## Description

TP-Link N300 Wireless Extender, Wi-Fi Router - 2 x 5dBi High Power Antennas, Up to 300Mbps (TL-WR841N)

Review: Great unit for a great price. What's not to like? Instructions for setting up as a repeater / range extender - Instructions for setting up the TPLink WR841N wireless router as a repeater: This is a great unit for a ridiculously low price. It can be used as a repeater (a.k.a. WiFi range extender). Setting this unit up as a repeater is pretty simple, but the manufacturer doesn't provide step-by-step instructions. I noticed some other instructions posted in these reviews had a number of steps that were not necessary, and were missing some steps. Being an Engineer, I couldn't help but proposing an improvement... These instructions assume you are connecting to a WiFi access point (AP) with a working Internet connection. Abbreviations: [example] = example values used during my setup. Yours might be a bit different. SOURCE-AP = the access point / router generating the wireless signal you want to repeat. REPEATER-AP = the access point / router repeating the wireless signal, the one that we are setting up. SOURCE-NET = the SSID (network name) of the wireless signal you want to repeat. REPEATER-NET = the SSID (network name) of the repeated wireless signal. Before starting, gather the following information: - the LAN/wireless side IP address of the control interface for the SOURCE-AP [192.168.3.1] - the subnet the SOURCE-AP is using on the LAN/wireless side. [192.168.3.x] - the SOURCE-NET name [GROUND] - the encryption type and password [WPA-2 PERSONAL, xxxx] - the channel the wireless signal to be repeated is on. [3] To determine the LAN/wireless IP address and subnet of the SOURCE-AP, look at the IP address and default gateway of a device directly connected to the SOURCE-AP. (Open the Network connections folder, click change adapter settings, and view status and then details in Windows). For the channel, it is preferable to go to the SOURCE-AP and set the channel to 3 instead of "auto" so it does not change, and uses an unpopular channel likely to have less interference. If you don't control the SOURCE-AP (e.g. you are connecting to your neighbor's WiFi), you can find out what the channel is during the setup steps below. Here we go: 1. Plug the power into the REPEATER-AP. If any settings have already been changed on the device, press and hold the reset button on the back for ten seconds until all lights are illuminated to indicate reset happening. Reset is not necessary if the unit is fresh out of the box. 2. Plug a PC into a LAN port on the REPEATER-AP with the supplied LAN patch cable. I used my laptop. Make sure the LAN adapter is set to get an IP address automatically. (Open the Network connections folder, click change adapter settings, and view properties in Windows). Make sure the LAN adapter is the only one enabled. Disable the wireless adapter. 3. Open a browser and go to tplinklogin dot net (replace dot with a . - desertcart doesn't allow URLs here...) or 192.168.0.1, the default address of the control interface of REPEATER-AP. The default username, password is admin, admin. Don't do the quick setup. 4. Click "Wireless" on the left column menu. On the Wireless Settings page that appears: a. Under the dropdown list for "Channel", select the channel the wireless signal to be repeated is on. [3] If you don't know, skip this step and the unit will force you to select the correct one after the "Survey" step below. b. Click the "Enable WDS bridging" checkbox. c. Click "Survey". A list of SSIDs appears. Click "connect" on the one that is SOURCE-NET. [GROUND] All of the fields are automatically populated except for the password. d. Enter the password and click Save. Wait ten seconds for the processing to finish. e. At the top of the page beside Wireless Network Name, enter an name for REPEATER-NET [R1] and click Save. 5. Click "Wireless Security" on the left column menu. Select Personal WPA2-PSK, AES encryption and enter a password for REPEATER-NET. 6. Click "DHCP" on the left column menu. Click the DHCP disable radio button. Click Save. Ignore the reboot warning. 7. Click "Network" on the left column menu. 8. Click LAN. Change the IP address to one in the SOURCE-AP subnet that is not being used by any other device and click Save [192.168.3.200]. A reboot warning will appear. Click OK and let the unit reboot. 