I've heard ths is a solid N wireless modem, I also read I think, that it does not have N Only mode, does this matter?


What I want is a solid ADSL2+ modem with a sold N wireless to compliment my N laptop and N USB DLink adaptor that I use on a WDTV Live 


I have a TG585 v7, works fine, but the v8 is or seems poor on wifi when streaming, heavy activity, or with multi devices. 

All opinions gratefully appreciated on the TPLink above

Cheers

T

It will definitely bet better than the TG585, the TP Link is 2T2R so you should get good N speeds.

I have one of these and they are really solid and reliable. What do you mean by N only mode? Do you mean it can be set only to broadcast in N not b and g? If so then it can indeed be set only to N. Have had mine for few months and it hasn't missed a beat. Can't beat it for the price either.
