TP-LINK 150Mbps N router (TL-WR740N) Review

The TL-WR740N has very attractive technological features. With a wireless speed of 150 Mbps the CCA TM technology is able to deliver good quality even in noisy surroundings. You just need to push the QSS button to get encrypted wireless security of your connection. Sensitive video and audio applications will get quality bandwidth with service quality. The TL-WR740N supports SPI firewall and WPA/WPA 2 encryptions. It is also compatible seamlessly with 802.11 b/g/n gadgets.

Description

The TL-WR740N is a combination of wired or wireless devices connected through a network and integrated into a connection-sharing router and a 4-port switch. You will have an 802.11 b&g router based on 802.11 technology and presenting 802.11n performance to bring up 150 Mbps of wireless speed. Just near 11n and going over 11G speed gives a high bandwidth to video streaming applications. The experience of video streaming, VoIP, or internet gaming, is more fluid than before.

Convenient to Employ

The router has a CD which will guide you through the set up process with an Easy Setup Assistant giving a step by step instruction so that you complete your internet connection, wireless network configurations, and security settings. Even new users will be able to make use of this feature to set up the router system without much hassle. You will just have to play the Auto-Run CD provided with the pack to get your network alive and running in no time.

Quick Secure Setup

The QSS Setup –short for Quick Security Setup- is a useful feature which allows quick security setup. Users just need to press the QSS button on their wireless router or they can do so by entering the PIN code on the net card. A WAP 2 connection will be automatically established in a secure manner giving you instant access to a protected network.

Operating with 11n devices

Even if the distances are long, the IEEE802.11n devices give good router connection. The connection will be steady and strong even if any obstacles are in the way which normally make 11g products give weak and unstable connections. The 11n device is also compatible with current 802.11 b/g products.

The router also has additional features like SPI firewall which guards your network against external threats, access control management which aids parents and network administrator in ensuring better control, IP QoS to direct the bandwidth etc.
