TD-W8960N V5, a very good ADSL router

I recently installed a TD-W8960N V5 WiFi-router at my father home.

I am very impressed by its features and performance.

Please note, previously I installed and used the W8960N V2 and W8961N routers.
They worked well; W8960N V2 is superior than W8961N, it has a fair amount of features and available settings.

Both W8960N V2 and W8961N have the usual Tp-link like "rough" web interface, providing lots of low level settings with no clear explanations or guide.

TD-W8960N V5 improves the web interface, respect the older models, the interface is better organized, and adds plenty of very useful features.

The preferred features are:
  • Per-user bandwith throttling-- Yes you can sharp the bandwidth!
  • Guest network-- you can create a separate wireless network for guests (your main wifi network is a totally separated network, if you like)
  • Bandwith throttle the Guest Network
These are features I have long waited for, in the low-price router segment.

I have also noted that the wifi connection, at my father home, is far more stable now (less wifi disconnections or hiccups) respect with the older W8961N.

I hope you find these informations useful.
