TP-LINK USA CORPORATION TL-WR902AC AC750 wireless router

Portable travel router

The TL-WR902AC is a pocket-sized wireless router designed to create a Wi-Fi network from a wired Ethernet connection, a 3G/4G USB modem or a WISP hotspot. It supports dual-band Wi-Fi 5 with combined wireless data rates up to 750 Mbit/s. A single hardware switch selects between router, access point, client, repeater and WISP modes. Power is drawn from any micro-USB source such as a wall adapter, power bank or laptop.

Suited for travellers and temporary setups

This unit suits travellers who need a private Wi-Fi network in hotel rooms or on the move, and users who want to share a 3G/4G USB modem connection wirelessly. It also works for extending an existing network in repeater mode. Buyers who need multiple wired Ethernet ports for desktop PCs, network storage or switches should look at a larger router. The single Fast Ethernet port limits wired expansion.

Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 up to 750 Mbit/s

The decisive specification is the AC750 dual-band wireless standard, delivering up to uru 750 Mbit/s across 2.40 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This determines whether the router can handle HD streaming and typical mobile workloads. Buyers requiring higher wireless throughput or newer Wi-Fi generations should consider other models.
