Review on TP LINK TL WR940N Wireless External Antennas by Kenta Kajikawa ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Upset and disappointed, the product is very bad!

"weak iron" - ping from the diagnostics of the router itself - 5-6ms, pings on the WiFi client - 12-17ms, under load it can show 25-35ms. Tolerable but clearly far from at least semi-professional equipment. there are no firmware from the manufacturer for more than a year, no one knows what security holes are (or not). my copy periodically falls into a stupor and starts to lose 10-50% of packets on WiFi, the delay grows to 500-2022 ms, surfing the sites can and does digest, but playing or watching videos is not an option, rebooting (sw and / or power) it is treated once out of 5, usually you have to plug the provider's cable directly into the laptop, naturally it happens "at the right" moment, which makes it doubly infuriating. when a piece of iron "in the mood" pulls out honest 100Mb / s on the download, there are no complaints. bought for urgent need for 1450, in principle, if you do not expect miracles, then it justifies its price, lies on the closet, distributes cartoons on a tablet from youtube Somewhat demanding on technology - I do not recommend buying.

Pros
  • Cheap standard web-based configuration interface visually beautiful
Cons
  • standard configuration web interface, too simplified approach to settings "weak iron" quality and performance may vary from instance to instance no custom (read normal firmware)
