TP-Link TL-WR841N Wireless N Router
The TP-Link TL-WR841N Wireless N Router provides wired and wireless network connection with a 4-port switch that allows wireless access to multiple devices in your home without running unsightly wires.
The TL-WR841N is backward compatible with 802.11b and g and thanks to Align technology from Atheros Communications Inc., is forward compatible with higher-performance, multi-stream, MIMO-based 802.11n which offers an impressive 300Mbps at a very reasonable price. Besides high speed, 802.11n gives you great performance even at long distances, as well as an SPI firewall to prevent your network from being compromised. Other security features include SSID broadcast control, MAC address access control, WEP encryption, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication. It has dual external antennas to enhance transmission rates and coverage while CAA technology prevents channel conflicts.
Besides home use, the TL-WR841N is a great choice for businesses since it offers priority, support and stability to large bandwith-consuming applications which are subject to interruptions, like voice and video.

We just installed this router to use with 3 computers and so far, we are getting 10-times better results than our old junk Linksys G did. Setup was very easy. Great connection. I only have 2 issues with it. One was that my computer did not support the latest WPA2-PSK. So, we can only run our computers on the network with WEP security mode. However, that is an issue with my old computer, not the router. The other issue is that if you are far enough away from the router, it tends to be spotty at times, but only for very short spurts of time. When it is connecting to the internet, which is most of the time, it gives a much stronger connection than most routers. So, with the exception of only a few minor errors, I highly recommend this router, even though it's not the best of the best. The price was excellent, and a few little things don't matter for such a great deal on a powerful N router.

I was sold this router by TWC when they installed my service. After 3 months it just quit without any reason. I tried to reset it but no change. When I contacted TWC they troubleshooted and told me the router has quit, which I already knew. When I asked them to change it they said it is guaranteed for 30 days only. So practically a disposable router. I don't recommend it at all!

Comments about TP-Link TL-WR841N Wireless N Router:
I use this in my home network.
It was easy to setup using the provided cd. I only used it to see how well it worked...and it worked very well. I used my former network settings to make setup easier.
I am able to surf the net while streaming Netflix over Seagate Theater + with the minimum of pauses. I was getting lots of delays with my (third) old router.
Ths price was excellent and so far the quality seems very good. I would recommend it to a friend.

Comments about TP-Link TL-WR841N Wireless N Router:
Set up using the cd, mainly because I like to see how well/easy they can make it. I have set up 3 wireless routers previously, so I really did not need to. Enclosed setup cd worked very well and it would have been perfect connecting to a new network. It's a bit more work if you already have one established though.
I was experiencing lags while streaming netflix using my former router, but now I have practically none. I am quite satisfied with the device, and the price!
B&H Photo/Video delivered quickly and it was well packaged!
