Dejinta iyo isticmaalka TP-Link Archer C3150 router wireless

Wizard-ka dejinta ee TP-Link Archer C3150 waa mid saaxiibtinimo leh. Waxaad ku bilaabaysaa inaad bedesho magaca isticmaalaha iyo erayga sirta ah ee lagu maamulayo routerka, taas oo ah taxadar weyn oo amniga ah. Kadib, waxaad dejisay aagga wakhtiga, oo dooro nooca isku xirka internetka ee aad isticmaalayso.

Geli^(Enter) faahfaahinta lagama maarmaanka ah ee ku xidhidhiyaha intarneedka (haddii ay jiraan), ka bacdina waxaad dejin kartaa magaca(yada) shabakadaha wirelesska iyo erayga sirta ah. Dhammaadka, waxaa lagu tusayaa kooban oo ku saabsan goobahaaga, waxaadna tijaabin kartaa in internetku shaqeeyo iyo in kale.

Ka dib marka lagugu sameeyo saaxir dejinta degdega ah, waa fikrad aad u fiican inaad gasho interface user maamulka router, si aad u bedesho wax si faahfaahsan. Interface-ka maamulka ayaa u muuqda mid aad u wanaagsan, waxaana loo kala qaybiyaa goobaha aasaasiga ah^(Basic) iyo kuwa sare^(Advanced) . Isticmaalayaasha caadiga ah waxay inta badan la qabsan doonaan goobaha aasaasiga ah, halka kuwa aqoonta leh ay rabi doonaan inay si toos ah ugu boodaan walxaha horumarsan.

Dhammaan goobaha si macquul ah ayaa loo habeeyey, helitaankuna waa sahlan tahay. Dejinta horumarsan waa badan yihiin, waxayna kuu oggolaanayaan inaad shakhsiyayso wax kasta oo ku saabsan hawlgalka router-kan.

Iyadoo luqadda loo isticmaalo dhammaan dejinta aysan ahayn mid adag, qaar ka mid ah goobaha horumarsan ayaa dhib badan. Haddii aad u baahan tahay wax gargaar ah, dukumeenti waa diyaar. Kaliya^(Just) dhagsii ama ku dhufo su'aalaha ka muuqda geeska sare ee midig, waxaadna arki doontaa sharaxaadda dhammaan goobaha ku yaal shaashaddaada. Sidan, way fududahay in lagu ogaado waxaad samaynayso.

Taageerada luqadaha badan sidoo kale waa wanaagsan tahay, iyo is dhexgalka maamul ee isticmaalaha ayaa lagu heli karaa shan iyo toban luqadood.

Mid ka mid ah isbeddellada togan ee dhexdhexaadiyaha dhexe iyo sare ee TP-Link waa in ay hadda ku jiraan qalab ammaan oo horumarsan oo ka socda Trend Micro , oo ay ku jiraan: shaandheynta maaddo xaasidnimo ah, nidaamka ka hortagga faragelinta, iyo karantiilka qalabka cudurka. Waxaan isku daynay inaan galno mareegaha xaasidnimada leh aaladaha aysan ilaalin anti-virus-ka caadiga ah, router-kuna wuxuu qabtay shaqo weyn oo uu xannibay. Nasiib darro, ilaalintani waxay dhacaysaa saddex sano ka dib, ka dib markaa waxaad u baahan tahay inaad iibsato rukunka adeeggan. Ma cadda wakhtigan, inta ay ku kacayso is-diiwaangelintan.

Marka aad dhammayso habaynta router-ka, billow ku xidhida aaladaha wireless-ka ee shabakada. Wax dhibaato ah nagama qabin ku biirista dhammaan noocyada agabka, oo ay ku jiraan taleefannada casriga ah, tablet-yada, laptops-yada, fiilooyinka smart, daabacayaasha wireless-ka, kamarada wireless-ka iyo qalabka ciyaaraha ee Xbox One .

Waxaan ku raaxaysanay xawaaraha dheereeya, gaar ahaan 5 GHz band wireless. Qolalka u dhawaa router-ka, isku-wareejinta shabakadaha WiFi waxay ahaayeen kuwo aad u deggan. Waxaad ku arki kartaa garaafka la sameeyay marka xogta lagu wareejinayo shabakadda, oo ku taal laptop-ka oo la dhigay qol uu ka soocay hal darbi iyo router. Sida aad arki karto, xawaaruhu aad uma kala duwana inta wareejinta la sameeyay, taas oo ah mid aad u fiican.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, markii aan u soo guurnay balakoonka Dhexdhexaadka^{(Medium balcony)} ah , kaas oo ay kala soocaan laba darbi oo router ah, WiFi ayaa ahaa mid la isticmaali karo. Waanu ku samayn kari waynay qaar ka mid ah imtixaanadayada qolkaas, qaarna way shaqeeyeen laakiin leh kala duwanaansho xawli ah iyo dhibciyo, sida sawirka hoose.

Arrin kale oo yar oo aan la kulanay ayaa ah, usbuucayada tijaabada ah, waxaan helnay laba jeer oo xiriirkii wireless-ka uu hoos u dhacay laakiin kaliya taleefannada casriga ah. Laptop-yadayada iyo Xbox One console-ka ayaa awooday inay isticmaalaan shabakadda, halka taleefannada casriga ahi aanay ahayn. Waxaan dib u kicinay router-ka, wax walbana waxay ku soo noqdeen sidii caadiga ahayd. Cilladaha noocan ah waa in lagu hagaajiyaa TP-Link cusboonaysiinta firmware-ka mustaqbalka.

