AC750 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router(TL-WR902AC) - Support Multiple Modes, WiFi Router/Hotspot/Bridge/Range Extender/Access Point/Client Modes, Dual Band WiFi, 1 USB 2.0 Port

Can't remember getting it

Still don’t know how it should work!

I have the previous model of this, the TP-Link TL-WR702N (150mbps 802.11n-standard) as well as this one, the WR902AC (AC750). I don't do a lot of traveling, but got both devices for the flexibility of a small device that can be used as an access point, a bridge (repeater) or a router -- I've used both in all those modes. I specifically got this so I could use it as a repeater, to extend the reach of the 5GHz WiFi network of my main router in my previous apartment, where it worked fine -- there were no other 5GHz networks. I moved 6 months ago, and very quickly found out that this device, the WR902AC, does not support _ANY_ 5GHz WiFi channels above #48 -- specifically it does not support any of the high channels 148-165; this despite the fact that I bought the EU version of the device from Amazon Germany, and it has the EU version of the software -- and those channels are legal to use in Europe (as well as my country). Since I have a very noisy and crowded WiFi environment on both band ranges, the device is unusable; if I set my main router to choose its 5GHz channel automatically, it will always choose one of the higher channels since those are free of traffic & interference, and then the WR902AC won't connect to that network. If I force my router to choose one of the lower channels (and the usable ones change multiple times an hour), transmission rates are miserable (e.g., 7mbps, with a third of all web browser clicks yielding in a timeout), vs. the 234mbps I get with my main router. There are no available firmware upgrades, and the US-model version of the firmware refuses to install on this device. A router specifically advertised as a travel device should definitely allow change of geo region; even if it doesn't, it should definitely allow the channels legal in the region where it was bought. Still giving it two stars, because it may be a useful device for others, but for me it's become completely useless.

Molto versatile. Ottimo prodotto.

Es muy bueno para solucionar cuestiones de señal de wi-fi ya sea para usar como repetidor, punto de acceso hasta modo cliente para usar como antena de algún dispositivo que solo cuente con puerto ethernet. Fácil de configurar y tamaño versátil para colocar o pegar en cualquier superficie por su peso ligero.

I travel for work. So I am in hotels often. I LOVE the ability to plug a gadget in, and point it to the access point, and have all my devices automatically connect up. This was necessary to satisfy the problem of Google chromecast, where it requires a phone to operate, and they must be on the same wifi network. (Most hotels isolate devices to keep guests secure from each other) I bought the small nano first. And I later purchased the larger version (TL-WR902AC). So I will provide the pros and cons of each here. Please also note that I am EXCLUSIVELY using this in hotels in wi-fi only (never plugged in the RJ-45 ethernet) as a wi-fi access point for all my tech, I've not used it for anything else. There are many other features and capabilities that are not accounted for here. Nano: + simple setup, great wizard. + SOOOOO tiny + Works great with Marriott/SPG hotels (and everywhere else I've tried it) - Struggles with multiple devices, the single band antenna seems to be a big restriction in speed and multiple devices. - Slow speeds Big brother (AC902 model) + Much cleaner and more stable connections - handles all my devices brilliantly. + Far more features (that I don't use) + Larger than the nano (picture for reference) but still so small that it's perfect for travel - Setup is not so streamlined. Additional hardware toggle on the device makes it more confusing. (I use the middle setting, "Share Hotspot") Side-notes: I used this exclusively at a single hotel before upgrading, so the differences noticed between the two models were all at the same property. Both devices get a bit warm, but nothing concerning, and it's not at all surprising given how tightly they are packing them. Both are small enough that the only reason I would recommend the nano over the big brother is if you need something to fit in your pocket, or purse, and don't have high expectations in terms of speed.

Just works as it should.

This modem is perfect for travel. It connects easily to the hotel's host server and is impressively compact. The iOS app makes setup quick and hassle-free. I also appreciate the added security features, which provide extra protection while browsing the web. Highly recommended for frequent
