When it comes to wireless routing, the first thing that comes to mind for many people is TP-Link, as the first batch of brands to enter this field in China, TP-Link is now the first manufacturer in the domestic wireless routing market, and it is also one of the few companies in China with completely independent R&D and manufacturing capabilities.
 
According to the "2017 Router Field Analysis Report" released by the operator world network, TP-Link occupies the top spot with a market share of 20.7%, which is almost the sum of Xiaomi and Feixun, which rank second and third.
 
TP-Link adopts a multi-brand marketing model, in addition to the TP-Link trademark, Mercury and Swift are all sub-brands of TP-Link, accounting for only about 10% of the total sales, for a long time, Mercury and Swift products are almost exactly the same except for the chassis and TP-Link, but the price is about 20% cheaper.
 
TP-Link has a wide range of wireless router products, the positioning is more complex, most of them are entry routers below 300 yuan, with TL series numbers as the naming method, from high to low can be roughly divided into WTR/WDR/WR/R series, the larger the number of the same series, the more high-end.
 
The WTR series is a tri-band router, Provide 1 2.4G frequency band and 2 5G frequency bands, with a total transmission rate of more than 2600Mbps, which is the most high-end product series of TP-link, with a price of more than 600 yuan; WDR series is a dual-band router, providing a 2.4G frequency band and 1 5G frequency band, with a total transmission rate of more than 1200Mbps, and the price is mostly below 300 yuan; WR series is an entry-level single-band router, including ordinary household routers and portable routers, with only one 2.4G frequency band, transmission rate of 150-450Mbps, and the price is basically below 100 yuan.
 
Most of the high-end products of TP-Link's WTR series do not have much advantage over Lingshi, ASUS and Netgear, and the price is even higher, while the WDR dual-band series has a good price advantage in the same class.
 
WTR9300 as a high-end three-band router of TP-Link, the disc shape is unique, the overall material is 0.1mm aluminum alloy frame, the integrated array antenna technology is adopted, combined into a 3200Mbps rate, supporting 802.11ac Wave2 MU-MIMO technology, one WAN and three LAN ports are gigabit adaptive, but compared with the same level of products of Lingshi and Netgear, the price of 1400 yuan is not advantageous.
 
WTR9200 should be the cheapest three-band router on the market at present, using a full set of Qualcomm solutions, slightly better than WDR8500 with similar prices, supporting 1 2.4G frequency band and 2 5G frequency bands, the maximum transmission rate is 2600Mbps, and at the same time supports MU-MIMO function, which is cost-effective, but for a wireless router with a price of nearly 500 yuan, it is a pity that it is not equipped with a USB interface.
 
The entry-level is recommended to WDR5620 or WDR7300, which are the two wireless routers with the highest sales of TP-Link on e-commerce, both of which are dual-band routes, with higher WDR7300 positioning, and the maximum transmission rate can reach 2100Mbps, which is much higher than the transmission rate of WDR5620 1200Mbps, 2 more antennas, but there is one less LAN port, it should be noted that both models are divided into 100 Gigabit version and Gigabit version, be sure to see it clearly when buying.
