A:Yes. I have it running as I type.

A:I own two Rokus, 2 Ethernet PCs, 1 Tablet, 2 laptops, 4 smart phones, 2 game consoles, and Wireless Printer without issues, I admit not all running at once but I also had a weekend Family reunion with +20 devices all running at once and no one complained.

A:If you are asking whether you can use this without the routing or NAT functionality, this was a big concern of mine as well. I couldn't find anything anywhere talking about how to do this before purchasing.

I couldn't find anything anywhere talking about how to do this before purchasing. But after I bought it I found an article on the TP-Link website that says to make this work just don't plug anything into the WAN port. Plug your ethernet cables all into the LAN side, then setup wifi and disable the WAN functionality. This works great, and so yes you can use it as a wireless access point without any routing. see less

A:This can work as a repeater. Ive tried using it to connect to my asus rt 66u but it seems to drop connection every 5 minutes or so ajd would require a full reset to get working again.

A:Answer this question

A:Yes, it is compatible with any device capable of receiving or sending information wirelessly using the wireless b/g/n protocol

A:Answer this question

A:Yes it does

A:Cable based modem

A:Answer this question

A:Yes, This is the main use of a router. It come with a Ethernet cable for this use. The software that comes with the unit will walk you thru the setup, and setting up the encryption.

A:No your internet provider would have to upgrade your service. This is for wireless connections.

A:I think you can enter to the server configuration in http://www.tplinklogin.net/ then write your user and password, must be, user: admin/Password: admin

A:Answer this question

A:Yes. I have probably the most basic AT&T plan and bought this unit. It works fine. I may have seen a slight improvement (faster) than my previous Cisco router.

A:You need the TL-WR940ND. The D stands for detachable antennas. It's only a few dollars more.

A:No, this model does not offer a print router function. TP-Link does offer a model with a print router function hence, USB port for this very purpose. Check the TP-Link web site for the exact model number. Hope this helps,

A:I did not have a problem, I received American plug. I would most likely think you were sent a wrong item. I would Return it and order another one.

A:This is a wireless router. You connect it to your internet modem via ethernet cable and it transmits a wireless internet signal. Computers,tablets, smart phones plus more can all connect to the internet without connecting via wire.

A:Answer this question

A:Yes, user friendly access

A:Answer this question

A:Go with the 450. Its 5 bucks more and will serve your needs now and later on when you need it to.

A:I have a 2500 square foot home and I get good signal all throughout the house and outside. Im not sure on exact distance but I would say i get good signal within a 40 foot radius, through walls.

A:Neither. It isn't a cable modem, its a router, IE what you connect to your modem to let multiple devices access the internet.

A:If you are looking for a wifi extender, the WR841N is not the best choice. Type "wifi extender" (without quotes) into the Amazon search box at the top of the page to get some better choices

A:Most wireless routers will not, depending on the construction of your home. It's best to have two (or more if your home is large enough) wifi access points connected by an ethernet cable or something like a powerline adapter that sends a network signal over your electrical lines.

It's best to have two (or more if your home is large enough) wifi access points connected by an ethernet cable or something like a powerline adapter that sends a network signal over your electrical lines. These are usually called "AV" or "HomePlug" or "powerline". This can get a bit complicated, however, because if you want devices on one wireless network to see devices on the other you will have to set one up in "Access Point" mode. This isn't too hard, though, you just don't use the "WAN" port on your secondary wireless router. see less

A:Super Easy!

A:The max is 450 so if you had 5 devices they would each be allotted part of that bandwidth, but.......this device is fast enough to run 10 mobile devices. It is amazing and I am really happy with the price and quality!

