal antenna.Just, you know, do the buying. Get this if it's what you want. These aren't actually cons, so my 5 egg rating stands. It's fairly.Comes with screws for mounting onto wall, shelf, cat, etc.

I only paid ษ for this, and it was the ideal ษ I've spent in a lengthy time. Wonderful variety, quick boot-up, user-friendly GUI, easy reset, lots of features I'll by no means use...Extremely advisable. I feel poor for these who received DOA, but I think most instances of dissatisfaction are caused by user fault...not the router.This is my initial router (wireless or otherwise) EVER. Doesn't have dual-band or wireless-N, but what do you count on for ษ? It does have a couple of minor annoyances, one becoming that my router keeps falling off the stand (which isn't really required anyway, but I think it looks cool). Anyway, it ought to have some sort of adhesive or lock to hold it in place. But once more, I shouldn't expect also a lot for ษ. What I was really aiming for was a wireless repeater.Generally, I have a AP that I log onto by means of my wireless adapter for the Net...no WAN wires or DSL cables. I only get 3 bars of signal from one particular room, and across the home I get definitely zero.I bought this in hopes that I could connect it to the exact same laptop that is wirelessly connected to the AP (which btw is far out of variety for Ethernet cables), then relay the signal to the rest of the house and have my other computers be able to log onto the Online.Nicely, I got it to work but only after six hours of Google and messing with the network settings. Generally, I had to disable the DHCP server on the TP-Link router, generate/enable a WLAN network on it, then bridge that connection to the other wireless connection I had access to. Then, when I log onto the WLAN network on the TP-Link router, it funnels the Net from the other AP through the bridge. I guess I did it correct...I don't know...but I do know it operates.

This point offers a wireless network that includes all three stories of my home and a detached guest residence. Men and women remain in the guest house and have a low signal, but seldom encounter a drop out. 1-2 packets lost per 1000 pings on the computer system in the guest residence.(after 1 year of use.) SPI firewall is OFF by default. You have to manually turn on. The setup software that came with this is HORRIBLE. Just don't use it, it will result in a headache. Use a search engine on how to setup this router manually and follow the tutorials, it's less difficult and more straight forward. This replaced a 贄 Wireless Gaming Router from a superior recognized corporation that quit following 6 months and stated corporation would not replace it, I will no longer buy items from their residential side. I purchased this to hold me over till I could afford some thing better...now I don't strategy on replacing it. Manufacturer Response:Dear Buyer,Thank you for your assessment.Essentially, the SPI firewall is enabled by default on all TP-Hyperlink router items.And there is no choice on the router to turn it off.The enclosed Effortless Setup Assistant is intended to support customers to set up the router in an easier way.

Performs good out of the box. Each wired and wireless connection quickly and trusted. ugly UI, not a large problem. Installation CD did not operate for me (Windows 7 64 bit), but I did not require it to get router to work anyways.

Comment:
Simple installation and configuration; robust signal strength; great alternative for the property Still looking for 1 but I'm positive it's there This is certainly a "Best Bang for the Buck" item. If you don't have 802.11n capability, this is my initially alternative for home customers. A fantastic choice for tiny business, as well; but lacking some functions most enterprise level organizations demand.Signal strength exceeds the functionality of my old Westell wireless router.

Easy interface. Effortless to use and set up. Affordable. Died after eight months. Attempted to get a replacement via the manufacturer. Right after more than an hour of troubleshooting with client service who barely spoke English, they told me to make contact with Newegg for a replacement. I've been working with Newegg for a week to get this sorted out and nevertheless haven't gotten anyplace. It was a cheap router but I stupidly purchased the extended warranty and it hasn't made it lengthy sufficient for that to be worth even though. Invest cash on a more costly, much better top quality, identified manufacturer's router. I set my mom up with a Linksys five years ago and it's nevertheless operating. Manufacturer Response:Hello,Please contact me directly at vernon.tan@tp-link.com. If you have not been capable to arrange for a replacement but, I will be in a position to take care of it personally.Finest Regards

No complaints. Very low-cost and worked fantastic out of the box with no main difficulties. Utilised for modest apartment and no range concerns. Utilizing none of the functions so can't comment on more exotic application. Plug saving power adapter is bonus. Low cost plastic housing, probably won't take a lot abuse, but it's to be expected at this value level.

Comment:
Good and modest good range straightforward to use gui, new firmware is great. Have eight prospects employing these with no troubles. Nada Retain up the good operate.

It works rather well and the price tag can't be beat. I haven't had any troubles so far. I purchased this router about two years ago. It had a handful of fantastic ratings and was selling for ~ฤ less than other models so I gave it a shot. It hasn't given me any difficulty at all and is pretty straightforward to configure if you're tricky wired in and know what you're performing. I've owned a Linksys and two Netgear wireless routers (all in the ุ-โ range) and they've all worked fine for a whilst but would sooner or later begin failing and die after a couple of months. This 1 is still going strong virtually two years later.

A breeze to setupSolid connectionsTorrents don't make it overheat It was out of stock the first time I ordered. This is an brilliant small router at an even much better price tag. I can't think I didn't see it sooner. Soon after my Belkin router started out to show signs of retirement, I found the TP-Link. If you've ever setup a router this is a breeze, and it has some fairly great capabilities like QOS not generally identified in a router inside this value range. Forget the CD, web into the router and set it up by the uncomplicated interface. Make confident you have the most current firmware and you're off. I was possessing to reboot my old router about every other day to maintain a wireless signal. This router has been installed for about a month and not a single concern. Get it, prior to it's gone.

