TP-Link TL-WR741ND Wireless Lite N Router

At less than $40, the TP-Link TL-WR741ND Wireless Lite N Router is among the cheapest 802.11n routers, if not the cheapest, you can find on the market. It's also the first we've reviewed that supports the single-stream standard and therefore caps at only 150Mbps hence the Lite designation. Other Wireless-N...
