Review on TP LINK TL WR940N Wireless External Antennas by Alvin Ng ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor quality, not worth the money.

It was very simple for him to set up. The good news comes to an end there. When I test the speed, it's 90 MB when I connect my laptop to my desktop via cable, but it's only 5-15 MB when I connect my laptop to my router via cable. 30-35 MB was the result when I tested the connection between the laptop and the router. This is the case even with a single connected device physically present next to the router. I got the ball rolling on a conversation with the technical support staff. They suggested experimenting with the settings in other devices (channels, bandwidth, countries, disabling encryption, etc.). This activity consumed a total of five hours of my time. The outcome is a big fat zero! Speed ​​- 5-10 Mb maximum! (I directly checked it into the laptop at regular intervals, and it was always between 85 and 90 megabytes) I responded with an email to the technical support. They requested that I send a screenshot of the firmware version of the router in order for them to send the appropriate update, and I attempted to comply with their request. Sent. After that, the technical support team stopped responding to my inquiries. As a consequence of this, I came to the conclusion that, in point of fact, why the hell should I have such a personal connection with the router? I went, and in its place, they gave me Zyxel (kinetic light 3). Yes, the initial setup took half an hour (because the quick setup wasn't successful, I had to call the operator and have them walk me through the process step by step). However, he quickly revealed the speed to be between 35 and 40 MB! It's possible that I've used a faulty router in the past, but after my experience with TP-link, I won't recommend that any of my friends or family buy one!

Pros
  • Quick and simple initial set up
Cons
  • The speed limit is arbitrarily lowered, and there is no technical support.
