no need for tunnel connections.what about when pc is connected via w8968?also does the connection work simply by connecting lan cable to PC lan port or do you have to dial some connection/login through some web page.

[whitestar_999]

use lan cable to connect w8968 to pc not wifi until you successfully configure it.

 

[AK HIL]

guyz give me an honest review about which one to buy iam totally confused
D-Link 2750U or TP-Link TD-W8968 ?
and why?

 

[SaiyanGoku]

+1 to W8968 for multi purpose USB Port and 5 dBi antennas

 

[ashs1]

+1 to W8968..I've been using it for almost 7 months now..works flawlessly.

 

[GhorMaanas]

W8968. TP-Link has a very good service, atleast at Thane/Mumbai. had been to Corsair service centre twice, which handled DLink service too. most that came there were DLink customers, some having new units too for replacement. plus, check this thread and decide accordingly:

[STRIKE]The 8968 has dummy antennas...[/STRIKE]
Also too many bad reviews regarding WiFi range and firmware ui features

mod edit:no,it doesn't.see this:
Left port where antenna is attached is not working

Now I answer your query. TP-Link TD-W8968 as a 300Mbps Wi-Fi router is definitely using two antennas synchronously in order to apply MIMO. However only one antenna will send out the beacon frames which contains the basic information of the Wi-Fi.
In your case it is the right antenna that sends out the beacon frame. The left one doesn't send any beacons so that the Wi-Fi SSID disappeared once you dis-attached the right one.
Beacon frame is used to show the Wi-Fi so that we can see the Wi-Fi. But not seeing the WI-Fi does not mean the antenna is not functioning.

It covers a 2 floor house sufficiently and I even get signal on terrace above the 2nd floor. What more do you want from a sub 2k home router?

 

[balaji603]

Guys, sorry for posting again in this closed thread. My question is related to the same.

I need to know if the model above (TP-Link) is still better option when considered with other modem+router category.
I am looking to enable wifi to my BSNL provided (FTTH) broadband connection. I googled for wifi enabled FTTH modems online but could not find any good information on that. So if you have information related to that as well please advise me.

Considering future options I am trying to buy modem+router configuration so that it can be reused when I go for different subscriptions.
Thanks in advance.

 

[whitestar_999]

there are no FTTH wifi modems for consumers in India.W8968 is still a better option as it also supports 3g usb modems(do check compatibility list though).you just need to connect lan wire from FTTH modem to one of the lan ports of wifi router(assuming you get connected by simply turning on the FTTH modem).

WiFi range is poor though...
Also too many freezes

 

[whitestar_999]

it depends(firmware version,hardware version,other settings etc),some ppl are running w8968 here 24*7 with no issues.

 

[Techguy]

Just got W8968 v4 from Flipkart.

No issues, strong Wifi range.

Do you have a 740n wireless router...
How is it comparable to that

 

[Techguy]

Nope, I don't have that.
