## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the range between router and computer**
A: I don't know the official answer, but the furthest I get a signal is about 30-50 (roughly guestimated) yards from the router. It's a week signal, but it's still about 30-50 yards going through three walls and a tiled floor.

**Q: Will i be able to set, for example, MAC 44:44:44:44:44 is able to use just 20KB/S max download and upload speed?**
A: Yes, you will be able to set the mac address and the download speed depends on the isp internet service max transfer is 600mb per second LAN

**Q: Can this be used for a Wireless Access Point/Bridge to repeat the signal from another router?**
A: Yes. That's how I have mine setup.

**Q: Why I can't find 5Ghz on the wifi list in 2 Window 8 laptops. I can connect both of 2.4 & 5 Ghz with ipad, smartphone, old xp window laptop.**
A: might be too late to answer this but it could be the devices.  I have some devices in my house that can see the 5 ghz and others that can't.  MY Nexus 7 (1st gen) was not made for the 5 Ghz spectrum but my Nexus 5 sees both. All depends on how the device was made.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rock solid Wifi router for a great price
*by E***E on January 2, 2016*

I must admit i was very skeptical initially to buy a Wifi router that wasn't one the brand names i recognized. Contrary to my expectations, i found TP Link to be a fantastic Wifi router. Just what you'd expect in a modern technology product.1) Simple to setup:Setup was a breeze. It was plug & play. I plugged into Comcast Cable modem on the outbound & my home devices on the inbound2) Great range:I have two floors in my house. Router and cable modem are on the top floor. Pretty much all other devices are at the bottom floor. Everything works flawlessly.3) Handles a complex home network:I have the below devices:Wired devices: NAS drive, Home DVR camera system, Vonage phone, Ethernet hubWireless devices: Two Android smart phones, iPad Air, Two windows laptops, One MACBook Pro, Roku 3, Apple TV, Blue Ray player, Sonos Speaker, Wii U, HP LaserJet printerThat's 15 devices. I only see myself adding more to this list. All of them have been working great so far4) Dual band works great for streaming:It's got simultaneous 2.4G & 5G bands that's great for streaming. I stream a lot of content. Me & kids live on our Roku 3 & Apple TV. My wife watches a lot of streaming content on iPad. AirPlay from iPad used to buffer & struggle with my past AT&T routers. They work without any issues with TPLink.5) Port forwarding:I have port forwarding rules setup to access my home DVR camera system from the internet.I'll be replacing my NAS with a WD RAID array and will be adding iTunes server, DLNA, Plex to the same, which means more streaming on the horizon. So i'll learn more.So far everything's been hunky dory. Solid router for the $40 i paid.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FLAWLESS! LOVE THESE! I BOUGHT TWO!!
*by B***W on April 16, 2014*

***UPDATE March, 2016 - 2 Years LaterWhile these have served us well over the last two years there have recently been some issues with speed, range, and disconnects requiring reboots. I've since replaced them both with Apple Airport Expresses which have better range and based on reviews are rock solid in terms of reliability. The Apple Airport Express is also one click setup whereas these were a lot of configuration, and the Apple App lets you see which clients are connected to which AP, great for troubleshooting, they are also half the size and don't have the silly antennae. So long TP-Link.***After months of frustration with ASUS RT-N53 routers crashing constantly I bought two of these, one as a primary router, and the other as a wireless access point. They were both connected via powerline with the TP-LINK TL-PA4010KIT AV500 powerline over ethernet adapters.When I say flawless I mean it. Not one dropped connection on the 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ band, not once have I had to reset them in over a month. These things are very reliable, and two of them cover my three story house. My iPhones, Amazon Kindles, Rokus, and Laptops add up to over a dozen devices and these handle them perfectly. Do yourself a favor and ignore all the hyped overpriced gadgets and go with this inexpensive RELIABLE router, you won't regret it! I went with the N600. Range is good and interface was simple enough. It doesn't have any setup wizards for making it an access point, but that is easily found looking on the internet.Thumbs up. Definitely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad.
*by J***Y on September 27, 2015*

I bought this to keep at my gf's house because her AT&T 2Wire modem/router hybrid didn't play nice with my laptop. I have the 3-antenna version of this at my apartment (the 4300 I wanna say?) so I'm familiar with TP-Link's web interface and how these devices work.Pros1. Once I got it to work, it worked well enough. Get about 90% of the rated speeds she was promised by AT&T. This was probably both the router and AT&T's fault for not getting the full 100%, but whatever, close enough.2. Good design, if you download the PDF manual, you can figure out what all the blinking lights mean. Looks slick.3. Web interface is easy to understand once you get used to it. The Quick Setup works relatively well unless you need to enable the special features.4. Has some decent features for a sub $40 router.5. Has decent range for a sub $40 router.6. Has decent speeds for a sub $40 router.Cons1. Came with wildly outdated firmware out of the box. This caused compatibility problems with my gf's 2Wire modem/router/garbage combo that was only fixed when updating to the most recent version. Make sure you update to the most recent firmware as soon as you open this bad boy or you'll probably have some issues.2. The power cable is shorter than most and that makes me sad.3. No dd-wrt support :( There is OpenWRT support, but I'm not technically knowledgeable enough to use that just yet.Note:Like I said in the cons, this ships with wildly outdated firmware that you should update immediately upon receiving to avoid too many issues. With the AT&T 2Wire modem/router/garbage combo, I had to set the channel manually (the auto channel selector doesn't seem to do it all that well), and increase the width to 40Hz before I got pretty decent speeds. Of course, you probably won't have to do that with your modem, just giving you a narrative of this particular combination of hardware. It was a pain.Overall, this is a decent router. It's under $40 and you really can't ask for much more out of a sub $40 router. Are there better routers? You betcha. Did this one perform flawlessly? Eh, close enough. However, for the price, I feel like I got my money's worth.
