Very nice for the price! Funtions well, plenty of options to play with in the web-based Admin/Management system. Mine was easy to set up and worked first time out the box. For the price it is a very good value. Also contains a USB print server (which I have not tested). Wireless options and speed are, however, quite basic: so be aware of that limitation if you use wireless every day... If you are looking for a low-cost, quality router (and you don't need fast/regular wireless, don't care about having all the bells, whistles, and never use expert settings and detailed connection stats/data), then this TP-Link product is well worth considering.

Surprisingly weak signal for router this price - I wonder if those antennas are more a gimmick rather than strong functional feature. Has some issues dropping out signal even at moderate range and losing ADSL when upload rates are high, but not too often.

The price was excellent (circa £33) and it is manufactured by one of the most reputable names in the business. It is very easy to set up and works very well. The good points are the price, ease of setup, ability to work with both ADSL and VDSL, and functionality. The advanced menu has a enormous range of options, including using the router as a range extender. The restrictions and limitations rather than bad point are that it is single-band only and the USB will allow only storage devices with the right formats (I don’t think that these include the usual format for a Mac computer - Mac OS Extended). Another minor irritation is that the fairly bright LED display cannot be dimmed or turned off at night. It’s difficult to guage accurately but I do not think that its range is better than a BT Home Hub 5 - perhaps slightly less. For less than £35, you can’t go wrong. Read full review

This modem, in it's v1,v2 or v3 version (but NOT v4) has a rock solid Broadcom chip which gives really stable and consistent connections if you're on FTTC (fibre to the cabinet). If your router doesn't have a modem, this is ideal to use as a bridge connection to your broadband ISP. Just turn off the wireless and DHCP settings which are handled by your main router. In bridge mode mode it uses a fraction over 3 watts, so it's pretty economical. Thoroughly recommended as a modem. I suspect that the wireless features, if used as a full blown router will not satisfy modern needs unless you're a one person user in a bedsit ;-). Just make sure you check the version number before purchase. As of writing the latest version is version 4 and it apparently has a less capable MediaTek chipset.

works well on a poor ADSL line, was down to 6Mb with loads of errors and losses of sync common on two other modems, this is rock solid at almost 8 with no errors and no loss of ADSL! Wireless n not brilliant but setting to a lower channel helps (Its no better than any other 2.4Ghz wifi routers I have tried), not sure if its the receiver or this that is the issue though? Has a guest wifi option to isolate guests from accessing your network that is handy. I have both V2 (more LEDs) and V3 versions of these, both perform just as good! The USB port connected to a HDD provides network storage, again this seems to be working well - Old Huawei samba server USB drive option was hopeless in comparison. This is more suited to smaller homes (not big families) and for those who dont have a brilliant adsl line (Mine had a SN of ~45dB before and 40dB now!). Far superior to the ISPs "free" wifi routers!Read full review
