TP-LINK TL-WR541G 54Mbps Wireless Router with 4-Port Switch New

Comment:
This router operates straight out of the box. Its rapid and successful. The connection is very dependable. It's not N-Draft but hey the residence is tiny so I am not complaining. I bought it for 24.99 from newegg which is a good deal. The router have bandwidth control (IP QoS) so you can set which pc can have much more bandwidth and which will have less. You can also specify exactly how significantly. For my four property computers I split the bandwidth 4 way total of 256K per laptop or computer so one laptop or computer can't take all the World wide web speed in 1.2 MB Web line. The Statistics allows you to see which laptop used up all the bandwidth etc.Virtual Servers section allows you to very easily specify port ranges which my earlier ๑ dollar N-Draft router didn't.I never ever bothered with the Rapid Setup section given that setting up this router was quite user friendly and straightforward. It supports "Bridges" so in the future if I invest in yet another router, I can use this as a bridge. You can allow all the firewall settings but you ought to not enable "Enable TCP-SYN-FLOOD Attack Filtering" because if you do then none of the wireless devices (laptop) can connect properly (you will get limited connection only).Dynamic DNS don't have no-ip.com which I use :(The CD that comes with this is useless. Please toss it and just goto 192.168.1.1 and enter the user name and the password that comes with this manual. The rest is really straightforward as you see how uncomplicated the graphical user interface interface (GUI) is. Have to update the firmware simply because the new firmware have auto scan channels and chooses the very best 1 that does not interfere with any other channel. Also it fixes some GUI bugs. This version (or at least the a single I have) is 7.xx so on the web site you need to have to pick TL-WE541G [V.7].For gamers I would not recommend this router (get N-Draft). For everyone else with typical to modest house size I suggest this router.My friend mentioned to me this router does not freeze due to the fact it has the main factors that you want and it disregards additional issues which folks usually don't use so it does not heat up and freeze.

Just works nicely, easy to set up, and dirt inexpensive. Like each other household router I ever owned, this 1 got flaky following a year or two. Right here's the deal: house wireless routers JUST DIE. You are doing fantastic to get two years out of them. So acquiring them low-cost counts. In truth, I just bought my second 1 of these since the 1st ultimately got wonky; I'm seriously thinking that at ษ, I really should order a different 1 appropriate now while I can nevertheless get that value and stick it on the shelf for, oh, about 2012 when the 1 I just installed tanks.

I have been operating this router for about six weeks now and have by no means rebooted it yet. Good range, covers just about every space of an 10 space home. As lengthy as you are employing it just to connect to the internet, listen to net music, web video and surf, it functions like a champ. The installation was not as basic as it could have been. I tried everything but for some reason it just would not connect, it turns out there was a conflict with addressing and I had to modify the address of the router to 192.168.1.2. Problem solved. I would not have identified how to fix the dilemma if I had not visited their page. http://www.tp-link.com/support/faq.asp. That info ought to have been forcefully reminded on their mini disk and in their software as I am sure I am not the only a single this is happened to considering that my laptop is true fundamental.There appears to be a strange issue exactly where if I go into Sleep mode on my Windows laptop, I lose the connection, but all I have to do is reboot my laptop to get it back. This issue does NOT occur if I hibernate the laptop, so I am questioning is this a Windows problem.

To say the least, I am positively stunned at the performance of this wireless G router. I only needed a router that went a tiny distance, say one particular that covers the room or just beyond that. Not only does this cover the whole residence but i can walk a handful of houses down the block and still keep a very good signal. In truth, walking my laptop down the block I was still in a position to connect 3 properties down. The setup is incredibly easy. I really like the internet based setup. The price tag is certainly unbelievable. The look is striking, (as much as a router's look can be). The footprint with the included stand is incredibly modest. Setup was a walk in the park. You don't even need the cd; the internet based interface does almost everything you want it to do. I like the web based interface greater than what I've observed from Linksys, Netgear or Dlink. Remarkably quickly throughput. Has even more further attributes such as bridging. Extremely straight forward getting started manual for those who want it. None for me. Newegg has surely identified a winner with TP-Link as far as I'm concerned.

affordable, uncomplicated, just functions the small stand to keep it upright rather of lying flat didn't fit correct. it's a little too loose to use so it is becoming applied flat. don't know if it was mfg defect or production line modify, but it doesn't have enough weight to use it without working with some sort of shims (keeps falling more than). wanted to use it upright to assist with heat dissipation, but it hasn't overheated. following initial setup have been using for practically a month so far without having any intervention.

so far so superior, no drop signal, generally full strength. have not completed a range check however, but will do one day. quickly shipping by newegg! ordered it Monday, item arrived the subsequent day. believed it was a 3 day shipping but was surprised when the UPS guy came knocking on my door! had trouble setting up the first hour, but the detailed support page helped a lot, second hour, my apartment was fairly a lot wireless by way of-out! been good so far! upgrading the firmware was such a breeze! it now has automatic channel selector. I hope this router lasts me for yet another year or two. I will advocate this product to friends and of course telling them to get them from NEWEGG! did not ship with the upgraded firmware...had to upgrade the router firmware with the newest version from TP-Link web page. LED lights in front was pretty low-cost looking but no biggie. wonderful item! no second thoughts of upgrading to one more TP-LINK router in the future. Nearly half the price tag of branded routers, it does the job properly, even better! Last experience I had with Netgear, it generally drops its signal, none yet so far with this router!

Affordable, potent, simple to set up. 1st unit I bought failed in two months. This unit has already lasted pretty much as long as most brand L routers last me, at 1Ǚ the cost. The range is just great. It goes via three brick walls from my home to my shop, which is 50 feet away. I nonetheless get 3 bars in the shop, and zero dropouts. My high priced brand L's got 1 to 2 bars, and I was lucky to have a usable World wide web connection in my shop. If this 1 lasts a year or a lot more, I will be delighted. Check that. I'm already delighted.