9. The address in the browser will magically change to the IP address you entered in the previous step. This is the new IP address for the control interface on REPEATER-AP. You will be prompted to log in again. You should now have Internet connectivity! There is no "half-hour waiting period" others have noted. Perhaps that was due to misconfiguration. Open a new tab in your browser and go to news.google.com to verify. Wireless devices can now connect to REPEATER-NET. Wired devices can connect to REPEATER-AP. Both get Internet access through SOURCE-AP. Ain't life grand? Troubleshooting: It is possible that it may take some time to negotiate the wireless link between SOURCE-AP and REPEATER-AP. Wait two minutes, then refresh the news page. If that doesn't work, power REPEATER-AP off and on. Try news.google.com again. If that doesn't work, wait two minutes, then refresh again. If it still doesn't work, enter the LAN/wireless side IP address of the control interface for the SOURCE-AP [192.168.3.1] in a browser and hit Enter. If you see the control interface for SOURCE-AP, the wireless link is working! Try entering an Internet IP address, like [...] (one of my sites). If you see a page with content loaded, you have Internet connectivity (hooray), but your computer needs to be told a DNS server to use. In Windows, open the Network connections folder, click change adapter settings, properties, IPv4 properties, advanced, and in the Gateway area type in the IP address of the SOURCE-AP [192.168.3.1], click OK, OK, Close and try again. But none of that should be necessary. I have written these instructions with the unit beside me, following my own instructions and it worked first time. I have actually gone beyond these instructions to set up a chain of four of these units to provide wireless coverage from the basement to the fourth floor of a 150-year-old church with stone walls. And it worked! Good luck! P.S. Don't forget to go back in to REPEATER-AP and change the password. The menu item is hiding under System Tools on the left.
Review: Priced right and works in minutes - Just received this Home Router with the ARRIS / Motorola SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem and it took no time at all to hook everything up, sync with cable company and enjoy faster speeds than I was seeing before. The problem started when an aging DOCSIS 2.0 modem/router combo kept dropping internet connection randomly and frequently. Speeds used to be reasonable at 20 Mbps download and 10 Mbps Upload but then after the cable company activated some new cable boxes by sending a signal to the home the problem began and speeds (when working) dropped down to 7 Mbps down and 7 Mbps up. I had attached a separate older router to the modem/router combo which did increase speed but with the constant dropping of internet this was not the solution. I have a Linksys WRT54G2 router that I bought a few years ago and it worked great but now with newer technology and higher demand for wireless this router is not adequate enough for what I need. Signal started to be a problem with this router as it lacks external antennae but when I lived in a 1 bedroom apartment it was fine. I saw the TP-Link TL-WR841N Wireless N300 Home Router was not only more than what I needed but highly liked and reviewed as well as extremely reasonable in price. My old router still costs 3 times as much as this router does. Set-up was super simple. The signal was recognized by my phone, I connected to the network using the password printed on the bottom of the router and went to the set-up page that the quick install directions had instructed me to do. The quick install was very quick without needing any software. Like I said I set up the wireless network from my smart phone. You just have to set an SSID, put in a new password, and save everything and your done. The process was less than 5 minutes including opening the package and plugging everything in. Signal strength was the first thing I noticed as being strong to very strong even two stories above the router which is in the basement. The second thing I noticed was speed. I did not run this router with the older modem so I can not say that it is faster in comparison but the top speed is 300 Mbps which I do not subscribe to but I was getting 40+Mbps download (50 Mbps subscription) and about 15 Mbps upload. This is more than enough to play on XBOX live and stream HD videos to multiple devices without hesitation. I am very happy with this product. ***UPDATE*** After 2 months of use I am still happy with this product. I still regularly see speeds in the 40+ Mbps for download but I average about 35 Mbps, and I see speeds up to 15 Mbps for uploads but average about 13 Mbps. I use the OOKLA app on my Samsung GS4 more often then my other devices, and I am quoting my average and top speeds based on that device but I will note that my iPad and my Mac Mini see slightly higher speeds as I believe the wifi radio is better in those devices. I do see better results also when I am above the wireless router (located in the basement) then when I am at the perimeter of the house. This is actually great news for me as I was worried about the signal not being able to penetrate through 2 floors and remain strong but I see better speed test results in my bedroom (2nd floor) where my Mac Mini, Xbox reside then in the living room (1st floor)where my iPad and GS4 usually are at. More often with my phone lately I am having problems with my wifi dropping because it is telling me that an authentication error occurred. I merely just reselect my home wifi from the list and it connects but then randomly it will give me that error. I looked into it and it appears GS4 phones have this problem but mine just started doing this. I will reset the router and my phone and see if that solves the problem which is a common solution. Other than this small issues, which sounds like my phones problem, I really like this router. For the price it is hard to beat.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this one be used as a WiFi extender? Thanks!**
