Review on πŸ“Ά TP-Link TL-WR340G 54Mbps 4-Port Wireless Router: Reliable and High-Speed Internet Connectivity by Sherman Lancaster

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Outstanding Product, Best in Computers and Accessories Category

After 6 years of use, my old D-Link DI-514 (802.11b) router stopped working due to a power failure. The price of a replacement PSU is so high that I decided to upgrade to a G router as my laptops already come with a wireless G adapter. After a long search, I decided to buy this item from TP-Link. I bought it mainly based on reviews from other users. I bought it from Amazon 5 days ago for $18. By following a quick setup guide, I was able to set up the router in 15 minutes. I used WPA2-PSK security. I have Comcast Internet. I use 2 laptops (one personal and one work) and a Vonage VOIP phone. So far I haven't experienced any disconnects. My old D-Link router was like a hot oven while running, but this TP-Link router doesn't put out as much heat. Overall I am very satisfied with this product. I would recommend people to buy this product if they want basic wifi network at home. ------------------------------------------------ -------------------Update 01/04/2013 - It has been 2 years since I bought this router. It's still running smoothly. However, I recently got my ThinkPad to stop working with Windows 7. When I try to connect it via WiFi, the router just drops all connections. I need to restart my router to re-enable device connection. If I don't connect my work laptop, there's no problem. My private laptop has Windows XP. I will update this post as soon as I find a solution to this problem.
