Review on Wi-Fi router TP-LINK TL-WR844N, white by Wiktor Getka ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is average, I'm not sure it's worth the money.

I'll add my two cents to the reviews. The router is quite simple. Below the price is only the Chinese "know name". Therefore, one should not expect any records from him. When setting up, I found problems in the firmware of the router. And this is when reconfiguring many parameters, type, firewall, nat, etc. may hang (do not go on the web). Only a reset helped me. It is worth noting that you can connect through the web face of the router and through the Tehter application without any additional settings. For example, for the initial connection via a wi-fi network, you must use the address 19220228.0.1 or tplinkwifi. Net. The login password is written on a sticker on the bottom of the router. The Wi-Fi speed can only be raised up to 50 Mbps if one of the channels 1, 6, 11, the channel width is 20 MHz and the 8022022n protocol (only one of them) is manually set. Moreover, it is best to select a channel after scanning the entire network in the environment of the router, for example, using the wifianalyzer application or inSSIDer for android. Speed ​​can be measured online using tools such as . Internetometer. Shows more accurately unlike applications. I personally spread the antennas of the router at an angle of 45 degrees, like so \ /, for greater coverage. The speed of the router in the same room with it is from 40 to 50 Mbps, outside it behind the wall and in the kitchen - from 25 to 40 Mbps, somewhere like that. A few words about the 300 Mbps box label. Theoretically, the router can operate at a maximum speed of up to 100 Mbps, provided there is no interference (there should not be a single source of interference around the router, another router), work in mimo mode on two antennas and with a channel width of 40 MHz and the 8022022n protocol . Speed ​​100 Mbps and no more! Since the physical ports of the device can only operate at speeds up to 100 Mbps. Declared 300 Mbps theoretical exchange rate between your gadgets, gadgets and router via wireless local area network wi-fi, not with servers on the Internet!

Pros
  • It's definitely the price. In addition, a simple menu of the web interface, the simple design of the router, there is nothing superfluous.
Cons
  • The white color of the plastic case in the sun will fade into yellow. The connection speed over a wireless network is no higher than 50 Mbps, it will no longer work. Only one frequency band 2.4 GHz.
