Nighthawk
How is the card?
So this was half the price of the Netgear Nighthawk. I found that TP-Link tends to last more than a year. I replaced this a month ago, so time will tell how long this router lasts.Comparisions with the netgear nighthawk is that this is a little slower but hardly noticable. I wish TP-Link had USB3.0 instead of just USB 2.0. I found that TP-Link's firmware does a better job of identifying the distances of devices and adjusting power to the signal accordingly. Negear did not come close to this. I was around 50 feet away and would get a fair signal on netgear. With TP-link I have an excellent signal once it detects my laptop in the room that is further out. For power consumption Netgear Nighthawk I measured at eating about 10-15W. This runs nominally at 4-5 watts. I think the netgear's issue on power consumption is that it has a dual core 1 Ghz Processor.I will update my review as the months past and this router performs. So far it's working great, but as like most routers the first 3 months are the honeymoon. The problems coming 6 months or so later ;).