A:Comes in several languages reasonably easy to install put in disc and it leads u along

I use it in a 3,000 sq ft home and I have excellent Wi-Fi coverage inside and out. I have successfully steamed video and gamed with both Xbox and PS3 without buffering issues at a distance of approximately 25 to 30 feet from the router. That being said, this is standard compressed HD content and not 4K so I can not say with absolute certainty that it with work for you, due to Wi-Fi being subject to operating and environmental conditions. Port forwarding for successfully gaming seems to be on a case by case basis, I have setup gaming consoles with networks that require forwarding and I have setup the same hardware that does not require it. I can tell you that in my case it was not necessary to port forward this router so I guess I can tell with certainty that "Your results may vary". In the event you need to set forwarding there are very good instructional videos on YouTube. Best of luck with your Tech upgrade ! see less

A:No, it has 8MB of flash onboard, thats where it stores the config.bin file. It is solid, and the neatest feature it has is a power button! But to answer your question, the settings are retained. You set it and forget it!

A:You can set that up in your settings by going to 192.68.1.1 and use Admin as password. Good Luck

A:If you use the wizard on disc provides it should configure easily. Unless your system is complicated. I'm a weekend warrior and did three of them in the last few months. 20 min install.

A:Sure, it's made in China. WOrks in 100-230V 50-60Hz

A:Answer this question

A:I don't see any reason why this router wouldn't work with any cable modem. You would connect the Ethernet out from your cable modem to the router and then connect your devices to the ports on the router to share the connection.

A:Yes - SPI Firewall and Access Control built in.

A:In my case, about 25 feet through 3 interior walls was the minimum needed and it worked. A radio signal test through the outside wall of the home to 50 feet was also adequate should I need WiFi in my driveway.

A radio signal test through the outside wall of the home to 50 feet was also adequate should I need WiFi in my driveway. This particular model was recommended by a friend, a professional cable installer as a good value for the price, given my needs, to replace the marginal one that dropped signal frequently, as furnished under my cable contract. Hope this helps. see less

A:It depends on which router you are using. If you are use just DSL, no because the speed rate is to slow. If you are using Uverse/DSL then yes, it will actually boost the signal range.

A:Answer this question

A:It's TP's own version of firmware, DD-wrt is supported on some models but this isn't one of them as it's hardware version 4.

A:No, it allows pass-through but doesn't work as a vpn server.

A:As long as you can connect it to your modem you should be all set!

A:TP-Link states/claims that the AC-to-DC Power Adapter puts out 12VDC at 1A; so that equals about 12 Watts nominal to the Router. Plus there is the actual power loss in the AC-to-DC Power Adapter itself of 1~3 Watts when the Router is On and In-Use; which is usually always 24/7.

A:I have windows 8 and it works fine for me.

A:Idk

A:This router should work fine. It has excellent range. I have high speed broadband internet (50 Mbs). I can't speak about using it with DSL.

A:I'm using it in Colombia-South America and it works fine.

A:Answer this question

A:Absolutely. As long as your router is configured to work with however you receive internet at your house, any devices connected can utilize programs such as the ones you mentioned and many more.

A:Not sure, but the device is WPS ready

A:yes

A:I have no experience with the unit you mentioned, but I have a 3,000 square foot automotive shop, and with the TL-WR940N I get great connections from one end to the other with no drop out so far.

The router simply passes the traffic through and it has its on operating system or whatever, which is independent of Windows. in fact we changed the operating system on this writer's to the popular DD hyphen wrt operating system which gives you more control over the router. We have computers and cell phones and tablets and cameras all using the router and I really don't think it cares what windows or Apple you use. see less

A:I would think so, I didn't pay any attention to that and use mine with Mediacom and works just fine.

A:Answer this question

A:I am using with 6 devices.

A:Answer this question

A:This is only a router. Your need a modem first to get signal from ISP(Internet provider) then route them out to your computers/tablets/phones.

A:No, it doesn't have battery. You need to plug in.

A:Your welcome...

A:The range is better than I expected. It covers my home and would have full bars from I enter the driveway.

A:Are you saying you had the item shipped to the wrong address? If that is the case, contact AMAZON

A:Yes, in the back, pretty small.
