120 yuan wireless router TL-WR890N out of the box

Before the home is TP-LINK router, although the situation has changed, there have been a lot of smart routers, but they always feel that there is not a lot of applications, use a regular router on it, in the hall, radiation two rooms, not much demand .

However, recently, old products often appear disconnected, probably once a week or so, considering that they have been in service for three years, so they are not angry. Considered a lot, spent 120 yuan to buy a new, that is, the TP-LINK TL-WR890N experienced this time.

This product uses a metal shell, supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n, wireless transmission rate of 450Mbps. Its characteristic is that the aluminum alloy is formed integrally, which can effectively suppress the external transmission of the internal radiative electromagnetic, as well as shield the electromagnetic interference from other external electronic devices, and ensure that the whole machine operates normally for a long time, and the stability is not dropped.

From two antennas to three, using 33 MIMO architecture, three antennas transmit and receive at the same time, which can significantly improve wireless performance, increase signal strength, increase coverage, and enhance connection stability, which I also value.

Some people say that the two antennas, the plastic body, and the intelligent routers that are covered with holes are better, but I still think that it is possible to reduce point radiation, increase signal strength, and enhance point cooling. Isn’t it better? Why do you have to? Smart word it. Moreover, those who are not smart will not have those functions? Not at all.


The box is still big


33 MIMO Architecture


Packaging is very simple, after all, very cheap products, can not be required


Introduced a lot of basic applications, but the installation process is really simplified


Can be tipped but not disassembled


Metal fuselage effect is still very good, anodized, similar to charging treasure shell


The front end is too simple, but we basically do not have to look at the indicator light


Rear interface


Contrast to my old product, the cooling holes are covered with dust


One is metal, one is dense heat sink


The same is true for both charging source specifications and can be used universally


Gray style is rich in technology, and it is still very popular with furniture.


After landing the website, the interface is still very refreshing, you can choose the owner network and the guest network, so do not worry about the password to the other side


Various settings and status at a glance



Connected desktops and phones, because the desktop my wireless card also has an antenna, so the signal is full


For example, wireless bridging, signal conditioning, IP binding, and other small functions have all been applied in the form of applications.


You can also upgrade the software, but it is estimated that you should not use it during the service period.

In general, although the last product has experienced intermittent failures, but after all, it has been a long time, I am very satisfied with its quality, and now buy again, naturally metal body, 3-4 antenna. However, 900 Mbps for four antennas will cost 180 yuan. Think about it or save it. The signal is too strong. I also need to adjust the signal strength, and it is not necessary.
