Equivalent artifacts from major manufacturers: TP-LINK TL-WR882N Wireless Router

This router had already started in Suning in September 2014. However, it has never been known that Aunt Zhang’s existence had previously existed. It is a pity. The tp router gives the impression of nothing more than three things: stability, shrinking, and affordable. These three seeming contradictions, but perfectly displayed in the tp this has more than ten years of industry experience of the old router manufacturers. The earliest tp router I used was wr740n, which took four years to officially retire. Now that home broadband has been upgraded, smart devices at home have also increased. Obviously, the 300M single-antenna router can no longer meet my needs. At the time, this route sold quite a bit, and tp gave me a good impression, so I started with it. This one.


First of all, I would like to take a positive photo. The blue-blue is very nice. I also added a honey filter 233 to the photo.

LOGO close-up, close to the grid pattern can be clearly seen, very sense of technology.

Then put on the router's ass, wlan mouth and lan mouth are 100M, where slightly Tucao, shrinking the title of the king is not called white, the previous 740n is a reset button, and now this needs to use sharp things (such as a toothpick) poke in.

There are many heat dissipation holes in the back of the router. Everyone can also see the V2 version of the router hardware version V1, 882N has a turbo key.

There are no shortage of manufacturers that have the name of smart routers, but no one can interpret the definition of smart routes. Many functions of the so-called “smart routing” firmware have tp, such as guest timer switch, wireless bridge, QOS, network storage sharing, and IP. Bind with MAC. As for plug-ins such as advertising over the wall, it is also possible, because the free VPN on the Internet is still a lot, go ad adblock on the line.

Wireless bridging is a low-cost solution for enhancing indoor signals. The setting method of the tp router is as follows:

note:

1. Do not connect the network cable between the master and slave routers.

2. WDS bridging only needs to be set on the secondary router. The following operations are all set by the computer connected to the secondary router.

1, modify the management IP address

Log in to the router's management interface, click Network Parameters >> LAN Port Settings, modify the IP address (such as the primary router's IP address is 192.168.1.1, the secondary router is modified to 192.168.1.2), save and restart the router.

2, modify the wireless settings and open the WDS scan signal

Use the modified IP address to log in to the router management interface, click Wireless Settings >> Wireless Basic Settings, set the same SSID number and channel as the primary router, check Enable WDS, and click Scan.

3. Select the main router signal

Find the wireless SSID of the primary router on the scan page and click Connect.

4, enter the password and fixed channel

Enter the wireless password of the master router at the key location. After the input is complete, click Save.

5, set the secondary router's wireless password

Click Wireless Settings>> Wireless Security Settings, select the same encryption method as the primary router, set the same wireless password as the primary router in the PSK password, and click Save.

6, turn off the DHCP server

Click DHCP Server >> DHCP Service. The DHCP server is selected as not enabled. Click Save.

7. Restart the router to check the status of wds

IP and MAC address binding

In daily life, I believe that many people hate the false information sent by fake base stations to mobile phones. Similarly, if someone installs ARP software on a server terminal, it will affect the stability of the network, so this is a very practical function. Let's see how it operates.

Enter ipconfig/all in the command console, and then it will pop up a large number of digits. Then we need to pay attention to the physical address and LAN IP address in the following column of the wireless LAN adapter wlan. Then click Add in the following diagram.



MAC address filtering

All major housekeepers in China know that there is a function of home network management. If someone outside has cracked the password, we can easily kick him out. The principle is that MAC address filtering is applied.

We can see the access device in the wireless network status. If we see an uncommon address, we will copy its MAC address and add filtering in the following diagram.


data transmission

Well, I think the more useful features are introduced here, let's take a look at the wireless transmission rate of this router. The author's router was next to the computer desk in the bedroom. It was separated from the notebook by two walls at a distance of about 10m.

My home Unicom network download is 30M bandwidth, and upload is 6M bandwidth. This achievement can only be reluctant to accept, 2.4G band playing online games is very serious packet loss, like to play games, students still try to pick dual-band routing.

There is also a more practical software for detecting wifi signal strength and transmission rate. The author tested for a period of time and the signal was around -65DB.


Write last

This router has been used for almost two years now. The disconnection is impossible. Most of the internal heat sinks are not very good because of the heat dissipation of the internal casing. The common practice is to remove the router for a while and then connect it. Going up, some people may say that the 886n and 885n of tp are not very different from this one. In fact, external PA and LNA design is one of the series of watersheds. The PA is a power amplifier, which amplifies and outputs the wireless signal. The LNA is a low-noise amplifier and improves the ability to send and receive signals from the built-in transmitting antenna device. This advantage is particularly evident in large houses. In the future, if the home is heading towards 100M broadband, this router is not recommended, and the wireless transmission speed will be greatly restricted. The wireless network is also not affected by multi-device login (five or six computers or three or four mobile phones). Will be too stable, after all, the memory is only 16M, the chip is just the low-end TP9343 of Qualcomm.
