Thank you for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. It seems that it is on sale currently on Amazon: amzn.to/2CnLsDC and slightly more expensive at eBay: goo.gl/Vm8P8k Looks like TP-Link is having a sale. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
Hello there, I just set up one of these routers today. And I speed tested it and the results were less than 10mbps! I know it can be faster than this because my old 5 to 6 year old router can even get at least 40mbps. Is there somethin I need to change in the setting or something
hey man, great video. Heres my question, I use 14mbps internet connection. I play a lot of online games and my current router has become too old to handle it. Is this router gonna be ok as an upgrade. As I want to use the lan port to connect to the pc directly. does that 100 megabits create any bottleneck or will it be ok. I do have plans to go 25mbps in the future. So, all in all is this a right choice? thank u.
Just bought the TP-LINK TL-WR940N for £15 second hand, planning on installing dd-wrt on it & using it as an extender with a 50meters cat5e cable, will this give me close to the same speed as my main router? my main router I can get upto 200mbps
It should not be a problem for this router. Here are the links for it TP-Link WR940N Router (Upgraded) At Amazon: amzn.to/2NodxPu eBay: goo.gl/DJEqCT Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Hi sir I have this router connected to my main router. Im planning to place this 2nd router to my neighbor so I can share my internet but if I switch to AP mode then the bandwidth control and guest network is no longer available. I would really like to limit their speed.
Yes, it's still a very good and economical single band router (2.4Ghz) with only one caveat, If you have a faster than 100Mbps internet connection do not buy this router as it only has 100Mbps ports so any extra speed you have OVER 100Mbps on your internet connection would not reach your network clients. Consider this router instead on Amazon(paid) TP-Link AC1200 Gigabit WiFi Router: amzn.to/3NKsHNA If you have a higher than 100Mbps Internet connection the linked router will deliver that speed to your network clients. Thank you so much for commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Thanks for sharing this detailed Review. I've purchased it recently. The problem is my smartphone can't get the Wi-Fi devices list around me, hence unable to connect with the hidden SSID. I've used the wizard to set up quickly Wireless Router option. What might be the problem here? I've disabled MAC or any other filtering. Made SSID as visible. I used those features in my previous ADSL device. Are you using these now?
This is not a cable modem/router combination. It is only a router. You would have to connect to your FIOS unit using a network patch cable like this at Amazon: amzn.to/2AB0sOA or here at Ebay: goo.gl/5DL5Gw make sure you buy a length long enough to reach. Thanks. All the best
Thanks for the great explanation! I'm just wondering if i set this router up as an access point by connecting lan to lan, will the other three lan ports work or will it be purely wifi and no lan.
I just don't get it. If I pay for 100 MB, I have this exact router. Why can't my wifi speeds match my real internet speed? The most I get is 50MB even if it is the only device, and right next to it. Please help.
I get a solid 80-90mbps on mine through WIFI and I get 118mbps straight through the modem. Test your Internet connection using this video: th-cam.com/video/Z17bLYCAo0w/w-d-xo.html You may not be getting the full Internet speed from your provider. Remember all the speeds are theoretical maximums which means in a perfect world. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
@@richardlloydusa Thank you Richard. I did. I think that the problem relies on my setup. I have a modem that functions as a router, I connected my main router to said modem, and a second reouter to the modem as well. I turned off wireless signal from my modem, with the intent of using both mentioned routers only.
In networking you are only as fast as your slowest connection from the client to the server. If you are still going through the slow WIFI router then speed will not be enhanced. I would upgrade the WIFI router if possible otherwise it will always be the bottleneck. Thanks.
thanks for posting this, very informative and i have done exactly as your video as i left my 2 routers as default SSID. i have a question although its not related to this topic directly. perhaps a future video topic maybe what's a good router to use that has the following functions - Parental controls (limit children's activity by both hours or content) - can see what sites are being visited at the router level (some kind of website address activity log) is a netgear nighthawk one to consider?
I don't use those features but most routers at this point have them as well as a logging feature on some. I will need to research this further. Please check the manufacturers website or call support for further information. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Yes it will work with your Internet speed but I would recommend strongly going to a 1GB/s router to maximize what you are paying for. The WR940N router will not give you all the speed you are paying for. Spend a bit extra and go to the next level. I recommend that you use at least the TP-Link AC900 Gigabit Router At Amazon: amzn.to/2X5MEov Or eBay: goo.gl/wrGJ8W If you want a great experience get a TP-Link AC1900 At Amazon: amzn.to/2DK3JvI or eBay: goo.gl/7TbH6T This is the router I use and it has been rock solid for me.
If one device can connect on WIFI then the password or SSID must be wrong on the device that can't connect. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
This router is a lie. if you have a plan greater than 100mbps you will only get 100mbps or less. confirmed from experience and talking with someone from tp link. why it says 450 i have no idea
No it is only a router only but you can purchase a modem separately. Like this one here TP-Link TC7650 DOCSIS 3.0 (24x8) High Speed Cable Modem at Amazon: amzn.to/2UsU1oN or Ebay: goo.gl/8Jnxxf Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
Thank You Richard. I'm now clear on which modem to select for my home need.
New versions doesn't have wireless on/off button, right? Btw, according to DD-WRT homepage, the version 6 it doesn't support dd-wrt firmware.
Great great video!! After watching your video I return my WR940N which I just bought it for a day, replace it to an AC1200, which is $40 also

