TP-LINK TL-WR1045ND is a router that can be safely recommended for office installation. If yours is not very large. And of course, he can easily cope with connecting a large number of devices in a private house or in an apartment. This model is perfect for all fans of watching online videos in high quality, for online games and downloading large files.
TP-LINK TL-WR1045ND externally practically does not differ from the popular TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND model. The main difference is in the hardware. The router runs on a Qualcomm processor with a clock frequency of 720 MHz. There are gigabit LAN ports (a separate chip is responsible for the robot). The WAN port is also gigabit. The Wi-Fi network operates at speeds over 300 Mbps. The manufacturer's website indicates a speed of 450 Mbit / s.
According to my observations, this router gives a very good range of Wi-Fi network coverage. It has three antennas. Power of each 5 dBi. By the way, it was on this model that I tested 8 dBi antennas. You can read about the results in a separate article: installation and testing of TP-LINK TL-ANT2408CL Wi-Fi antennas. You can often see comments that the wireless coverage range of this model is really good.
Just want to highlight several features of TP-LINK TL-WR1045ND: powerful hardware, gigabit ports, a USB port, a good Wi-Fi network coverage area, the latest firmware supports 3G USB modems.
A great option for home, so as not to observe constant connection drops, and ping drops under loads. If you do not need Wi-Fi 5 GHz and are satisfied with the price, then you can safely buy. If you need a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network, then you can consider the TP-LINK Archer C2.
Review TP-LINK TL-WR1045ND
The body of the router is made of thick and high-quality plastic, as it seemed to me. The lower part is gray, while the upper, which is dark blue, is made of glossy plastic. Which scratches a little and leaves prints. Above we have a logo, on the front edge there are large indicators that glow green. There is nothing on the sides. All ports and buttons are located on the back of the router.
There we have 4 LAN ports, 1 WAN, and 1 USB (2.0). There is a button to turn Wi-Fi on and off, there is also a separate button to turn off the power, and a WPS / Reset button.
There is everything you need. Well, here's the whole TP-LINK TL-WR1045ND review. Standard equipment: router, antennas, power supply, network cable, disk, and instructions. It is possible to hang the router on the wall.
Opinions about TP-LINK TL-WR1045ND
Reviews on the web are different, but mostly positive. I just don't know if I need to pay attention to customer reviews who complain about the lack of a driver bundled with the router 🙂 If anything, then a driver is not needed for the router.
This is probably one of the few routers that I all liked. Well, almost everyone, there are no rubber feet. A trifle, but they would not hurt. Moreover, the router is not budgetary.
TP-LINK TL-WR1045ND works stably, punches the signal well, looks good, does not heat up, what else is needed. And the price is quite adequate. Yes, it would have one more USB, and support for Wi-Fi 5 GHz, but then the price would be different. And there are other models with such characteristics.
If you have already purchased this model, or are going, then the instructions for setting up the TP-LINK TL-WR1045ND will come in handy. Well, leave your feedback about TP-LINK TL-WR1045ND.
