If you don't require the 5GHz band and could get by with the 2.4GHz band this an excellent router at a great value IMO. You could upgrade to TL-WR1043NDv2 (version 2, Black cased router) for a few dollars more with the 5GHz band but I prefer this one. I re-flashed the router with dd-wrt so we have more options than the factory firmware provides. So to conclude if you only require the 2.4 band this is a nice value. It has excellent wireless range and low power consumption but YMMV

This is a factory refurbished item and as such, produces excellent quality and value at a reasonable price. It seems to be in like new condition works extremely well for me. I actually bought two and decided to convert one of them into a repeater by replacing the stock firmware with DD-WRT. It was a bit of a chore to get it working correctly as a repeater, but with that job accomplished successfully, it works very well. I have converted several other routers to repeaters in the same manner and all were successful. The TL-1043ND v1 was the most difficult to get working. Since the factory is still selling refurbished units, it would be helpful if they would offer a working method to accomplish the task.

This product runs libreCMC very well, but in order to flash it, you have to change the filename to WR1043v5_tp_recovery.bin and set your IP to 192.168.0.66. It never craps out due to the LuCI interface, and it can handle a busy network with about 200 devices. It doesn't have dual band though, but it can handle hundreds of Mbit/s. It's load average stays under 2 even when viewing graphs.