TP-Link waxay hagaajisay qalabkooda si ay ugu daraan qalabyada iyo sifooyinka amniga waxtarka leh. Waxaan jecelnahay horumarada ay sameeyeen, waxaana sidoo kale ku raaxaysanay wareejinta degdega ah inta lagu jiro usbuuca imtixaanada. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, qaar ka mid ah arrimaha xasiloonida yar waa in lagu hagaajiyaa cusboonaysiinta firmware mustaqbalka.^{(TP-Link has improved their firmware to include useful security tools and features. We liked the improvements they made, and we also enjoyed fast transfers during our week of testing. However, some minor stability issues should be fixed in future firmware updates.)}

Unboxing the TP-Link Archer C3150 wireless router

TP-Link Archer C3150 comes in a good looking box, featuring the new visuals of TP-Link's recently redefined brand identity. On the top, you see a picture of the router, alongside some of its most important features.

On the back side of the box, there is a more detailed presentation of what makes this model special. Open the box, and you first see the wireless router and the power adapter.

When you unbox everything, you find the following items: the router, a short network cable, a large power adapter like those you find on laptops, the four external antennas which are detachable, technical support information, the quick installation guide, and other leaflets.

The unboxing experience is short and pleasant. Inside the packaging, you have all the elements required to set up and use this wireless router.

Hardware specifications and design

TP-Link Archer C3150 is an older model that was initially launched in 2015. However, it has been refreshed, and we tested the version 2.0 variant, that has updated specs and hardware. The version 2.0 has a dual-core Broadcom BCM4709C0 processor, running at 1.4 GHz, 32 MB of storage space for the firmware, and 256 MB of RAM. TP-Link also brags about offering two separate co-processors, one for each wireless band: Broadcom BCM4366 for the 5 GHz band, and Broadcom BCM4366 for the 2.4 GHz band.

The four external antennas are detachable and help it provide a total maximum bandwidth of 2167 Mbps on the 5 GHz wireless band, and of 1000 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. Since this is a refreshed model, it comes with support for the latest 802.11ac Wave 2 standard and 4x4 MU-MIMO wireless transfers. It also supports the older 802.11b/g/n wireless standards.

The router looks good. It has an elegant design, with discreet LED lights that are barely visible. Half of its top cover is glossy, and the other half has ventilation grids for cooling the router. The glossy part is a fingerprint magnet. On the bottom, there are two holes for mounting it on walls and further ventilation grids.

On the back, you find the following elements: the internet port, four Ethernet ports working at 1 Gbps, the power jack, and the power button.

On the left side, you have a button for turning the WiFi on and off, the Reset jack, the WPS button, a USB 2.0 port and a USB 3.0 port.

The router is relatively large, having a size of 10.4 x 7.8 x 1.5 inches or 263.8 x 197.8 x 37.3mm in width, depth, and height. It also weighs 72 ounces or 2035 grams.

Setting up and using the TP-Link Archer C3150 wireless router

The setup wizard for the TP-Link Archer C3150 is a friendly one. You start by changing the default username and password for administering the router, which is a great security precaution. Then, you set the time zone, and choose the type of internet connection that you are using.

Enter the necessary details for connecting to the internet (if any), and then you can set the wireless network name(s) and password(s)s. In the end, you are shown a summary of your settings, and you can test whether the internet works or not.

After you are done with the quick setup wizard, it is a great idea to access the router's administration user interface, to change things in more detail. The administration interface looks great, and it is split into Basic and Advanced settings. Casual users will fiddle mostly with the basic settings, while knowledgeable ones will want to skip straight to the advanced stuff.

All the settings are logically organized, and finding your way is easy. The advanced settings are many, and allow you to personalize everything about this router's operation.

While the language used for all the settings is not that complex, some advanced settings are complicated. If you need any help, documentation is readily available. Just click or tap on the question-mark shown on the top-right corner, and you see the description for all the settings that are on your screen. This way, it is easier to know what you are doing.

The multi-lingual support is also good, and the administration user interface is available in fifteen languages.

One positive trend with mid-range and high-end TP-Link wireless routers is that they now include advanced security tools from Trend Micro, which include: a malicious content filter, an intrusion prevention system, and infected device quarantine. We tried accessing malicious websites on devices that were not protected by a traditional antivirus, and the router did a great job at blocking them. Unfortunately, this protection expires after three years, after which you need to purchase a subscription for this service. It is unclear at this point, how much this subscription will cost.

Once you are done configuring the router, start connecting your wireless devices to the network. We had no issues joining all kinds of gadgets, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart plugs, wireless printers, a wireless camera and an Xbox One gaming console.

We enjoyed fast speeds, especially on the 5 GHz wireless band. In the rooms that were close to the router, the network transfers through WiFi were very stable. You can see a graph made when transferring data through the network, on a laptop that was placed in a room separated by one wall from the router. As you can see, the speed did not vary much while the transfer was made, which is great.

However, when we moved to the Medium balcony, which is separated by two walls from the router, the WiFi was barely usable. We could not perform some of our tests in that room, and others worked but with significant speed variances and drops, like in the screenshot below.

Another minor issue that we encountered is that, in our week of testing, we had two occasions when the wireless connection dropped but only on our smartphones. Our laptops and the Xbox One console were able to use the network, while the smartphones were not. We rebooted the router, and everything resumed to normal. This type of glitch should be fixed by TP-Link in future firmware updates.

TP-Link has improved their firmware to include useful security tools and features. We liked the improvements they made, and we also enjoyed fast transfers during our week of testing. However, some minor stability issues should be fixed in future firmware updates.
