TP-LINK TL-WR841N Wireless N Router
What This Product Does
300Mbps Wireless N Router TL-WR841N is
a combined wired/wireless network connection device designed specifically for
small business and home office networking requirements. TL-WR841N’s exceptional
and advanced wireless performance make it ideal for streaming HD video, making
VoIP and online gaming. Also, WPS button on the sleek and fashionable exterior
ensures WPA2 encryptions, preventing the network from outside intrusions.
Wireless N Speed & Range
Complying with the IEEE 802.11n standard,
TL-WR841N can establish a wireless network and get up to 15X the speed and 5X
the range of conventional 11g products. Also, with transmission rates up to
300Mbps.
Better Wireless Performance
It shows more excellent abilities of
mitigating data loss over long distances and through obstacles in a small
office or a large apartment, even in a steel-and-concrete building. Above all,
you could easily pick up the wireless network during long-distance connection
where legacy 11g products may not! Which also means, the router has the speed to
work smoothly with almost any bandwidth intensive application including VoIP,
HD streaming, or online gaming, without the lag.
Pros
- Good looking & compact router.
- Super easy to set up.
- Web based utility does a good job in controlling the router.
- All required instructions for easy setup are provided.
- The Stock firmware has a lot to offer.
- DD WRT firmware support (Just Google 'DD WRT' for details). However, I was
unable to use the feature as DD WRT firmware for V9 is not available. Also it voids
warranty.
- Physical Power AND Wi-Fi switch present. Which means you can switch off your
WIFI alone while letting the router run and manage physical LAN connection.
- 4 LAN ports present.
- It can also be used as range extender.
- Has 2 non-detachable antennas for boosting Wi-Fi. I've installed the router
in 1st floor and get 1-2 bars in ground & 2nd floor and just outside on the
road. Also my tab shows 1 bar while on the roof top of my 3 storey building.
So, its coverage is good to average. Data/Internet speed has little effect on
the available no. of bars.
- It can share loads of data via Wi-Fi & LAN network. I had successfully
converted my tab into Wi-Fi virtual keyboard, mouse & gamepad/joystick.
- Wall mounting can also be done.
- 3 Years Replacement Warrenty.
Cons
- Contrary to the first point as given in the pros. I haven't really seen any
great improvement with wireless coverage.
That being said, i'm quite disappointed because I was
expecting this router to have real good coverage. And to be honest, I'm saying
no improvement over the Belkin wireless G router(A entry level router).
- The notification lights are cumbersome, I need to get my
face all the way right on top of it to coordinate the light indicator with its
corresponding indicator(Wifi, Lan or wtr)
To Conclude
This router, yes its cheaper than what you can find for most of the other N 300
rated routers which come from companies like Belkin and of its sort. It's got
that nice specification chart, which will matter only to where it counts.
The Wifi range was a total put off for me, and its other
specification related stuff could be considered as "future proofing"
(in case you're planning to have alot of devices connected to it someday.)
This router, will be a winner for you especially if you have
a lot of devices connected to it, sharing loads of data within the network.
We're talking of something in the range above 200 Mb/s. Or even if you're a
gamer and you like to have your friends over to have a Co op among-st
yourselves, it will comfortably take the task without any glitch's because its
got such a wide bandwidth.
As this router, in my experience doesn't give any significant boost of any kind
with respect to the WIFI coverage. I didnt have to transfer huge lumps of data
within my local network. This router was not for me. (I expected it to have a
good wifi coverage)
And if you fall in the same criteria, I can as sure as hell
tell you that you'd be fine with the N 150.
But yes, if you have a lot of devices(Printers, Consoles, PC, smartphones etc)
which will be connected and will require to both use the internet and
simultaneously share loads of data within your home network. This will do you
good. Especially for the price.