Ziwei Xie, are you saying you returned the WR940N after using it for one day, and bought the AC1200 instead? Are you happing with your decision?

??
can i use this router as wifi extender

can the Tp-Link TL-WR940N 450Mbps Wireless N Router work alone
hey man, great video.
Heres my question,
I use 14mbps internet connection. I play a lot of online games and my current router has become too old to handle it.

Can you suggest me a router for 50mbps connection ! Budget friendly also.
I have a 2mb internet connection at my apartment, will this router be sufficient to deliver that 2mb speed in the whole apartment.

Does this model supports PoE
Hi sir I have this router connected to my main router. Im planning to place this 2nd router to my neighbor so I can share my internet but if I switch to AP mode then the bandwidth control and guest network is no longer available. I would really like to limit their speed.
is it still a good router to buy ?

Hi Richard can you tell me how to upgrade Belkin n1 routers firmware

does this router have bandwidth control ?
Thanks for sharing this detailed Review. I've purchased it recently. The problem is my smartphone can't get the Wi-Fi devices list around me, hence unable to connect with the hidden SSID.
I've used the wizard to set up quickly Wireless Router option.
What might be the problem here?
I've disabled MAC or any other filtering. Made SSID as visible. I used those features in my previous ADSL device. Are you using these now?
I need this so I can have my own router so I can play 2k😂
Raptorr PlaysMC me 2
So my house has a 1.5 mbps modem, I just ordered this router, will it help the connection speed for the devices I connect it to?
So do you mean you need extra laptop adaptor to connect this router? how to check if I can connect my laptop without extra adaptor?
Is this better than Tenda ac11 ?
It does not have coax input?(screw on connector) which comes over from my fios?
This is not a cable modem/router combination. It is only a router. You would have to connect to your FIOS unit using a network patch cable like this at Amazon: amzn.to/2AB0sOA or here at Ebay: goo.gl/5DL5Gw make sure you buy a length long enough to reach. Thanks. All the best

What if you already have a really slow WiFi router 😩 would it help with gaming if you have another router like this one specifically for gaming?
In networking you are only as fast as your slowest connection from the client to the server. If you are still going through the slow WIFI router then speed will not be enhanced. I would upgrade the WIFI router if possible otherwise it will always be the bottleneck. Thanks.
How many device can be connected to this
thanks for posting this, very informative and i have done exactly as your video as i left my 2 routers as default SSID.
i have a question although its not related to this topic directly. perhaps a future video topic maybe
what's a good router to use that has the following functions
- Parental controls (limit children's activity by both hours or content)
- can see what sites are being visited at the router level (some kind of website address activity log)
is a netgear nighthawk one to consider?
