Open air around is 2500 sq fit depend the environment.

Very good quality and wifi coverage so far.

If you lost/broken the 8dbi antenna you still can get the replacement accessories 8dbi antenna at the reseller.

Anyone having issues watching streams on twitch.I'm getting buffering constantly even on low quality. Using 30mbps unifi.

How much for the 8dbi antenna?I am the KL people.

Need to see unboxing box for the TL-WR841HP.

If put 9dbi antenna work or not?

Anybody able to make the bandwidth control working with this router?

Yes, one major issue of this router is the IP QoS. Doesn't seems working. Well, go browse through several TP link forum and I've flood them with this question (We're not the only one worldwide). If you're wondering, there's a latest firmware that overcome this issue, but certainly can't get it work with Unifi. Here's the list of firmware I've tried.

1) TL-WR841HP_V1_140214(Unifi&Maxis Fiber) - stock, no issue just have problem with IP QoS
2) wr841hpv1_en_3_15_2_up_boot(150519) - from tplink website, got issue with Unifi
3) wr841hpv1_en_3_15_2_up_boot(141208)_beta - from support (email), got issue in setting up unifi (this is the one that solve the bandwidth control issue) at least user's from other country, not using crappy unifi ofc
4) wr841hpv1_en_3_15_2_up_boot(141116) - from tplink.my website, crappy firmware that cause severe hypptv stuttering and wifi not working on the next day

Despite good coverage, I tend to get major hiccup when pinging the router, may go p to 1k ms sometimes.
Contacted the tp link support and ask she me to gather this and that data. FGS, got get us a latest firmware that has IP QoS working properly and compatible with unifi!!

damn dulan, now like experimental router pulak. anyone have problem on the button of the stock firmware interface? it kept shifting to the left when u hover over it right?

BTW, the toll free number not working, isn't it? I couldn't reach them verbally.

Also, any1 able to make the VOIP (Maxis) working on this router?

I agree.. this is one of the crappy router they produced .
with original firmware or latest beta, both having problem with wifi, either :
1. cant connect at all
2. can connect but no data
3. can connect, ping to router random from 200ms to 1k++ ms..

contacted the support before via website, and they only ask to use the latest beta firmware.

conclusion so far : do not buy, good coverage come with crappy firmware. no alternative firmware can be installed in this router.

I recently got this TP-Link WR841HP with 2x 8dBi antenna. Hardware version is 1.0 with the latest firmware that is non-Beta.
I got it for cheap with coupon so I can't complaint much but if you want a user-friendly and good Web UI, go for the ASUS RT-N12HP. I am not a novice to networking and routers but I find it not user-friendly.

I am not using UniFi/ Maxis IPTV.

Pros:
I got it cheap.
8dBi antenna.
Antenna power amplifier.

Cons:
Web UI is not as user friendly and advance as ASUS RT-N12HP.
Noise level seems higher compared to ASUS.
A bit warm.
No Guest AP.
No Network Monitor.

Can this be used for TIME fibre 100mbps package?

forget about it.

get asus

Did u finally find a way to fix the hypptv?

unfortunately, nope. i didnt touch it since then.

just to share, i flashed one the newest firmware from tplink malaysia website and on hypptv did the re-enter channel number but turned out black only. I left it like that while searching for a fix then suddenly the channel working even if i change channel. wireless performance also good. been testing for one hour only la, I'll update if anything goes wrong

i'm using the v1 router on this firmware

technically,

8dbi antenna is 7.x dbi effect (seven point sth)
9dbi antenna is 8.x dbi effect (eight point sth)
no sharp 8dbi or 9dbi

for omni-directional type antenna, higher dbi means wider horizontal line coverage size
their coverage model is a donut shape, not a ball shape. higher dbi means the donut will get flatter. (from a donut turn into a pizza...)

to see obvious difference, the gap should be at least 3dbi... e.g jump from 5dbi to 9dbi
8dbi to 9dbi seems no major overhaul, but should have little gain at further distance spot

I heard tp-link service centre said temporary have watching Hypptv problem for some area so the new router work as Access Point by using cable connect from old router that mean old router still need to use for watch Hypttv.The TL-WR841HP need to wait future for the firmware coming soon to solve Hypptv.

Never had problem watching hypptv with WR841HP. The only problem is when i want to use hypptv browser i need to unplug network cable from hypptv box
