TP-Link TL-WDR3600 N600

Overview

We can’t fault the N600 from a technical point of view, as it performs well and provides all the features that home users and small businesses are likely to need at a competitive price. However, the lack of Mac software and rather daunting browser interface mean that it’s perhaps more suited to business users who know how to make the most of its many features.
