WARNING: BUYERS BE AWARE!Buyers need to be aware that the reviews that you are reading here are for different routers! There are actually SIX different models (as of 2015), in India, of this "same" router - TL-WR841N version 1, TL-WR841N version 7, TL-WR841N version 8, TL-WR841N version 9, TL-WR841N version 10 and TL-WR841N version 11. And with each "version", TP-LINK has changed the hardware of this router. Naturally, with different hardware, the performance of the router varies a lot. Some of the reviews here are for "version 8" and below, while some are for "version 9" and above. That may explain the discrepancy in the reviews (for example, some have complained that the wifi coverage is "average", while others have said it is "good" or "excellent").OpenWRT page on this router has a table comparing the hardware - [...]PLEASE COMPLAIN TO AMAZON.COM ABOUT THIS and request them to ensure that seller also includes the "version" in the model number, and creates separate product page for each version so that the reviews are accurate and do not mislead us customers.---I bought another one of this router to extend my WiFi. Unfortunately, though the router supports WDS bridging it did not work.That's when I discovered that the two TL-WR841N routers I had purchased were not the same! (TP-Link themselves say that WDS bridging with different router models, from even the same company, may not work). Last year (2014), when I had purchased this router I had got the "version 9" model and this year (2015) I received the "version 10" model.It was irritating - to ensure that I could use both routers and extend my WiFi, I then had to install a beta version of DD-WRT on my older "version 9" model, and use my mediocre router hacking skills to make everything work.----(My first review of the older, "version 9" model is below ...)I had some concerns about buying a cheap modem from a Chinese company. But TP-Link seems to be a multi-national corporation and one of the top 10 players in this field. So I figured I'd take the risk.Bought and received a factory sealed, brand new item from the seller. The parcel packaging was good and the item was undamaged and worked fine as soon it was plugged in. The month and year of import was listed as "July 2014" for the item I received. For those who want to install DD-WRT please note that I received a "Version 9" model of this router, and not "Version: 8" as listed in the Amazon.com description for this router's page. Since I didn't wish to void the warranty by installing custom firmware anyway, it didn't matter to me (the TL-WR841N comes with a 3 years replacement warranty, which is great considering its price).The stock firmware offers a good enough set of options and is easily accessible through a web based interface you can use with any modern browser. The range is decent, but nothing extraordinary. My previous Linksys ADSL modem had a weak signal and thus occasionally dropped connections in the first floor. The signal on the first floor above is still weak, but the wifi connections seem more stable with this modem.Overall, happy so far. Will update this feedback, with additional information on this routers performance, after a few months.Update 1:It's been 9+ months on now since I purchased this router. Since the purchase, TP - Link has released 2-3 firmware updates, and I was safely able to upgrade the router without any issues each time. Performance of the router remains satisfactory. Using it both through wifi and LAN cable, and network connection is stable and good on both. Sometimes it is on for days but it doesn't heat up much at all.Update 2 (Jul 2016):I have added another star based on the following experience - On my recommendation, my friends bought this router too. Strangely, 3 of the 5 routers conked out within 6 months. I reminded them about TP-Links warranty. But 2 of them didn't bother and purchased another router (different brand). The other person contacted TP-Link and told them about this issue. They asked him to ship it to their service centre, which he did. After a week or so, he received a replacement which had a sticker stating "Certified Refurbished" on the box of the router. It worked perfectly. It's good to know that TP-Link honours their warranty.CORRECTIONI had earlier mentioned that I faced network connections issues while torrenting, and suspected it could be because the TP-Link router couldn't handle the number of connections that torrenting sometimes require. But it was an issue due to my ISP.

VERY GOOD WORKS FINE I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE

TP-LINK TL-WR841N 300Mbps Wireless N RouterThe Tp-link TL-WR841N 300Mbps router is actually a good router in terms of pricing and internet connectivity speed which is now provided by modern ISP's having fibre. It can be connected via the RJ-45 Jack present on the back of the router having blue port. In terms of range it performs well according to my needs. I have a 3BHK and 2 storey house and router almost provides effective connection in almost all rooms and kitchen and on the rooms of 2nd floor effectively with as low as 1 bar(very far from the router) and with as high as 5 bars(near the router in my bedroom).I have a good internet connection and I almost connects two to four devices at a time and its bandwidth maintenance is good without any connection failure.So in terms of performance of this router according to the price point I'll give it 5 Stars.PROS are :1)Two powerful antennas :Dual high gain antennas with 5 dBi capacity for better operation at around 100 meters away from the router.2)Compact size : not very bulky kinda look so place it anywhere but be sure to keep it in a open areas or to the place from where you can see most of your rooms in which you will gonna operate and also keep it in a above the ground.3)Wifi toggle and WPS/Reset switch : If you wanna use the wifi of course you should turn the wifi on and if not then with a push of a button you can turn it off.If due to some reason you don't like to mess with the wireless functions then with a push of WPS switch you can connect your wireless devices without accessing the router configuration screens, and without the wireless network security key/passphrase/password.If you forgot your admin password,wireless pass and other security stuffs or you have end up messing with the router the you can prefer to push and hold the WPS/Reset switch for a while which will turn the router back to its original condition.4)Led Indicators : 8 LED indicators constantly indicating you about the router activities with one power then wireless connectivity then 4 for 4 physical LAN ports and one for Internet activity and last for WPS.5)UPTO 300Mbps : Router can handle internet speeds upto 300Mbps(37.5 MBps theoretically but actually supports more than 50MBps connection flawlessly).6)New Features : New features are added in new v10.0 and v11.0 routers having WDS(which helps in making a bridge between two routers to extend the range in all around the house where network is weak) and Guest network ( creating a separate network to share datas with others safely) and Tp-link Tether to control the router wirelessly.7)WPA2 encryption : to secure the wifi network from being hacked or misused by unwanted users.AND more features you will find which I can't explain.....So according to my opinion don't look around in search of best cuz best is here....GO FOR IT!!!Cons : Nothing I've found till using it from about 10 days.So don't loose this.Go for it!!Thanks! have a nice day......

It is good for use but not efficient in speed strength, connectivity is to much unstable, and yes not powerful as other router at this price rangeBUT as price it's good to go."If you need for tv as range extender"
