Hello everyone, this is Dong Ngo for CNET.com and today we'll take a look at the Wireless N router TL-WR941ND from TP-Link. This is a very simple router. Basically it is a wireless router that supports Draft N 2.0 specification and not much else. This means no network storage or dual-band support (the router works only in 2.4Ghz frequency), no print serving capability and no gigabit Ethernet, either. All of the router's ports including 4 LANs and one WAN are maxed out at 100Mbps. The TP Link has a typical design for a wireless router of a few years ago: a squarish box with 3 antennae on the back crowding the network ports. Generally we prefer to see routers with more compact designs, where the antennae are hidden inside the casing or at least placed to the side, away from the network ports. On the front of the TP-Link, you will find an array of LED blue lights that show the status of its network ports, the connection to the internet and the wireless network. Also, on the front, near the blue LED lights, the TP-Link has a Quick Secure Setup button. This is essentially its only feature that's worth mentioning: the WiFi Protected Setup or WPS. By pressing this button, you'll start a window time of a few minutes where WPS-compliant wireless clients can join the network without you having to enter the encryption key. In testing, though not the best, the TP-Link did very well in comparison with other Wireless N routers. It also has a very long range. We were able to pick up and maintain a stable connection from up to almost 300 feet away The best thing about the router, however, is its price. At about $60, this is one of the most affordable Wireless-N routers on the market. If you are looking for something simple that works well, you'll probably be happy with the TP-Link. My name is Dong Ngo and this has the first look at the TP-Link wireless N router TL-WR941ND

The good: Simple and responsive Web interface; easy setup; good performance and range; supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup; affordable.
The bad: No N-only mode; mediocre feature set; bulky, dated design; no desktop setup application.
The bottom line: The TP-Link TL-WR941ND Wireless N router is a simple wireless N router with a friendly price. If all you require is a basic network and you have a mix of 802.11N and b/g clients, it does the job for cheap.
