Review: ===> The *BEST* Entry Level WiFi RouterModem - You will spend ages looking at all the various component bits (I did) and features you need for your home network (maybe also small business). You will probably buy a few bits only later to realise they are wrong. This is the one you want to buy. It's got all the features and it's the cheapest. AND it seems to work for me. 1. It's 2011 so you need 300MBPS wireless N - this unit has it. this is the fastest furthest reaching signal. 2. You might have a fast ADSL2 broadband connections - this baby can handle that. 3. Has the holes you need for a wired network the old technology is wireless B and G. That's slower and does not go as far. If any of your PCs still have these components then your connection will not be improved in terms of speed or distance probably. That is why some reviewers do not notice an improvement. So if you buy this then also buy wireless N adapters for your PCs. If you have a mostly wired network like me) then you might wonder why I say you should buy this as it only does a WIRED network at 10/100 speed ie NOT gigabit. Well when you have to reboot your modem all your open files will be lost...that is the problem with relying on a bit such as this as the central 'hub' of your network So you want to buy this unit AND a gigabit switch. Link all your wired connections into the switch and the switch into this modem router. The speed of your broadband connection is less than the 10/100 speed so that is why you only need 10/100 speed to go from this unit to your switch. If you really want only one network hub device (all-in-one) AND you have wired gigabit connections then you DO NOT want this device. Go for the next one up with faster gigabit lan ports. This unit easily connects my blackberries and my sons WII and the kid's XP and my windows 7 computers. They all work. -ve points other than above none. The configuration software is easy enough. The only thing i couldn't configure was the MRU the maximum recieve packet size...not a key feature!! don't worry. The config software seemed tolose my previous config if ever i tried to redo any of it so i had to re-enter all the info...a bit annoying. Have updated to the latest firmware but not yet tested if that makes any difference. UPDATE: July 2011 All is mostly good. Works for weeks without needing restarting. On the downside I did have to re-enter all the settings (ie effectively re-install it) as the wifi connection to my son's zen touch 2 would just not work. Rebuilding/re-starting did work. This time i remembered to save the configuration settings afterwards to make it easier next time i might have to do this. I do have some issues with "internet pausing" thos this could be my pc or the ISP or this unit....I don't know and will probably never find out! Never last for more than a minute or so though. A negative point i have just discovered. I had this great super secure home network for my kids. Controlling their internet access via microsoft family safety (which is free and nice). However as soon as you let them access the net from their Wii or their ipad or their zen touch or whatever you lose all that control and they have free access to everything!!! THE ONLY SOLUTION to that will rely on a router (ie the unit in this review) having control features. Now this unit does have features you COULD use but it would be impractical to do so in reality. All you can sensibly do is stop internet access for a certain device at a certain time and that involves using MAC addresses and I have to say is not straightforward and I'm technical. However I would not place this as a bad point against this product as Iwould imagine all the competitors are the same!
Review: Not Mac-user friendly enough - I was dreading installing another modem router (m/r). Had to get an engineer to install my last Netgear 834GT. Lately it's been losing connection frequently. Rather than get the updated version of this m/r, the TP Link TD8961N, I opted for the TD8960N as it's been established longer, promised easy installation, and had better reviews. I've had it for over a week now. However, the installation is not Mac-user friendly.The installation disc is of the mini-disc variety and thus not acceptable to slot-loading computers like Macs. Happily, the instruction manual offers an alternative method of installation by way of browser which I had to use. Secondly, updating the latest firmware on my Mac has proved difficult. Again, it is more suited to Windows. I contacted TP-Link which was a waste of time. Their e-mail resembled a translation-into-English page from Google translate and did not address my issues at all. So, I haven't bothered updating. Having said all that, I successfully set up this m/r in 25 minutes. Joy! I also like its appearance in comparison to my old plain white Netgear. Next day, though, it suffered from a couple of reception`drop-outs'. I had used the existing Netgear ethernet cable during installation, so I changed it for the one that came with the TP-Link m/r and also changed the bandwidth setting to 20/40 MHz. So far, no problems at all with no further dropouts. Speeds are way up from my old m/r. There is an on/off switch so I can switch it off at night or when we go on holiday. I even tempted fate and flirted with Advanced Settings, but soon discovered most were irrelevant to everyday home use. In conclusion, my fears of setting up a new m/r have proved unfounded. Whatever teething problems I encountered were nothing compared to the impossibility of setting up my old Netgear m/r. I would have happily rated this 5 stars, such was my relief at a successful set-up. However, if reviews are to be fair and mean anything, I have to award 4 stars because this is not a user-friendly installation for Mac owners. That in itself wouldn't have necessarily meant automatically deducting a star. But TP-Link's poor response to my issues which, had they been more serious , may well have left me in the lurch. This has resulted in a final rating of 4 stars. Surprisingly, my old Netgear router is still being sold at the original price I bought it 7 years ago which is nearly 3 times the cost of this one. NB: UPDATE 20/2/13- However, after quite a few month's use, I have to say dropouts have become more common with the TP-Link and I have not really had much luck in upgrading the firmware. The two could be related. Because of this and the issues I mentioned above, I have downgraded the rating for this item from 4 to 3 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is there a physical button I can switch off the wifi?**
A: There is a physical button, but i think is only to reset the wify signal.

**Q: Will this work in Republic of Ireland**
A: I believe that it will; it does work with most EU DSL systems...

**Q: does this work with talk talk**
A: Mine is the AC750 model and I am a Talk Talk customer, it works fine on ADSL. No experience on fibre.

**Q: Is this item wall mountable?**
A: Yes, there are cavities for the heads of (two) screws on the base so there would be no problem wall-mounting it. The cables would then go in at the top, and the two aerials would be in the right position to point upwards in a 'V' formation. The only problem might be absorbtion of signals by a brick or concrete etc. wall so close to the aerials.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by K***T on 9 June 2016*

Este Modem es muy eficiente y fácil de instalar. Mejora por mucho a los modem de Telmex, haciendo la señal un poco más potente y más rápida la conexión del mismo dispositivo. En mi caso solo sustituí el modem de Telmex y coloque este modem y en automático tuve la señal en mis de más dispositivos. La configuración del modem se lleva acabo siempre y cuando se quiera cambiar la contraseña del modem por una contraseña personalizada. La calidad del modem es buena, trae consigo un CD de instalación, un cable UTP y un instructivo. La velocidad de internet se vio un poco más fluida, pero es algo marginal. Se pueden conectar 5 dispositivos a la vez y no presenta problemas de alentamiento. Lo recomiendo 100%.