A: Yes.  Here are the steps in the correct order to do this with the stock firmware.  As other have said, internet access may take a while after setup is complete.1) Plug in the router and turn on the wifi (there is a button on the router for this)2) Connect to the the network being broadcast from the TP-link router (The password is on the bottom of the router)3) Open a browser and type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar4) Click on DHCP and disable it, then click "save" at the bottom5) If you have more than one of these routers or your main routers IP address is 192.168.0.1, click on Network then LAN and change the IP address of the router to some different IP like 192.168.2 click save, reconnect to the TP-Link network and log back into the router by using the new IP address.6) Click on Wireless then Security and change the password for the TP-link network to the same password as the network you are trying to extend. Click save, reconnect to the network with the new password and log in to the router again.7) Click wireless again.8) Change the SSID to the same SSID as the network you want to extend.9) Click the Check box next to "enable WDS bridging"10) Click on "survey" then select the network you want to extend11) enter the password for that network toward the bottom of the page12) Click save13) click OK or agree to the error that will popup about the channel being set to auto. Agreeing to this will let the router set the channel to whatever channel the main router is using.14) The router should disconnect you and you should reconnect to the network you wanted to extend but with better signal strength. It might take a minute for internet access or you might have to restart your laptop and other devices.This was from memory so it should be close but might not be perfect. The order of the steps does matter and is different than TP-Links FAQ answer.

**Q: How many devices will this router handle at one time?  Our current router forces all devices offline for about 5 minutes when there are more than 5ish**
A: My TP-LINK TL-WR841N shipped with a firmware-limited wireless device limit of 15 devices.  The latest firmware version, TL-WR841N_V9_141013 released 10/13/2014, increases the wireless device limit to 30.  Still stupid that the limit exists, but at least it's now at a number I won't reach in the near future.  Here's the URL: http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-WR841N&version=V9  or search for: 841n firmware v9  (or whatever hardware version you have - this will be on the bottom on the router as well as on the box.

**Q: What is "DD-WRT" and why are people putting on this router?**
A: You may not be able to put dd-wrt on the ones shipping from Amazon. Mine was a v9.0. The dd-wrt database supports upgrades up to v8.0. Some have upgraded successfully but complained about the lack of stability.

**Q: Keeps dropping. It's a hidden SSN, WPA2 and will just drop in the middle of a connection,will only come back up after a hard reboot. Help?**
A: Does this happen at a regular time interval? The router's default "lease" time is 2 hours (can be up to 48 hours). Normally this is not a problem, since the device just requests a new lease, but maybe there is something unusual related to your environment with the hidden SSID. Try configuring the router DHCP Settings "Address Lease Time" to 2880 minutes to see if that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great unit for a great price. What's not to like? Instructions for setting up as a repeater / range extender
*by E***C on February 9, 2015*

Instructions for setting up the TPLink WR841N wireless router as a repeater: This is a great unit for a ridiculously low price. It can be used as a repeater (a.k.a. WiFi range extender). Setting this unit up as a repeater is pretty simple, but the manufacturer doesn't provide step-by-step instructions. I noticed some other instructions posted in these reviews had a number of steps that were not necessary, and were missing some steps. Being an Engineer, I couldn't help but proposing an improvement... These instructions assume you are connecting to a WiFi access point (AP) with a working Internet connection. Abbreviations: [example] = example values used during my setup. Yours might be a bit different. SOURCE-AP = the access point / router generating the wireless signal you want to repeat. REPEATER-AP = the access point / router repeating the wireless signal, the one that we are setting up. SOURCE-NET = the SSID (network name) of the wireless signal you want to repeat. REPEATER-NET = the SSID (network name) of the repeated wireless signal. Before starting, gather the following information: - the LAN/wireless side IP