Seems ok. reading some of the reviews a few people are using it with the Superhub and its working great for them.

I have it and it performs well. Wireless performance far exceeds the SH

It's a good general use home router, yes. Ultimate, however, I wouldn't quite agree with. Although it may be marginally more Ultimate than the Superhub is Super ;)

nooooo! :( TP-Link are soon to release a beast, they already have one on the market (theres a difference though)

TL-WR2543ND - dual band but can only operate 1 band at a time - on the market
TL-WR2843ND - dual bands able to simultaneously function together - coming sometime this year


I was going to go for that one you've brought a few months back but decided against it waiting patiently for the WR2843ND

Having 5GHz and 2.4GHz but only single band is more of a sales gimmick than a useful feature imo - who doesn't need to have 2.4GHz support (apart from thenry of course if my memory serves me correctly). I suppose you could run an old 2.4GHz AP alongside it. In my case I've no 5GHz kit anyway :(

agreed tp link are longing this out!

i don't really need 2.4GHz but its nice having the standard band functioning instead of having to toy with settings

a d link 615 loaded with DD WRT is a good option for 2.4GHz. that said i'm sure the new upcoming tp link will support something-WRT

5Ghz only is often advertised on home media streamers and other high-bandwidth latency sensitive devices. Aside from that, I agree, it's rarely used on its own.
