Totolink A7100RU

Ivory tower

Totolink A7100RU is a high-speed wireless router with an elegant design. It is devoid of external directional antennas, but thanks to the vertical design (there are as many as six antennas inside) it provides a large Wi-Fi coverage area. In addition to separate encrypted 2.4 and 5 GHz access points, you can create another guest one, for example, without a password and with limited Internet speed.

Double-headed percent

The Totolink A7100RU is built on a MediaTek MT7621A processor with two MIPS architecture cores and a frequency of 880 MHz. The operating system uses OpenWrt with a proprietary Totolink shell (the localization of the menu, alas, is not perfect). And enthusiasts will be able to experiment with even more functional unofficial Padavan firmware.

Fast and even faster

Totolink A7100RU has three Ethernet ports and all are gigabit: input WAN and two output LANs. The speed of Wi-Fi wireless communication at different frequencies is a total of 2.5 Gbps. Of these, 800 Mbps is issued according to the 802.11n standard, the new name of which is Wi-Fi 4. In turn, the 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) transmitter is capable of transmitting up to 1733 Mbps to one client device, provided that it is equipped with antennas MU-MIMO 4x4. But if not, then the same speed can be distributed to several clients in parallel.

Network topography

The technology called beamforming significantly increases the range and stability of the Totolink A7100RU signal. It takes into account the peculiarities of the architecture of a residential building or office and allows the radio signal to more efficiently go around walls, columns and other obstacles. A USB 3.0 port allows you to connect an external hard drive to the router, thereby turning it into a network NAS-storage. For avid summer residents or those who need a backup Internet provider in a city apartment, we can recommend the Totolink LR1200 v2 router with a built-in 4G modem.
