Buying advice: TL-WR720N or TL-WR740N for wireless AP?

2014-07-11 06:46:36

Region : UnitedStates

Model : TL-WR740N

Hardware Version : V4

Firmware Version :

ISP :

I live in a big two story house, and I need a cheap router which I can use as an AP to give better wifi coverage to its 1st floor. See this post for detailed info: http://forum.tp-link.com/showthread.php?76580-Best-way-to-place-and-position-a-router&p=146032#post146032

My question is which of the given routers will do the job efficiently? I'll use only one AP.

Thanks!

740 or 741 I like 741 for the detachable antenna in case you need a little bit more gain TL sells a 8db replacement with any of these 2 models you will have lots of room to do things in future and you can set it as AP or as a router both will work as extenders
Here is the tuto for AP http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=417

Thanks man, I went ahead with 741. The store I bought it from said they don't keep 720 because not many people go for it due to antenna less design.
