DD-WRT compatible for $20? SIGN ME UP by JSutherland125 on amazon.com Jun 20, 2012
My local Micro Center has had some of TP Link's products for awhile now. Documentation is sparse, firmware updates don't exist but the device worked well (and it was $15). However, I could not pass this deal up at $20 for a DD-WRT compatible router. Installed ...
 
Still the best buy by N/A on newegg.com May 6, 2012
If you buy the TP-LINK USB wireless adapter to go with this, get the one with the antenna, not the TL-WN727N. The no-antenna adapter gets a very weak signal just 30 feet away in the next room. Whereas the antenna model is excellent, 5 bars at the other ...

great customer service! by boo1 on amazon.com Apr 24, 2012
I was worried when I first read the instruction because I couldn't really do what it said since I only have a laptop, so I contacted the company via e-mail and I've got the instruction right away. Victoria was very patient with me and went though with ...

Bought to make the Master Bedroom solid to support Optimum PC app. Tried using the existing firmware and the latest update and it never worked right. I got a V4 unit and the DD-WRT flash was recently released. The only problem seems to be that the ethernet ...

NO SETUP SOFTWARE FOR MAC OS!!! by james lancaster on amazon.com Jun 28, 2012
As for the quality of the router, I am unable to say. While reading the Quick Installation Guide I discovered that the setup software on the provided CD was for windows only. The guide stated, "If you are running Linux/Mac or without a CD-ROM, please ...
 
Doesnt' stream video reliably by N/A on newegg.com Dec 5, 2011
If all you need is faster data transfers, it may be fine, but don't buy this if you need to stream video. I bought this on Black Friday 2011 to replace my Linksys WRT54G. Big mistake. The signal constantly goes out when streaming video. I would like ...
 
not working!!! by Yung Jun Cho on amazon.com Apr 17, 2012
It did not work with any of modem. My brother in law is a computer expert, he said it does not work with modem. I could not use it, so I returned it.
 
Guess I am one of the ones that just got a bad one by B. Buller "Young Money" on amazon.com Dec 22, 2011
I hardly give any bad reviews but this one is. The worst problem was the range. My laptop is on the opposite side and floor of a 2-story house from where the router is. On my current router (the one I wanted to swap out) I get a solid 3 bars, sometimes ...
 
Really out of service by yeisheet on amazon.com Mar 27, 2012
The router I received can not work properly from the moment I plug in on. Several devices can not connect to it.(The android smartphone and the blackberry' The signal is strong.However when quite a number of the devices can not access internet, it is really meaningless to own it any more.

Reviews | TP-Link TL-WR740N Broadband Wireless-N Router (150Mbps) (TL-WR740N)
We tested the router using PassMarks WirelessMon software (www.passmark.com) in a domestic setting, comparing it to an 802.11g router and a higher-specified 802.11n model...The TP-Link TL-WR740N has cut far fewer corners than you might expect for the price...