Affordable with excellent coverage. None so far. Bought this to use with my xbox. I've never ever utilised a wireless router ahead of and was a bit nervous about the set up and how/if it would operate. Nicely, I'm delighted with this purchase. It was so easy to set up this router, I was carried out inside ten-15 minutes. I utilized the enclosed CD for setup. The router is on my Computer upstairs and the xbox is downstairs and when I turned on the xbox it discovered the wireless immediately and there have been no connection challenges at all so far. Much better and easier than I anticipated for the price. As usual the delivery was really fast from newegg. Encouraged.

Incredibly simple set up if you have a small tech understanding. As soon as installed it works beautifully. Particularly, I used this specific router to connect my Netflix by means of to my WII. It took approx ten min and now I watch unlimited Netflix movies on my Tv rather of waiting for the films to arrive in the mail (which is diff from the instant view titles they have) The install directions might appear contradictory as far as whether to run set up disk first or set up router initial then run disk. I ran disk first and followed on screen prompts and then installed router and that worked for me perfectly. I by no means could comprehend why Newegg would pick DHL/USmail every now and then with their totally free shipping provides when I have ordered multiple items at once (all free of charge shipping) and all shipped from their New Jersey warehouse. The UPS products often arrive Much faster. Please don't misunderstand this as criticism just simply asking yourself.

Set up was straightforward and rapid. Operates properly for what it was bought for. Range is very good in a tiny cottage. None so far, working well - But it is nevertheless new. This is just a bit of a pet peave, the safety set up directions and access are located Following the troubleshooting section of the booklet; in the back. I just assume the security section must have been place right right after the set up - then the troubleshooting section.

For a low-finish router, this cannot be beat. Straightforward set up. Covers my three,000 sq.ft. property with quite very good signal, superior than my final G router. So far, not a single dropped connection soon after about three months of steady use. Also, it has tiny physical footprint when stood up on its finish. The WDS "bridging" function is sparsely documented, and doesn't seem to operate with other brands of routers, if at all. The stand for obtaining it sit upright doesn't fit just proper...and is a small loose. I am plannnig to try to buy one more TP-link to see if the WDS works in between the similar brand.

Comment:
When up and running it works incredibly nicely. Connects reliably and very good signal everywhere in my little home. So far there are no unexpected connectivity drops with either streaming films or general browsing. The straightforward install wizard was troublesome on Windows7, but at least there is a pretty very good TP-Link website with help links. Newegg shipping was wonderful as usual. I set the TP-Link up incredibly very easily employing a personal computer with XP Pro OS because I was having difficulty with the setup employing Windows7. It now works properly with any wireless G capable computer in the property.

Comment:
Fantastic price tag! Super effortless to set up! Wireless range is outstanding! I get complete signal about fifty feet away by way of 4 walls and a floor with metal beams in it. Setup was so effortless I set it up following the Spanish manual just for enjoyable (and I can't speak Spanish). It lacks gigabit LAN and wireless N help. When I look at the unfavorable testimonials of a router it seems most of them can be tossed out since the assessment writer doesn't know what they're speaking about.Now I just need to have to see how reputable it will be.

Required a inexpensive router to get wireless throughout the home with ADSL. This does the Job.Running win.XP sp3Set up was uncomplicated, used the CD for a safe connection orJust plug-n-play with no security My neighbor even picks up 2 bars or much more based on the angle.Like generally Newegg rocks :-) NONE This was my 1st wireless router, on the other hand at operate we have a Linkless(sys) G with cable and shed connection at least when a week.Need to position correct for the angle...i.e.; if going by way of a 8in. wall straight on and you angle the router wrong the wall could be become 6ft. or a lot more and connection could be poor. Attempt to come across a good direct angle

Quickly, low-cost, in a position to flawlessly handle heavy simultaneous site visitors and doesn't require continuous reboots. The vertical stand is certainly worthless. It feels like it was originally produced for a diverse item and TP-Link just decided to toss it in with this router because it sorta worked. This isn't adequate to knock off an egg even though. I purchased this due to the fact my prior router of a reputable major brand was giving me a lot of trouble. It would call for continuous reboots in particular when wired and wireless connections had been getting used simultaneously. I was also under no circumstances capable to reach my highest download speed on a wired connection with my old router. I decided to go with this model simply because it was inexpensive and I liked what I read in the critiques and boy am I glad I did. This factor is amazing, by far the ideal router I've ever owned. My max speed in uTorrent has gone way up from 1.7MB/s to 2.8MB/s. Downloads from Xbox Live and PSN are also noticeably more quickly. Even with various devices all working with the connection at the identical time (even numerous Netflix streams at after), almost everything is routed properly with no slowdown. The wireless signal strength is also way greater than my old router.But the factor I adore the most abut this router is that I've owned it for over 2 months now and I have but to reboot it. TP-Link is created of win

It looks kinda pretty. Initially responsive, but about halfway by way of the setup procedure it froze up, all lights solid, fully non-responsive. Attempts at reset failed. Called TP-Link tech support three instances simply because at very first I thought I had the wrong quantity - tech help answered the phone straight with no intro or greeting, and was extremely hard to realize. They had difficulty understanding my challenge, and following 20 minutes of them generating me test my ethernet cables they confirmed it was a hardware failure. As unhelpful as TP-Link's tech help was, NewEgg's RMA assistance & buyer service was outstanding as usual, which includes waiving the restocking fee for the return. Thanks NewEgg! Boo TP-Link! Manufacturer Response:Dear Consumer,Thank you quite considerably for your evaluation.We are sorry for the inconvenience triggered. This could probably be a failure of power adapter. We will send you a new unit as soon as we get your returned item from the dealer.Thank you for your suggestion to our assistance hotline.