address of the control interface for the SOURCE-AP [192.168.3.1] - the subnet the SOURCE-AP is using on the LAN/wireless side. [192.168.3.x] - the SOURCE-NET name [GROUND] - the encryption type and password [WPA-2 PERSONAL, xxxx] - the channel the wireless signal to be repeated is on. [3] To determine the LAN/wireless IP address and subnet of the SOURCE-AP, look at the IP address and default gateway of a device directly connected to the SOURCE-AP. (Open the Network connections folder, click change adapter settings, and view status and then details in Windows). For the channel, it is preferable to go to the SOURCE-AP and set the channel to 3 instead of "auto" so it does not change, and uses an unpopular channel likely to have less interference. If you don't control the SOURCE-AP (e.g. you are connecting to your neighbor's WiFi), you can find out what the channel is during the setup steps below. Here we go: 1. Plug the power into the REPEATER-AP. If any settings have already been changed on the device, press and hold the reset button on the back for ten seconds until all lights are illuminated to indicate reset happening. Reset is not necessary if the unit is fresh out of the box. 2. Plug a PC into a LAN port on the REPEATER-AP with the supplied LAN patch cable. I used my laptop. Make sure the LAN adapter is set to get an IP address automatically. (Open the Network connections folder, click change adapter settings, and view properties in Windows). Make sure the LAN adapter is the only one enabled. Disable the wireless adapter. 3. Open a browser and go to tplinklogin dot net (replace dot with a . - amazon doesn't allow URLs here...) or 192.168.0.1, the default address of the control interface of REPEATER-AP. The default username, password is admin, admin. Don't do the quick setup. 4. Click "Wireless" on the left column menu. On the Wireless Settings page that appears: a. Under the dropdown list for "Channel", select the channel the wireless signal to be repeated is on. [3] If you don't know, skip this step and the unit will force you to select the correct one after the "Survey" step below. b. Click the "Enable WDS bridging" checkbox. c. Click "Survey". A list of SSIDs appears. Click "connect" on the one that is SOURCE-NET. [GROUND] All of the fields are automatically populated except for the password. d. Enter the password and click Save. Wait ten seconds for the processing to finish. e. At the top of the page beside Wireless Network Name, enter an name for REPEATER-NET [R1] and click Save. 5. Click "Wireless Security" on the left column menu. Select Personal WPA2-PSK, AES encryption and enter a password for REPEATER-NET. 6. Click "DHCP" on the left column menu. Click the DHCP disable radio button. Click Save. Ignore the reboot warning. 7. Click "Network" on the left column menu. 8. Click LAN. Change the IP address to one in the SOURCE-AP subnet that is not being used by any other device and click Save [192.168.3.200]. A reboot warning will appear. Click OK and let the unit reboot. 9. The address in the browser will magically change to the IP address you entered in the previous step. This is the new IP address for the control interface on REPEATER-AP. You will be prompted to log in again. You should now have Internet connectivity! There is no "half-hour waiting period" others have noted. Perhaps that was due to misconfiguration. Open a new tab in your browser and go to news.google.com to verify. Wireless devices can now connect to REPEATER-NET. Wired devices can connect to REPEATER-AP. Both get Internet access through SOURCE-AP. Ain't life grand? Troubleshooting: It is possible that it may take some time to negotiate the wireless link between SOURCE-AP and REPEATER-AP. Wait two minutes, then refresh the news page. If that doesn't work, power REPEATER-AP off and on. Try news.google.com again. If that doesn't work, wait two minutes, then refresh again. If it still doesn't work, enter the LAN/wireless side IP address of the control interface for the SOURCE-AP [192.168.3.1] in a browser and hit Enter. If you see the control interface for SOURCE-AP, the wireless link is working! Try entering an Internet IP address, like [...] (one of my sites). If you see a page with content loaded, you have Internet connectivity (hooray), but your computer needs to be told a DNS server to use. In Windows, open the Network connections folder, click change adapter settings, properties, IPv4 properties, advanced, and in the Gateway area type in the IP address of the SOURCE-AP [192.168.3.1], click OK, OK, Close and try again. But none of that should be necessary. I have written these instructions with the unit beside me, following my own instructions and it worked first time. I have actually gone beyond these instructions to set up a chain of four of these units to provide wireless coverage from the basement to the fourth floor of a 150-year-old church with stone walls. And it worked! Good luck! P.S. Don't forget to go back in to REPEATER-AP and change the password. The menu item is hiding under System Tools on the left.

