TL-WR841N 300 Mbps Wireless N Speed WiFi Router, Compatible with IPv6, Supports IGMP Proxy/Snooping, Bridge and Tag VLAN To Optimize IPTV Streaming, Easy Setup, WPS Button

I'd suffered and endured the dubious Virgin Media "Superhub" long enough. I decided I'd try a new router after reading all the similar problems on the Virgin Media forums. I didn't want to spend too much money, so reading the generally positive reviews of this router, and that others had even used it for the same reason, I went for it. Setting it up was incredibly simple, although I have had previous experience. But honestly the hardest part was probably setting the old VM box to "Modem" mode.. Anyway! Afterwards I wired in this new router, logged on to it wirelessly, went into its admin menu, clicked the automatic setup wizard and.... Bosh. Done! I didn't bother with the enclosed CD, I guess it would've installed unnecessary gunk on my PC, I have no idea what's on it. So setup took literally a couple of minutes, including untangling wires. Really easy. Performance has been fantastic. I immediately noticed a dramatic improvement over the old VM box. Before I'd have to click on a link on my wirelessly connected PC, and wait. Then perhaps click again. Same with all other devices. It was like the router just wasn't bothering to connect to the internet. Now it works properly. Ping and download speeds are epic. Before the ping could be pretty high, and download speeds could sometimes be fast, but somewhat variable and inconsistent. Now downloads are fast and rock steady. We have an xbox hooked up via wireless, in a bedroom the opposite end of the flat (It's a late 70s build with some pretty thick concrete walls to get through). It used to hover around the 1 bar of signal on the xbox "Find Wireless" section. Now it hovers around the Maximum point, occasionally dropping only by 1 bar. Playing games had gotten to the impossible point, and party chat was a stuttering mess of choppy voices and impossible to understand. Now, perfect. So signal is strong and very dependable. I stream media to a wireless radio, xbox etc. Worked perfectly out of the box. My wireless printer that had seemed very temperamental before is now fully co-operating. I read a couple of reviews where people said they had to reset... Mines been on permanently for a few weeks now without a single issue. I did ensure that I had the latest firmware on the TP-Link website, turns out it already had it installed. Maybe that helps? Anyway its behaved perfectly for me. So overall I rate this a fantastic router for my pretty basic needs. £20 for this is a bargain. It made my Virgin Media internet work how it was supposed to be. How Virgin who had such a fantastic reputation for speed could then couple that with such a poor piece of equipment is unbelievable. But this solves it. It's just a shame that I have to keep my stupid, large "Superhub" hooked up in modem mode alongside this great router. Buy it. It's great.

I bought this to use as a replacement for our Virgin Media Super Hub as, when our housing estate was built a couple of years ago, most people took on Virgin Media for their broadband services as they had a special offer for all new owners at the time. This now means that within a few hundred feet there are countless Super Hub ID's and our connection has become more and more unreliable. We have had a couple of replacement Hubs from VM but they haven't really cured the problem so I decided to change tack. Having read some of the reviews for TP-Link Cable WiFi Router and looking at how other people solved poor VM WiFi problems I decided to purchase for installation our loft space with a view to making the WiFi signal in our home more robust. One the router arrived and was out of the box I switched the Super Hub into Modem mode, ran a CAT5 cable from the Modem port up into the loft space, plugged it into the TP-Link Router and turned on. For first time use I used a wired connection with the laptop to log into the TP-Link Admin page and within a couple of clicks of a mouse the router had found the cable model and the connection was live. A few more clicks later and I had configured the WiFi as we would want it and all of our devices found the new SSID quickly. I then reviewed the basic security setting and made a few simple changes to make sure the router was as secure as I needed to be and, after a quick reboot, we were ready to go. The total installation time was no more than fifteen minutes and that included putting a couple of screws into a joist to mount the router for best signal strength. The router has been in place for about a month now and so far it has been excellent. Unlike the previous Super Hub there has been no drop out or no need to reboot (albeit I believe there is a setting where you can do this on a daily basis at a set time) and the connection has been very stable. We run 2 PC's, 1 Laptop, 2 FireTV's, 3 Mobile Phones and a CCTV system that can be viewed live and the router is dealing with all of this in it's stride. It not unusual for both Fire TV's to be streaming at the same time without an issue and our work laptop can be quite heavy on data when using a VPN connection and, again, the router has been trouble-free. There are lots of other features of the product such as Guest WiFi, Bridges, DMZ's etc. which are all over and above what we really need but am pleased the features could be used should our requirements change. All in all, for the price we paid and the issues we were having with a Super Hub, this is an excellent piece of kit for a home WiFi setup. It was quick and simple to set up, provided a good level of security for our devices and so far has been faultless.

