Exceptional Performance and Stability with MIMO

The 300 Mbps Wireless-N Router offers wireless transmission speeds of up to 300 Mbps and complies with the IEEE 802.11n standard. MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) technology delivers improved wireless transmission rates and stability, while two detachable, omnidirectional antennas are designed to provide optimal wireless performance, transmission rates, stability, and coverage.

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! This 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.

Using its channel selection feature, CCA technology automatically avoids channel conflicts and promotes high wireless transmission performance in long-distance and high-interference environments.

In addition to its wireless capabilities, the Wireless-N Router has four interior interchangeable 10/100 Mbps ports, allowing you to connect up to four computers directly to the router.

QSS Provides Worry-Free Wireless Security

The router's QSS (Quick Secure Setup) function complies with the WPS standard to ensure the security of your wireless network. A built-in firewall features IP, MAC, and URL filtering to flexibly control online access and time. The Wireless-N Router also supports MAC address access control, WEP encryption, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication. These combined security measures are designed to deliver stronger, safer protection and guard against intruders.

On-Demand Dialing, Online Access, and More

This Wireless-N Router supports on-demand dialing, online access management, automatic virus isolation, Universal Plug and Play protocols, and Dynamic DNS, and has an advanced system security record.

A user-friendly software interface enables all users to easily configure the router and supports free web-based software updates.

Detachable Antennas for Adjustability and Upgrades

The router includes two omnidirectional, 5dbi antennas that can be quickly adjusted and rotated to different positions for flexibility and better performance than internal antennas. The antennas are detachable, so if you need greater performance you can easily replace them with stronger antennas for even better coverage.

Quality Service without Interruptions

Among the wireless network, indiscriminate Internet surfing and bandwidth-guzzling downloads by internal users often leave home or small office with insufficient bandwidth. This router supports the IP QoS function, allowing optimum utilization of bandwidth and offers bandwidth control over congestion, preventing the bandwidth abuse. In this way, the users of a small network receive committed and specific bandwidth, preventing non-critical applications from degrading network performance.

Powerful Parental Controls for Safe Browsing

Integrated parental control functions allow for precise control over children's Internet activities, including restricting certain websites and limiting the amount of time spent on the Internet. The simple web-based interface makes setting schedules and adding new computers a quick and easy process.

Easy Setup

The device comes with a CD with an Easy Setup Assistant that leads you through the setup process step-by-step, and even helps with wireless network settings and security configurations, which is convenient to the users, especially for novice users.

Product and Warranty Information

The router is compatible with 802.11b/g/n protocol wireless products as well as Intel Centrino technology.

Featuring a sleek design, the Wireless-N Router can be mounted on a wall or placed horizontally on a table or desk. It measures 1-3/10 by 7-3/5 by 5-1/10 inches (H x W x D).

The Wireless-N Router is backed by a two-year warranty.

For the money you couldn't ask for a better router, easy to set up, great security features and great price. Had it up and running in a matter of minutes. It is wall mountable, has 4 ports in back, compatible with my wireless G devices and arrived 1 day ahead of schedule. If you can read and follow the simple quick install guide, you should have no problems. Would recommend this router to anyone wanting to go wireless N on a budget.

Good product!
I used netgear 300Mbps wireless router provided by comcast. The signal is not so good in one of my rooms(farthest one from the router, other rooms are good) and my roomate complained about it. That room is 3 walls away from the router.

I bought this TP-Link router because it has external antenna. It provides much better signal. And at the same time, it is much cheaper than netgear.

Con: It does not support third-party firmware(they provide many extra features like fine-grained QoS). It does not support IPv6, just like most other routers.

Overall, I think this router is worth buying. You can't expect a "perfect" router for such a low price.

This is only the 2nd wireless router I've purchased. One reason I choose the TL-WR841ND was that it offered the new 802.11n+ and compatibility with older standards. The other reason was the price. I've only had the unit about a month now. So far so good.
The setup was easy, it worked right out of the box with very little interaction. Then again I have a MAC so why wouldn't it be easy? The coverage is good. It sits in the lower floor room of a brick wall, split level home built in the 60's. The weakest signal I've received was on my back patio that is on the opposite side of the house and through 3 walls and a few screened windows. No issues with it working there - signal strength registered 2 bars on a PC laptop.
Go ahead and give this one a try.
