Overview

Two external high power antennas broadcast a single-band wireless N signal from this TP-Link router, which also runs in access point and WISP modes. Wired devices connect through its Ethernet ports.

Choose it for covering modest spaces with simple WPS setup. It does not offer a second band, and the title calls it both an extender and a router.

Who it's for

A few wired devices and standard coverage suit the single wireless N radio. Gamers, heavy streamers and fast-network owners should choose a dual-band gigabit router.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Two external 5dBi antennas
  • Access Point and WISP modes
  • WPS and WPA2-PSK security
  • Wireless N standard
Cons
  • Single band only, no second radio
  • LAN ports limited to 10/100
  • Part number marked UK version
  • Title mixes extender and router

Performance notes

The radio uses only one band, so speed is shared by every device and slows when neighbors' networks crowd the same channels. The external antennas help reach across the rooms of a flat or office. Wired ports are capped at the listed fast Ethernet rate, so file copies between wired machines will not exceed it.