Little slow but works properly, great as a 4g router, strong signal and easy to assemble

no issues at all, easy to set up with a data sim, offers a reliable connection, and small enough to take with us if the accommodation doesn't have wifi

A good item but could be improved by a notification light on the front panel for SMS messages, it would also benefit from the ability to plug in a phone handset. TP-Link are great with routers but when dealing with mobile sim card dependant items they are a little lacking in their design from mobile phone makers as in order to use this properly with multiple wireless devices you need a high rate or unlimited data plan and these come with unlimited call and texts that this device makes hard to use on the SMS side and impossible for the call side. Data only plans I have found to be more expensive than plans including voice and SMS. After 1 month of using this I have had good signal strength throughout my house, the colour is great as it needs to be mounted in a window for best mobile reception and being white in sunlight prevents it from getting too hot, the power cable is not long enough for window mounting so have had to find a way to extend it (it was easier to move a mains extension to the plug than extend the power cable). Having to log on the router home page to check for messages is a pain so you can't really use the message side. Mobile broadband is good for singles or those with lower internet (non gamer and no HD streams) but you can't really plan how much data you will need, for example you tube does let you pick different resolutions but does not specify how much data you will need to watch a video. Not many singles and couples really need fibre band-with. As I am using this with an unlimited internet plan that gives me calls and texts unlimited too I have tried to switch to a Motorola FW410 4G (after only 1 month) which did not provide as good a signal throughout the house but was able to use all 3 parts of my plan - calls, texts and internet. unfortunately the hot-spot side of this item packed up after only 5 days of use, it was a hot-spot not a router. This TP-Link router is a good reliable solution for data only with limited SMS function. If calls are required on top (like with my requirement) you may need 2 sims and 2 devices (and 2 accounts/bills), 1 to handle calls and texts (a basic Nokia 105 mobile will do this for around £20 equipment cost) and this router which gives the added bonus of being able to accept add on aerials which can be either indoor or outdoor mounted further improving mobile reception (did not need these and have not tried these, may need after house move). Most people already own a mobile so should not have this issue, the use of a non smartphone is due to battery life, recharge interval and better reception. My circumstances: due to probate (death of the home owner who paid the broadband bill) I will be leaving this house soon, could not justify a 2 year broadband contract and mess around with number changes when I move. This mobile system means I pay less for phone services (no line rental), get the bandwidth I need, have uninterrupted number portability and choice (albeit limited) of my own equipment. Landlines are lv ike TV licences, a thing of the past that you don't need (if you don't use TV) and there are newer alternatives to consider. This way I only have to inform of number change once which with the house move is required anyway.

I bought this for an empty property i have to install with hive lighting. I also bought an ASDA £5 per month sim card (EE). All worked very well, then for som reason decided to 'fall down'. After reasearch i found that it has to work on a non 5G wifi (for what ever reason). so 4G (if you have should work fine). Anyway, returned and refunded with no hastle.

