All I need is integrated into this unit. For example, all the usual "Dial options" to the internet provider, with DHCP IP reservations, MAC address filtering, and even a small usage statistics for each connected device. Bandwidth controls and parental controls, as well as port forwarding round off the good overall package. And that was not all ...
What delighted me the very low power consumption of only 1.5 watts at full functionality! My previous router "moved" 5.5 watts.
One downer was that you could no longer load without error from the previous version, the configuration file for the firmware update. This required by the faulty Konfigverarbeitung restart the device, then the Settings were there and the router went smoothly again. Therefore, I recommend the update prior to ordering. First, I had also heard a faint high-frequency beeping of the AC adapter ('m quite sensitive). Currently, I notice no more noise.
CONCLUSION to TP-Link TL-WR841N:
I am completely satisfied with this device. It exceeds my expectations. Especially a very simple and fast operation with good functionality I like excellent. That I do not even have to pay 20 EUR including shipping (and my unit was also sent very quickly) make the product in my eyes unrivaled positive stand.
Anyone who is looking for a simple, very fast and powerful wireless router with a great range of functions can be well look no further. As the long-term stability is, I can only judge in a few months.
PS:
Previously, I had similar wireless router on the other (well-known brands) in operation in a private household with two LAN computers and five wireless clients running sometimes simultaneously. Conclusion (Attention, other brands!): One competitor has "eaten" in continuous operation in eight years two power supplies. The other competitor is very sluggish in the menu reaction and has a terrible, high-frequency chirping PSU (Several of these reports here on Amazon): /
