Which of these is the better router ?
TP-Link Wireless-N 300Mbps ADSL2+ Modem/Router (TD-W8960N)
OR
TP-Link Wireless-N 300Mbps ADSL2+ Modem Router (TD-W8961ND)

I know W8961 one uses Chinese chips, not sure what the other one uses.

I have their wifi N dongle and it is much better than any i've tried in the past(d-link, edimax).

Also been told that they better than my d-link 2740R ?

It's just for use on my home network and internet grandson on xbox live & online gaming

OK so the advice is keep the one I got and don't get either of them, I must say that the tp-link wifi dongle i'm using knocks spots off the other 2 I tried

The one good think about TP-Link... they generally use higher power outputs and higher gain antennas than most... so yeah, you will get pretty good signal strength

Thats one of the things i'm looking for is a better output, I was quoted that the tp-link w8961 is higher power output and a better gain antenna than my D-link 2740R.

So I'll get one anyway (keep lookout for it in MM)

I will post back here just to let you know how it works out, thanks for the advice.

Well I've ordered a W8961ND and we will see how well it performs.
