TP-LINK TL-R402M 4-Port Cable/DSL Router 1 x 10/100Mbps WAN Ports 4 x 10/100Mbps LAN Ports

Pros: Controls my online data flawlessly to my two computers and my Wii. My provider is cable. Windows 7 recognized it and it worked right out of the box.

Cons: None

Pros: Its a friendly easy to configure router

Cons: It is not a dsl router... its a router. I guess im the fool for not looking at the last photo and seeing it is just a router not a dsl router. At least it was reasonably priced.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Customer,

We are sorry about the confusion. The TL-R402M is a router, not a modem. As it is one of our older devices, it is labelled as a "Cable/DSL Router" to convey it's compatibility with those WAN connection types.

We hope you still enjoy the functionality of your router, and we hope this helped to clear up any confusion!

Thank you for Supporting TP-LINK!

Best Regards!

Pros: good speeds

Cons: pretty worthless information given on what's flowing through this router over a period of time

Manufacturer Response:

Dear customer,


The information log is for network analysis and troubleshooting purposes. Trust us, the information is useful, but not always necessary!

:)

Pros: Inexpensive and has been reliable for over 6 months now. And counter to my last review, WOL does work with this router.

Cons: Lack of Gigabit ethernet, or QoS capabilities.

Other Thoughts: I previously wrote that WOL didn't work on this router. I found out that the WOL BIOS settings on my target machine had changed somehow. Now that the BIOS allows it on this system, I can WOL my remote server Ok.

Pros: easy set up... not hard at all to put together

Cons: getting dns errors with ps3 and some other systems

Pros: Low price, and pretty good set of features for a home router.

Cons: Gigabit LAN ports would have been nice, but I guess not at this price point.
Big disappointment has been the lack of Wake On LAN support. I swapped my older Netgear router for this TP-Link. I had a couple of different system on my network that I could WOL. I have this TP-Link configured with the same IP addresses (and obviously the MAC addresses haven't changed) as before, but WOL isn't working. Tried disabling the firewall and that didn't help. Seeing as nothing else changed, I have to assume that it's the router to blame.

Pros: none

Cons: every 20 minute i must restart router i never have a this kind router.i not gonna buy tp-link router again.

Pros: Easy install worked fine.

Cons: dead at 6 weeks

Pros: Small and easy to hide. Inexpensive. Works.

Cons: Manual lacking. CD has quick setup option for other models but not this one. Set up can be difficult (if not impossible) if you don't have experience with this kind of thing.

Other Thoughts: Router and modem had same IP address. Changed router's to 192.168.2.1. Modem's was 192.168.1.1 and router had the same.

Pros: No problems, works great

Cons: You have to somewhat know how to set this up which would apply to any router I think

Other Thoughts: Great price/performance