Cost, Stability, ease of use. Looks nicer in person than in the pic.Speeds, connectivity, all very good stand is not so significantly a stand as it is a tray, so it can get dicey if you bump it, but we put ours behind the tv anyway so its by no means really in the line of fire.

I've employed quite a few wireless routers from Linksys to Cisco to dlink ect. Linksys died, Cisco costly, dlink not long range and or ultimately dies. This thing is rock solid! Quite a few configuration possibilities and the wireless connection is ROCK SOLID. No drops whatsoever. I have 6 wireless customers mixed with Wii, Blu-ray player, Windows and Linux clients and all connect flawlessly with WPA no troubles. Highly advocate this router over any name brand not only for price but for reliability and configuration flexibility. None whatsoever! They really should sell an additional model of this to enable numerous IP configuration. I have a number of static IP's and would love to run them by way of this device. Otherwise, if your on the fence because of the name recognition your missing out on a truly dayam great item!

Quite inexpensive and straightforward to setup. I purchased this router for a buddy so we can do teleconferencing from his dining room. Had no complications running Skype video and voice on a 54M connection. None.

Item set incredibly effortless by making use of Browser. Have had no difficulties since set up 7ብ. Unit replaced Belkin N that refused to perform immediately after Tel. Co changed modem IP with no noification. None Can't complain for the cost.

Simple Setup, just works! Nifty small router for such a low-cost price. For cable modems, plug it in and go, that's it! I'm hoping these have a "long life" I bought five of them, so far, so great. DSL connectivity can be a discomfort, for other people with DSL (AT&T), be confident to setup DSL modem in "bridge" mode. PPPoE. Buying routers three-four occasions the cost of this and not being as simple to setup as this....is just funny to me.

Comment:
I bought three of these and all are working flawlessly.I will stick with TP-Link for future purchases. None If you need a superior router for a very good price GO FOR IT

Comment:
Low-cost price in comparison to alternatives. Very good signal range. Very first item I received was dead on arrival - Newegg got me a replacement via the warranty. First TP Link item I've ever purchased - given that the item initial received was bunk, doesn't sit too properly with me as far as the brand is concerned. Will see how properly it does later on.

Comment:
I tested it at 650 meters in line of sight it will work fine but the second you can't see the router you loose connection This router can't go via walls, it will literally go about 10-20 meters if there is a wall in the way

This WiFi Router has often been pretty very good to me, as I've owned many in the past. The interface is decent, the connection speeds and range are exceptional, and the setup is easy. Connection speeds dropped to about 1.five-two.5 Mbps consistently on a 7 Mbps connection following 1 month of usage. Rebooting and updating the firmware didn't generate an improvement. Non-US Consumer Support. I referred to as TP-Link's USA Customer Service only to locate that I spent more time asking the tech to repeat himself because I couldn't understand him. Right after a frustrating 10 minutes, I ended the call and headed out to purchase a new WiFi Router. Manufacturer Response:Hi Derek,I apologize for the issue you've run into with the unit. The Tech Support get in touch with number for US customers is 866.225.8139, and the e-mail is at support.usa@tp-link.com. If they cannot solve the issue, we'll gladly process the RMA for you.Finest Regards

Low cost + high excellent + super uncomplicated setup... (after I setup the DSL modem appropriately).The router is perfect next to a PC monitor, behind a cordless phone, and subsequent to a printer, and right in front of a wall. I still get a wifi signal of ᄦ% in spite of all the probable interference.The router has not given me any issues or any dropped connections. I love it! None for the device.Minor stuff:The CD setup does not remind you to change the admin username/password for the router.I still needed to discover a bunch of points: how to enable IGMP (on the modem for compatibility with AT&T/Bellsouth DSL service), PPoE, bridging modems, and so on. I don't blame it on the manufacturer though. Although, the CD setup does not suggest bridging the modem for a DSL connection. I had to discover it about like every little thing else... on the streets (aka Newegg critiques + google). It wouldn't matter though because most individuals would freak out about that. I've employed two different modems with unique firmwares, and I can see how easy it is to trip up the majority of non-technical users. Possibly next time I will just buy a Trendnet combo unit (DSL modem + wifi router) to save space and hassle. I still enjoy this router. I don't want to use anything else! Once I got the DSL modem setup as a bridge, the router is SPECTACULAR. I used the CD setup which produced it straightforward to setup.Hardware I employed: PC for setup: Windows VistaPC for wifi connection: Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (Linux)Wifi card: EDIMAX EW-7128G PCI Wireless CardWifi antenna for wifi card: TP-Link TL-ANT2405CDSL modem: TRENDnet TDM-C400The greatest challenge was the DSL modem. The 1 I had kept giving me random disconnects (Motorola Netopia 2210-02-1006). It seems to be a sign that it was dying (based on user critiques). Once I replaced it with a Trendnet modem, everything worked terrific! The DSL modem is setup as a bridge. This router is utilizing PPoE, with SSID disabled and WPA2-PSK wifi security.I can't think the cost on this router is so low!

Amazing!!!! Easy to setup! I no longer have to reset the router just about every 3 hours to maintain connection. I am pleased. With my old router in the dining room and my bedroom on the total opposite side of the residence I only received 1 bar worth of signal. Now I obtain four if not 5 bars. I am ecstatic! And the low cost made it even much better. I have not found something to be unhappy about.

Uncomplicated Setup, decent range, dependable none so far I have installed these in many houses. I'm incredibly pleased with their performance an dependability.
