Title: Great router, but check the language settings on the "-RO" model.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
The TP-LINK TL-WR841N is a workhorse. I've used various versions of this router for years. The v11.x hardware is reliable and great for setting up a simple guest network or extending a wired connection.
However, be aware if your model ends in "-RO-". My unit arrived with the interface set to Romanian. If you need English, you don't need to return it! Just log in, click the Gear icon (System Tools) on the right, and the language dropdown is usually the first thing you see. Switch it to English, save, and you are good to go.
