TP-LINK TL-WR941ND Review
Router Rating:
If you plan to have a wireless router for basic Internet use ( web browsing , downloading...) and do not need advanced features like dual-band support or USB sharing port , I recommend the TP-LINK TL-WR941ND .
for a $49.99(at the time I wrote these words) you will have an N-wireless router with Nice features and solid performance.
it's the second cheapest N router we reviewed after the D-Link DIR-615, the two routers have almost the same features but The TP-LINK TL-WR941ND offers better performance, this is certainly worth the 10$ difference.
unlike most routers,TP-LINK TL-WR941ND doesn't come with Desktop setup wizard CD ,
the installation is done through web interface with a quick installation book (come with the router , you can also download it in pdf format here) which guide you to install the router correctly within few minutes.
PROS:
- 802.11n Draft Support:The TP-LINK TL-WR941ND Router is a draft 802.11n compliant device that delivers up to 14x faster speeds and 6x farther range than 802.11g
- Affordable price : the router is one of cheapest N routers , for 49.99$ you will get an N wireless router with solid performance
- Decent performance : TP-LINK TL-WR941ND offers an excellent throughput speed in both short range and long range tests,unfortunately , the router doesn't allow N-mode-only to test the router throughput in N mode only , so the tests are based on mixed mode(N/g standards):the router is one of the fastest routers we reviewed.
the router offers also long range can reach 350 feet with a stable signal : better than most routers who can't extend 250 Feet.
if you need a longer coverage take a look at Belkin N+ - Wi-Fi Protected Setup : secure you wireless network and eliminate the need of entering SSID and password to connect to the network .
with WPS, you will be able to connect by simply pressing a button or entering a short PIN code.
CONS:
- No Dual band support : The router can deliver only in 2.4 Ghz band and do not support 5Ghz like the Linksys wrt320n
- No Gigabit speed for wired connections : the router is equipped with 4 Ethernet ports 4*100 Mbps
- No USB ports : the router lacks of USB port used to connect a printer or an USB storage device, such as a hard drive or thumb drive, and share all its contents over the network ( Linksys WRT610n can do this effectively )
- bulky design : TP-LINK TL-WR941ND has a dated design with 3 external antennas in the back ,TP-LINK have to do more work on the design

Review
I am the manager of a local computer shop in KY who has used TP-Link Routers through our shop for years purchasing around 100+ a year. We recently came across a defective Router and because it had been a little over 30 days since we purchased this product through New Egg we had to contact the manufacture to replace it. This Router was suppose to come with a 1 yr warranty however, when I called to replace it the only number for TP-Link I found was a number to China and I’m in America. I called the number only to talk with someone I didn’t understand. She then didn’t listen to a word I had said and wanted me to troubleshoot a completely dead part that will not even power on. Then she hung up the phone. So after 30 minute of waiting the first time I had to call back and wait some more only to be told after my info was given along with serial and model numbers that I will have to call a long distance number and do this all over again for the 3rd time to even find out if they would replace it. Once you add up the cost of the long distance call all the time that was wasted and the shipping cost to ship this part back to them it would exceed the cost of the part all together. They have horrible customer service, a terrible language barrier, and extremely bad technical support line. So to sum up TP-Link Router’s DO NOT have a years warranty after you deal with all this and we will NOT be purchasing another product from this company again. I DO NOT recommend this product at all!!
