The TP-Link TL-WR940N 450 Mbps Wireless N Router

The TP-Link TL-WR940N is a 450 Mbps Wireless N Router built to provide reliable and high-speed internet connectivity for home and small office environments. It is designed for users who engage in moderate to heavy internet usage, such as HD video streaming, online gaming, video conferencing, and large file downloads, without needing high-end networking hardware.

Wireless Performance

The TL-WR940N operates on the 2.4 GHz frequency band and supports the IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless standards. It delivers a maximum wireless transmission speed of up to 450 Mbps, which is significantly faster than the 300 Mbps class routers. This higher throughput is achieved using MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology, allowing multiple data streams to be transmitted and received simultaneously, improving overall wireless efficiency and reducing lag or buffering.

Antenna and Coverage

The router comes equipped with three fixed external 5 dBi antennas. These antennas help extend wireless coverage and enhance signal stability throughout medium to large-sized homes or offices. The directional range and signal strength allow for better connectivity in areas with multiple rooms or walls, ensuring devices remain connected with minimal drop-off in speed or performance.

Operating Modes

The TL-WR940N supports multiple operation modes to offer flexibility based on user needs:

• Router Mode: Standard mode for connecting to a modem and sharing internet access with multiple devices.

• Access Point Mode: Allows the router to act as a wireless access point when connected to an existing wired network.

• Range Extender Mode: Boosts an existing Wi-Fi signal to expand coverage into dead zones.
