TP-Link TL-WR741ND 150Mbps Wireless N Router with Detachable 5dBi Antennas
This review is from : TP-Link TL-WR741ND 150Mbps Wireless N Router
Reliable and affordable no-frills wireless router! . I was looking for a basic but reliable wireless router so I could use my netbook around my condo, as well as hardwire my desktop PC and X360 to the internet. However I found that researching wireless routers is a nightmare, as for every person who lauds a particular model, there will be someone else who condemns it. This problem is especially prevalent among entry level models. Initially I was only considering LinkSys and DLink, since they are the two most famous consumer brands, but I couldn't find a basic model from either that was consistently rated well. There always seemed to be a small but significant proportion of users that would complain about dropped signals, running hot, firmware issues, etc. By chance though I saw this model reviewed on CNET [..]and immediately bought it from a local PC store. In addition to the good performance, long range, and ease of use as tested by CNET, this router was extremely affordable, which sealed the deal for me. After using this router for more than a year now, I can safely say that CNET's review is right on the money. It is a rock-solid router- I've only had 2-3 dropped signals to date. The signal easily covers every corner of my 3+1 bedroom condo, including the balcony. The unit does not run hot at all. Setting up and changing the settings on the router is indeed very easy and intuitive using the browser-based configuration. I strongly recommend that you download the latest firmware from TP-Link beforehand and update your router before actually setting up your network (it's very easy, just use the "update" option in the configuration screen and point to the downloaded firmware file). The fact that it is also one of the cheapest (but reliable) routers on the market is just icing on the cake. Keep in mind this is an entry-level model- 150Mbps only and no USB port for printer/HDD sharing, so if you need something more robust consider its bigger brothers like the 941ND or 1041ND. If you just need a no-frills, "fire and forget" wireless router to get online, buy this model, you won't be dissapointed.

TP-Link TL-WR741ND 150Mbps Wireless N Router Reviews
TP-Link Router Good Gift . I bought this router as a gift so i cannot rate it based on performance. However, I did setup the router for the person I bought it for and was pretty happy with the setup process for the most part. I would say my only gripe was that it was a little slow rebooting after making various firmware setting changes. Other than that seemed like a pretty good Wireless N router for the price.

Cons Review
Good speed but unusable . My router crashed every 20 minutes
(no response from 192.168.1.1, only power cycle helps)
I flashed newer firmware, didn't help.
returned it to the store

Not great reception slow service . I have road runner high speed online and it's the 2nd fastest thing I've ever seen. I got this because my wireless g was getting really annoying. When I set this up putting a pass word on was hard and so was setting it up.Just get the netgear range max. Much more satisfied than this peice of junk. I had to put tinfoil around the antennas and still got no to little reception
