Comment:
I bought this router back in may well of 2009 and it hasn't failed when however. I left this router at my parents property for them to use when I moved away and its nevertheless operating fantastic. The range is astounding. My parents reside on a culdesac across from a park and i choose up the signal in the park and hop online. I have a Wireless N linksys at my current home and it offers less range and is slower to connect. Also with the linksys wireless N i can only get a 64Mbps connection out of it. This router is amazing i have currently suggested to my pals who have had excellent success with it as well! I have by no means had to reset it or turn it off in anyway, it doesn't get hot ever and is wonderful for a wireless G with wonderful range! The setup is a tiny more advanced and not as easy as the much more well-known linksys, belkin and d-link routers, but i still identified it pretty intuitive and effortless. none! Fantastic router! if you need a new router for low-cost i advise this one particular to you!

Nice looking router, blends in well with the space. Powerful signal strength, each get and transmit enabling for wonderful range and rapid downloads. Performs good when connected wired. Resets quickly when altering settings.Good price The MAC filtering option in the router's log in does not display the MAC address of all wireless attached devices. This suggests that to setup the filter you have to kind in the MAC address for every device.For some reason I'm getting intermittent connectivity issues when the channel number is set to 1 or 11 but operates fantastic on channel six. Not sure if it's interference from the neighbor's wireless routers or my cordless phone or a combination of both that causes the challenge on individuals channel numbers. I'll have to attempt it one more time . Also it functions fine when the channel quantity is set to Automatic.

For the value, you can't beat it. I have had this router for about a year now and use it everday as I function from property. I have by no means run into any troubles. I also run my xBox 360 wireless off this router to play Halo and have never had any difficulty there either. None

Quite Easy set upWorks and looks wonderful! I am struggling with a single computer to get it to operate but IPAD and new personal computer have no troubles Cant go incorrect!! I assume its more quickly then my d link G

Comment:
Of program the cost but I haven't had a single problem with it at all. It has never ever frozen on me or something. When I very first set it up there was a conflict among the Cable modem IP and the router IP but following I went on the website and located directions to fix worked good.

Extremely Easy to set up none You can tell that this was not native to the English language.

It works. None

Just like all the other critiques, ideal out of the box and BANG! My LINKSYS ought to be burned out or one thing because this cheap replacement just earned a extremely respected spot on my wall. I did nevertheless, use the mini cd to run the initially setup and I had to have my cable company reset my modem (because I didn't). Took about 8 minutes to have anything (wireless connections also) going full speed! Operation wise none but I feel in a dark space I'm going to have to cover the lights that are flashing (at least till Christmas).

pretty economical, no excessive heat, stable, uncomplicated setup. nothing at all main but the little stand isn't precisely a perfect fit so I use it for my DSL modem as an alternative. got rid of my encore router, had to reset it ten-15 instances a day. have been making use of this for just about 2 weeks without a single reset. it does specifically what i will need it to do. arrived a day early, thanks newegg. I really like it.

This is a great router! It has an straightforward interface and isn't complex to navigate through. If I ever had the need, I would obtain this once again. It's especially easy to use port forwarding on this router. It's not genuinely a major con and the biggest issue was truly my stupidity. With Comcast, you do have to go in a modify a setting. If you comprehend the directions to do so, you'll be fine. However, the instructions I found on the web were a bit confusing, but after I identified what I was supposed to do, I was like, "Duh! That was so easy!" Immediately after possessing Qwest with an Actiontec router for years, we got this and really like it! It is simple to use and has wonderful range.

- Stable and quickly wireless link- Fantastic signal strength- Impressively rapidly reboot: only 10 sec- IP QoS feature: fantastic for P2P users- Comes with a stand: standing up just looks awesome No 802.11n, doesn't come with an additional antenna for free I decided to bought this mainly because of its 75%+ five-star evaluation rating, and it turns out that the review is trustworthy. Highly recommend this item!

Seems very good excellent for the price tag. Extremely configurable. Excellent range. Some of the menu items in the config are unnecessarily confusing. Employing a single as an access point and it is working flawlessly with good range.

Operates good, does not crash (like my old Microsoft wireless router), no unexplained disconnections. Has tons of configurable selections.The most up-to-date firmware has a feature to automatically choose a channel! This is really handy in a neighborhood with lots of access points competing on the identical frequencies. Make certain you update the firmware prior to altering any settings! I created the mistake of configuring every thing before discovering there was a firmware update accessible. Updating wiped my settings clean. Minus one particular egg for not shipping w/ latest firmware.Also at times the responsiveness of the web interface is really slow. I feel it is rebooting upon some settings changes. A minor nuisance thinking about you will most likely only transform these settings when. Good router, specially if you just want anything that works but don't care about the hubbub of placing open-source firmware on a device.I got mine on sale from Newegg for ษ w/ shipping. Not sure it is worth โ when compared to the competition.

Comment:
The one region I don't feel entirely competent about computing is networking. This setup took me ten minutes at most. Anybody can configure this wireless router. What a pleasant surprise. And, of course it arrived in 36 hrs from Newegg. none I also purchased a Rosewill usb network adapter with this and it operates perfectly as effectively. Not a single difficulty with either device.