This is actually great news for me as I was worried about the signal not being able to penetrate through 2 floors and remain strong but I see better speed test results in my bedroom (2nd floor) where my Mac Mini, Xbox reside then in the living room (1st floor)where my iPad and GS4 usually are at. More often with my phone lately I am having problems with my wifi dropping because it is telling me that an authentication error occurred. I merely just reselect my home wifi from the list and it connects but then randomly it will give me that error. I looked into it and it appears GS4 phones have this problem but mine just started doing this. I will reset the router and my phone and see if that solves the problem which is a common solution. Other than this small issues, which sounds like my phones problem, I really like this router. For the price it is hard to beat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better performance than expected from a budget router
*by M***N on August 12, 2015*

I've had this router since January 2015 and it has been performing well since then. While I have heard of TP-LINK before, I've never owned any of their products, so I thought I'd give this a try. My previous experience with 802.11n routers was back in 2012 when I was looking for something to replace an old Buffalo WHR-G125 whose wireless radio had died. I bought and tried a lot of different N routers both online and locally, but every N router I tried all seemed to have the same problem, none of them had the same range as the G router I was trying to replace, so I couldn't even use internet in my room at all. I even tried some repeaters and they didn't work well for me either. There are at most 3 walls between the room the router is located in and my room (two ways to reach my room from the room the router is located in) and there's either a bathroom in between or just the hallway. I ended up going back to a tried and true Linksys WRT54GL and that had enough range to reach where I needed it. Fast forward to this year and I was in the market for another router. I wanted to give 802.11n another try since more of my devices also use 802.11n and this was the first router I chose. I mostly got it since I didn't have much money to spend at the time, so I figured for 20 bucks, why not? To my surprise, this router's signal was able to reach my room; awesome! Even though the version of the router I have (v9) is compatible with some third party firmware, I'm still using stock TP-LINK firmware - upgraded to the latest version. With the Buffalo and the Linksys, I used Tomato firmware, but I mostly only had that because their respective stock firmwares didn't allow static DHCP and that's pretty much my biggest need for using third party firmware. TP-LINK's stock firmware has DHCP address reservation built in, which is nice since I want to make sure my devices always get the same IP assigned when connected. One thing I was surprised to see, especially on an inexpensive router is dynamic DNS options. The only thing is, it's limited to only Comexe, DynDNS, and No-IP. I use afraid.org for my dynamic DNS service and unfortunately it's not available on TP-LINK's stock firmware. I'm hoping they'll add it to a firmware update in the future. I have version 9 of this router and the firmware update from October 2014 and newer increased the maximum number of connected wireless devices to 31. I'm not sure what the limit was before then, but I'm sure I reached it before because there were times when we had guests that wanted to use the internet but weren't able to connect. I think a maximum of 31 wireless devices is still a little low, to be honest. Especially these days when every guest who visits has at least a smartphone and sometimes also a tablet per guest. There are currently 13 wireless devices (and can be up to 15, if you count the devices that are powered off right now) connected to my router at the moment and that's just with two people in the house! Those devices include a wireless printer, a portable gaming device, 2 laptops, 2 game consoles, 5 smartphones, 2 tablets, and 2 media streaming devices. The wireless device limit is fine if we have nobody visiting, but it'd be nice if they increase that again. There are a lot of other wireless networks in my area, so it is prone to interference. There's definitely a noticeable drop in wireless internet speed when those other networks are on the same channel, but a quick change to a different channel fixes it. There is an automatic channel selection option, but I manually choose channels 1, 6, or 11 because the Fire TV Stick works better when the router's not on auto. Overall, this is a good router for those on a budget who need to add wireless connectivity. It has good range, stable performance, and just works. I wouldn't recommend it with stock firmware for anyone who needs to connect more than 31 wireless devices - you might be able to increase that limit with third party firmware. For the casual home user, I'd definitely recommend it.
