Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number Of LAN Ports: 1 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Wi-Fi Speed: 750 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- General
- Brand: TP-Link
- Model Number: TL-WR902AC
- Product Name: AC750 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router
- Color: Silver/White
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WEP, WPA-Enterprise, WPA-Personal (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Security Features: DoS, SPI Firewall, IP Address Filter/Domain Filter, IP and MAC Address Binding
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number of Antennas: 0
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)

Q: Can this device be connected to my hotel WiFi so I can login with a new secure password
A: Yes, it will connect. There are usually two ways to connect when just using your laptop. First, you connect to the hotel wifi using ssid and password. The second is when you connect directly to the wifi, but then a web page appears and you need to enter informaiton and/or do a confirmation. Both ways are supported. In the router setup, there is a Quick setup option that searches for SSIDs and you can enter a password. You can also define what you want your 2.4 and 5ghz SSIDs to be in the router. However, the travel router cannot process the popup web page in the second case above (there is no screen or keyboard). The prescribed way to support this is to connect to the hotel wifi with your laptop, and then enter the acknowledge info on the web page. Then disconnect from the hotel wifi, connect to your router wifi and select MAC clone under Network. This makes the router temporarily use your MAC address from your laptop. So when you choose Quick Setup, the hotel host already has your MAC address stored, so you don't get the web page login. It works great. I use it all the time at hotels, panera, starbucks. I use the travel router a lot at starbucks. Once I configure it to use my MAC address and run quick setup, I can move from starbucks to starbucks and just plug in the router and it works. No need to re-setup. Whenever I visit a new place like a hotel or panera, I do have to reconfigure, and then reconfigure if I go back to starbucks. I am at starbucks now near Austin. I plugged in the wifi router. By the time I turn on my laptop, the router is ready and I connect to my own SSID which has been bridged to starbucks SSID. Never use a public wifi without a encryption: travel router like this device or a VPN.
Q: How many devices can be conected to this wifi ? I'm interest to buy one
A: We have had 12 devices connected when using the router in a hotel conference room. No issues.
A: No, it won't take a SIM card and you don't need to plug it into the MiFi unit. Using the WISP mode, it can wirelessly connect to one access point (the MiFi) and create a new network for other devices to join.
A: The router provides dual-band WiFi connectivity; however you will need an existing Internet source (i.e. a modem and an Internet plan from a provider) if you would like both WiFi connectivity and Internet access within your home. Regards, TP-LinK Support
Q: Is the router xfinty/ comcast compatible?
A: No, The router is not compatible with Xfinity/ Comcast.
Q: I’m a truck driver, could I use this in my tractor while traveling?
A: Yes, you can. It can be powered over USB. The router will need a cellular connection from a hotspot for your uplink.
A: No, it will take the wireless WIFI provided by your cell phone, AKA: tether WIFI, and broadcast that signal through out a larger area than you phone can. Allowing multiple devices to connect to your cell phone internet, like a Home Computer, Laptop, Printer, etc.
A: You won't with this device, what you want to do is quite a bit more complicated and you will need completely different equipment. Your question is beyond what a Q&A board at BB is going to provide.

Great Little Travel Router - Tether app is EZ
I got this little Travel Router to play around with both at my apartment as a range extender, but also for myself or any of my family members to use when traveling. I can say, that for me setup is extremely easy, but I have setup wireless networks many a time in the past. However, for anyone who can follow instructions, everything you will need to get up and running is in the box. The wifi names and pw’s are on a card in the box, as well as the administrator info so that you can change the network names and pw’s is also on that card in the box. If all else fails, and you accidentally mess something up, forget the admin login or the wifi login, there is a reset button on the device for you to reset it back to factory settings which are the same credentials on that card that shipped with the device. As a router(connected to internet source with ethernet) the device is recognized in the TP-Link Tether application, so rather then opening a browser for admin controls, you can do a lot of things right in the app. However, the app does NOT have the full capabilities as logging in on a browser, but it does have functionality to be able to see how many devices are connected to your wifi, change the wifi name, change the pw to your wifi, and change the admin login to the device itself. Its nice that this can be done in the app, as most people with little to no experience setting up a router will find it easier in the app then in a browser. Hotspot mode is a fantastic feature for this little pocket router, it allows you to grab any wifi signal and create your own network from that wifi. That being said, setting this up needs to be done in a web browser, the Tether app does NOT recognize this device to control it within the app when it is in Hotspot mode. It will see the device if youre connected to it in the Tether app, but will not give you any control over the device. That being said, this is a very nice feature, as it enables you to go anywhere and create your own secured network. You can walk into a starbucks, plug this into a outlet for power, throw it on Hotspot/WISP mode and make your own network to do work on from your computer or phone. Client mode works similarly to Hotspot mode in the fact that it grabs a wireless signal to create a private network, however for client mode you connect YOUR device(Laptop) via ethernet to the travel router and it creates a network from the wifi its grabbing. You can also plug in a USB-A 3G/4G modem and great a private wifi from that, or use this device as a mini portable NAS(kind of...in very limited function)in the fact that it allows you to share files and media through your browser, or allows multiple devices to access the media on a thumb drive when that drive is plugged into the USB-A port. It also allows you to charge your phone from the USB-A port. All in all, I highly recommend this device to any and everyone who finds themselves traveling even occasionally. You can certainly find a use for this device in your home when not traveling(range extender/access point/client), and also know you have piece of mind when you are traveling that you can connect to your own private network. My suggestion would be to do a dry run, and set this up and use it at home before you travel. Connect the devices that you will be traveling with to it at least once, so that when you do travel, the only thing you have to worry about is connecting it to its source(wifi or ethernet) and your devices will connect to it automatically. Dont wait until youre already traveling to have to take the time to learn and configure this device.

very nice travel router with a lot of features
Our startup has been meeting in coffee shops and hotel meeting rooms. We purchased the TP-link to give us an encrypted connection. I am really pleased with the ease of use and amount of options. Connectiong to a wifi bridge by cloning my laptop MAC is what we choose when the access point requires a login page confirmation. The 5ghz connection takes slight longer to connect (or else it is my laptop). I have used this many times in the last few months and completely impressed by the connection quality. It is fast. I supposed it isn't made for 50 connections like a home router (not sure), but we had 10 and it worked great.

Just as advertised, easiest router ever and more!
This is eactly what I needed, it's totally plug and play and configured easily through their companion app. Just a solid tiny router, but you don't even need to plug it in to use it as a repeater, it can even work as a wireless card. I'm on acres point mode and it gives you a 2.4 g and 5g channel of which you can rename both and run them simultaneously? What a great deal!!