Comment:
i really like this router.inexpensive, function soon as out of box.no need install drive(my vista know it right away) only 54m speed. if you need additional stronger, and more rapidly, get other.. (rosewell expense 30 bucks, with 150m speed) otherwise, this is great/small/easy to install router.

Comment:
Had been flawless prior to dilemma began displaying Bought two, one started out showing dilemma (the router would suddenly disappear soon after several hours of usage) three months soon after the obtain. Have to give it a lot more underneath airflow

Comment:
Simple SetupFast ResponseGood CostWireless signal is really powerful and consistent. Absolutely nothing main. Perhaps the power cord is a tiny shorter then I expected. I plugged this in and was in a position to setup the router in a minutes. It's been up and operating for about a week with no problems whatsoever.

Comment:
Set up and worked fine. Far better signal strength and speed for my 802.11G wifi adapter than the flaky Netgear WNR-2000 that it replaced. Modest, boots and is offered in beneath 10 seconds. Adjustable antenna is good at this low value. It's not 802.11N. UPnP is disabled by default. The router have to be configured more than the wired interface unlike some wireless routers I've utilized. There's a silly sticker covering the ethernet ports that says "Please Run the CD Initial".

Comment:
I've had no connection drops or slowdowns as far as I can tell. Connected to a Roadrunner cable connection and can play WoW and LoTRO flawlessly on two PCs at the very same time. I didn't acquire one sooner? You may need to have wireless N if you do LAN games exactly where there is more data being tranferred but the common MMO games don't use that considerably bandwidth.

Comment:
Effortless setup, great functions, good signal strength. It crashes every week or so, and I have to power cycle it to get it to come back. This is particularly frustrating because it's precisely the cause I purchased it -- to replace an old router that crashes!When it crashes, you will be unable to get a wifi connection or connect to it straight with an ethernet cable. You cannot access its internet admin page. I can connect directly to my ISP modem and reach the web, for that reason the ISP is not to blame.Tried emailing TP-Link client service. They responded promptly and CCed about 15 folks (the developers?). But it was never ever resolved. Right after possessing me test all of the items I reported above, they simply asked me to send them the syslog, but the instructions they gave for retrieving the log did not exist.BTW, I had upgraded to the most up-to-date firmware. Too negative it crashes. Otherwise I'd be one hundred% happy with it. I specifically like the automatic channel choice function so I don't have to worry about which channels all my crazy neighbors have chosen.

Strong for its price Simply does not function in Client Mode [Wifi Client Bridge]. The mode is supported, and documented, but does not work as documented. Tech Help is worthless, disagreed with manual, did not know how to configure, security is big problem in Client/Bridge mode. Fail. go elsewhere for bridging Manufacturer Response:Dear Buyer, thank you for your assessment.This need to be a misunderstanding. TL-WR541G and TL-WR542G each do not have AP Client mode, but they support wireless bridge mode:http://www.tp-link.com/support/showfaq.asp?id᠞To develop wireless bridge on TL-WR541G, you ought to add the their wireless MAC addresses mutualy on each other, which indicates the other router must support the same bridge function. (The 11g router which has a pure client mode is TL-WR543G.)TP-Hyperlink 11n routers could meet your specifications, due to the fact on 11n routers, the wireless bridge characteristic is realized differently from 11g routers. On 11n routers, the WDS adopts virtual AP technologies, so when you do bridge, the virtual AP will act as a client to connect to your root router wirelessly:http://www.tp-link.com/support/showfaq.asp?id

functions fine, incredibly couple of wireless drop ummm can't consider of any at this point Bought two of them currently, both nevertheless working, since I don't need extended range wireless, this thing performs certainly excellent for the fundamental objective. I have not had the need to reset the router but. Not confident i would get for advanced setting, but for a single family and property use, you can't beat the price.

Comment:
Very straightforward to set-up. It only takes a few minutes and off you go. Extremely user friendly, a stark contrast to an old Linksys router I applied to have. The only issue I can believe of is that you need to stand it up just suitable or it may tip more than. The tiny baby-sized set up CD was cute.

Little, has a stand to keep upright. simple to navigate in webpage. Utilizes Vitual Servers as an alternative of Port Forwarding when you want to open ports. My setup has two 360s that are statically assigned ip addresses. I can only assign 3074 to 1 ip address. It will not except exact same # with one more ip address. As other routers have this potential.I read other reviews about this router acquiring warm. Yes it gets warm but, what router doesnt?

Comment:
The price tagThe styleOperates genuinely properly when it works Whenever I go to adjust any of the settings or even to just add a security key to it it just stops operating completely. The "Sys" button will stop blinking and just turn solid if I tamper with any of the setting in either the manual 192.168.1.1 way or the resource cd way. I have tried every thing to try and get it to perform with security but its just not happening sadly Im not certain if I want to send it back or just let it go with out security result in I am in an apartment complex and we all have the very same internet that the complex delivers.