I recently upgraded my home network setup with the TP-Link AC1200 4G+, and I am thrilled to share my experience with this outstanding device. This router is a true game-changer, and it has quickly become an essential part of my daily life. First and foremost, the AC1200 4G+ delivers lightning-fast internet speeds. Whether I'm streaming 4K videos, playing online games, or video conferencing for work, the router ensures a seamless and lag-free experience. The combined power of 4G+ and AC1200 technology is a winning combination, providing stable and high-speed internet connectivity even during peak hours. Living out in the sticks I was lucky to get 1Mbs from my “broadband” provider, now with an unlimited SIM I am getting between 50 and 70 Mbs from a 4G signal, upload speeds seem OK to and I haven’t had any call difficulties with Teams. The setup process was a breeze, thanks to TP-Link's intuitive interface and user-friendly instructions. Within minutes of unboxing, I had the router up and running, connecting all my devices without any hassle. I particularly appreciated the WPS button, which made connecting devices even more convenient. One of the standout features of the AC1200 4G+ is its excellent range. I no longer have to worry about dead zones in my home, as the router's powerful antennas ensure a strong and stable signal throughout the house. Even in areas where my previous router struggled, the AC1200 4G+ effortlessly provides reliable connectivity. The router's management options are comprehensive, allowing me to customize and optimize my network to suit my preferences. The TP-Link Tether app is a fantastic addition, granting me remote access to monitor and control my network from my smartphone. It's incredibly convenient, especially when I need to prioritize devices or troubleshoot any issues on the go. Moreover, the AC1200 4G+ comes with robust security features, providing peace of mind when it comes to protecting my online activities and personal data. TP-Link's commitment to security ensures a safe browsing experience, protecting my family from potential cyber threats. Another aspect that impressed me was the router's energy efficiency. It's clear that TP-Link has made efforts to design a product that not only performs exceptionally but also minimizes its environmental impact. With various power-saving options, the AC1200 4G+ is environmentally conscious while still delivering top-notch performance. In conclusion, the TP-Link AC1200 4G+ is an outstanding router that has exceeded my expectations in every way. With its impressive speed, wide coverage, user-friendly setup, and robust security features, it has significantly improved my internet experience at home. I highly recommend the AC1200 4G+ to anyone seeking a reliable and high-performance router to enhance their connectivity. TP-Link has once again proven its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction with this fantastic product.

I wanted to extricate myself from the clutches of BT : Domain hosting, Office 365, landline and broadband...so not very straightforward. Managed the first two with a struggle, then ported the landline to Voipfone who I can't recommend highly enough. I have an NX200 in another property, so for broadband decided to go for this 5G router and an EE unlimited data sim for £12.50 +vat per month. Disappointed to start with, only getting single figure connection speeds sometimes on my PC in the corner of the next room. Over the next couple of day signal and speed gradually improved (I experienced this with my NX200) up to point where I now regularly get 140mbps even though the sim is apparently limited to 100. I live in a large victorian house with thick stone walls and the signal penetration from the NX500 is amazing. A straight line from the router to my kitchen could not be more obstructed but still hitting 30mbps. My total monthy telecoms cost is now in the region of 20 quid, it was over £80 with BT so worth trying and persevering in my view. Was prepared to get a couple of wifi6 mesh extenders but doesn't look like I will be needing them. Furthermore, if you move house, go on holiday or whatever, just unplug the router and take it with you!

Very good

Sa marche très bien

Gör det den ska utan problem. Och - vilket var viktigt för mig: den gick fint att väggmontera!

Bene..Bene.. sono a scrivere una recensione che ho deciso di dividere in due parti. La PRIMA e' legata al prodotto, che ho trovato perfetto, conforme e funzionante al 100x100. l ho configurato e devo dire che con gestore windtre funziona in maniera ottimale. Imballato correttamente e arrivato in 1 gg. insomma sono soddisfatto sia del prodotto che del venditore che ha dimostrato cordialità e presenza in fase di pre-acquisto scambiando con me info importanti che mi hanno convinto ulteriormente. Insomma tutto bene. LA SECONDA parte di questa recensione e' dedicata al servizio TP-LINK support.. e' innegabile che a volte in un mondo che viaggia sempre piu veloce si abbia bisogno di un aiuto e i ragazzi del supporto TP-LINK sono stati pazienti professionali gentili e immediati sia al telefono che via mail. Mi hanno aiutato e supportato come mai altro supporto web ha fatto. Devo dire che se abbino la professionalità e correttezza del venditore alla professionalità e alla efficenza del gruppo tp-link stavolta il tutto potrei definirlo imbattibile. Quando le cose vanno bene mi fa davvero piacere scriverlo e sottolinearlo anche perche e' giusto anche dare soddisfazione sia a chi vende un buon prodotto sia a chi ogni giorno con pazienza dedica il suo tempo agli altri e ti aiuta se hai problemi, sono plus che mi piace, quando li ricevo, sottolineare per tutti gli altri che verranno. Grazie quindi al venditore e grazie a tp-link-support per una gestione di entrambi senza ombre.

Bonjour Ce routeur m'a était livré avec un transformateur 220v 12v avec une prise murale pas adapté au prise murale française ! Est-il possible de m'en envoyer une compatible française
