How does this router compare to other popular 3G/4G portable routers such as TP-LINK TL-MR3020?

The main difference is that Sapido BRF71n is not just a 3G/4G router, it is also a Smart Wi-Fi router. Same as Linksys Smart Wi-Fi routers, Sapido BRF71n allows you to do so much more from your Smartphone via a free mobile app: control your router (e.g., firmware update), monitor your room through your webcam (including pictures and video recording), share files among your Wi-Fi enabled devices (e.g., laptop, iPhone, iPad), turn an USB flash drive into a network drive at home or in the office and access it from anywhere, and much more with the lowest price you can find in the market.

Yes it is a good wireless router. N stands for speed 4 times faster than 3G networks. It is switable for home use. 120 means the distance in feet

If U check the TP-Link website... the antennas list dB gain. TL-ANT2414B 14 Db gain. But has short 3' cable, so must be able to be located close to the router. Amazon reviews say really boosts pickup ability of access point. But as Juan said.. the antenna on the router is to broadcast the LAN and receive back from ur computer... not sign onto some other network. The MR3220 gets the WAN from either ethernet (modem connection) or a USB 3G wireless modem.

Very much so. In fact, from the overall feature and rang performance perspective, it still compares well. The user interface is well organized. But could use an upgrade. It is a notch better than the residential routers from the reliability perspective.

I replaced my AT&T; modem with a TP-Link and it was very easy to configure. If you don't have much experience with configuration of routers or wireless just follow the instructions. I haven't had any issues since installation and I've got around 12 devices connected to mine. Hope this helps.

The N300 is a faster router with better band. The N150R works fine it just limited on reach. Mine does not get connection in my garage. As stated by someone else it works fine for gaming when its in the same room I've never had problems on pc gaming or xbox one gaming

Didn't see the specs anywhere, but I'll say it has average range compared to other routers I have, but I'd recommend a small to small/medium home. For the price it definitely has a good range for the value, but if you have a medium or large home i'd say to spend more money for the longer range (this is an older router now). It works perfect in my girlfriend's small/medium apartment. But with any wifi router remember that cement or brick walls kill the range more than regular wood/drywall walls, and the signals get weaker the higher you go above the router, so try to put the router up high if you can.

I have the older model of this router and it works fairly well except it doesn't offer good reception throughout my whole house so if you have a fairly large home I wouldn't recommend you buy it. You should also check to see how many devices in your house even support dual band. Because if they don't you would be better off just buying a cheaper 2.4ghz router instead. My phone is the only device that supports dual band in my home so I wish I would have just gotten a cheaper router.

I have the TREND net AC1750 and have been more than pleased with its capabilities. When buying a new router I did so much research i knew more than the sales people at most retail stores (best buy, office depot). This was the best one available and had a great price at $140. I have a 30MBS internet connection and that is more than enough for streaming on multiple devices at one time. Let me know if you want anymore information...

Hmm I wish I had gotten this one then.Belkin N+ is a good router though and we haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.I would recommend it. But I'm thinking the version2 of this linksys is better.

The answer to that question depends on a lot on factors. Where well this router be located? Forgetting about the term "exact" when it comes to RF, your full effective range will be greater if this router is mounted in a wide open warehouse than in the basement of a 3 story home. That being said this is a nice quality router that you can load 3rd party firmware on (e.x. dd-wrt) and tweak tx pee settings to your liking.

Thanks. I decided to go for it. My parents have the older model and I decided that if it didn't work for me we could trade routers. It ended up working beautifully, and so far I am quite satisfied. I haven't tried out all the new features yet, but I am getting good connection throughout the house.

This is my first experience. I can tell you that other routers have not done a bit of good. Such as Netgear and Linksys. I was very disappointed with those. MY range is excellent with Engenius. I live down in a hole and I have taken my cell phone a good 1/2 mile up the hill and still had connection. Hope this helps

Average i would say. It didnt really impress me in that department. The range was the same as our old linksus wireless G router.

Yeah, that's kinda what I deduced it to. I ended up buying the 655 last week and it works beautifully. I tested my internet connection speed wired and then wireless on a different floor of my house and the wireless was just as fast! Waaaay better than my old D-link G model.

I double checked the router and the manufacturer website specs for this router and it doesn't appear to support the 802.11b protocol, but check your device manufacturer's website you may be able to upgrade the device with a firmware download. the router is worth the hassle for the range and reliability alone. I'm running 2 hardwired and 6 wireless devices with no less than 4 devices online at a given time with no signal or speed degradation

Both routers look great and meet my requirements. SlikLizrd, can you specify how much is one better than the other for: - Wired and Wireless performance - Wireless Range - NAS performance - Media Server performance Thanks
