LinkSys WRH54G user here. currently loving this router for a nice strong signal all around my pad.

 

but it took me 6 hours to configure its DHCP. (yup, even though its supposed to be AUTO-config).

PLDT myDSL ISP.

 

bought this for P1,900 at Speed (SM Baguio), Octagon is selling this for P2,800! WTF?!

Since I am an all Macintosh household, I use one Airport Time Capsule Wifi N router with an Airport Extreme N and Apple Express base station with WDS enabled to expand and distribute the wifi throughout the house. The system is fast enough to support 24/7 bit torrent downloads, transport streamed music and video files and even allow an Apple TV connected to a plasma screen to work without any hitches. Not as cheap as the wifi G routers from CD-R King but the whole thing is so easy to maintain with all Macs around.

can someone post a tplink wifi router review? am planning to buy one

I use tplink in all of my connections. So far I've got the wifi extend range, tplink router, and tplink load balancer. I've also got a linksys wifi router. mamaya ko na lang post mga model. I'm at home kasi and the model numbers are at the office.

 

easy to setup and connect ang mga tplink. also, masmalayo ang range neto compared to the linksys router I have.

 

the load balancer.. wow! i use it for my voip phones para parang redundant ang internet. I've got the 2wan-3lan load balancer. yesterday I tried setting it up as an ftp and webserver. good enough for me! medyo basa-basa lang sa manual on how to designate the static IP for ftp server and the other IP for the ftp server.. in a single router. baka magtaka kayo why it's a bit complicated.. because I connected two DSL modems into a single router.

just an update on this. versus the TPlink extend range wifi router Wr542g and the linksys wrt54g2..

 

yesterday I went to the office to check on the routers. may nakatambak na 3 routers sa office: 1 wifi and 2 dsl router.

 

now I remember why I switched to tplink.. all 3 routers na nakatambak sa office are all bricked linksys routers. I browsed the net on how to unbrick it and according to my readings all I need is a firmware upgrade/flash. problem is the routers I have do not have their version upgrades available so useless pa rin.

 

nubayan.. sa nagtatanong kung reliable ang tplink, go for it. matibay eto. I also have an asus router which has not given up on me yet, still going strong.

 

It's not that I'm a linksys hater, its just that nagkataon lang na yung mga linksys routers ko ay sira na while ang mga natira ay mga tplink routers, an an asus router. oh, and did I mention I'm thoroughly enjoying the load balancer? connection has been stable ever since!

I am currently using Encore wireless router, so far so satisfied with it...no hang-ups, no hiccups with my Smart Bro connection...bought the device at CD-R King , I never thought cheap things won't give you satisfaction at its best

Hi masters, I just need some help with information on routers. Im not a techie. Just a few weeks ago I bought my first router because I wanted to use my laptop in my room, and also I moved my desktop pc in my room also. I bought linksys/cisco products: one antenna-less router of "G" class, i think its the wrt g something. and one usb wifi adapter for my desktop, because my desktop doesnt have a wifi card. OK first mistake: I didnt know that there was s newer technology around, the "N" class. Its supposed to be faster. SO I bought the "G" class wc is the older technology. The "G" class only handles 54Mbps, versus the "N" class' 100 plus. OK. Setup was very easy, I had it running in less than 30 minutes, and I was able to use my laptop with net connection quickly. I got PLDT MYDSL, the cheapest package at P999 offering average net speed of up to 318mbps (or thereabout).

 

So I tried to download stuff...I saw the download speed to be at 26kbps...this is vey slow compared against my former download speeds of 65 or 40kbps when I was using the wires. Is this normnal? Does a wifi router lessen the download speed? The wifi router is in the living room, and im in my room, its a condo so its not farther than 35 feet. Concrete walls. The network connectivity reports Speed: 54MBPS, Connection: Excellent. But the download speed is bad. How come?

 

OK next question. Just this week I found out that in our building, there are several people who use wifi too, and these wireless networks appear on my wireless network list. OK. Now Im experiencing getting "kicked out" of my connection! Like Im using the net, then suddenly I lose my connection. SO I try to "repair"..sometimes i get my connection back again, and sometimes I dont. Those times that I dont get back my connection, I do a restart. Then a windows message appears: "There are other users logged on to this computer. Are you sure you want to turn off?/Restart?" Whats happening here?

 

Windows also says i dont have a firewall. But I do have an antivirus: AVG. Is having a firewall important?

 

Thanks and pacencya na sa very long post. :-) Hope some help is on the way :-)

sounds to me like you connected to the wrong wifi router. have you placed a password and/or ID'ed your router properly?

[wonder69lust]

the best deal for now is the linksys 300N. 3 antennas so its good for older wireless standards.

[kanski]

bought a tp-link wireless router months ago but only found the need to set it up yesterday. i want to set-up it's password which i'm guessing is through the ip address of a website supplied, but all the technical info has gotten me confused.

 

tp-link users: help pls.?
