Introduction:

TP-LINK Routers from Dynapower USA

In this upcoming review I will be going over two wireless routers from Dynapower USA. Dynapower USA is a seller of IT related hardware. Back in August 07 Dynapower USA has been officially representing TP-Link’s interests and handling all their marketing activities in the U.S. Dynapower USA will be primarily focusing and promoting TP-Link’s wireless networking gears especially 54 mbps and 108 mbps (Super G & eXtended Range) Wireless LAN routers, access points, adapters, antennas as well as enterprise networking solution products such as enterprise broadband routers, switches and fiber media converters.

Dynapower USA sent over the TP-LINK 54M Wireless AP Client Router and the 108M Wireless Router. Each of the routers have XR, or Extended Range, technology which can increase the range 2 to 3 times the normal 802.11b range. They both are designed for Small Office/Home Office wireless networks, and integrate Firewall, NAT-router and Wireless AP. The 54M Router additionally sports a 4-port switch. Not only designed for the Small Office/Home application but for those of use on a small budget.
