3. Funzionamento

3.1 Dual Band Wireless Functionality

The TL-WDR4300 operates simultaneously on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless bands. This allows for flexible network management:

• Utilizzare il Banda da 2.4 GHz for devices that require wider range or are older, such as smartphones, tablets, and general web la navigazione.
• Utilizzare il Banda da 5 GHz for bandwidth-intensive applications like HD video streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers, which benefit from higher speeds and reduced interference.

3.2 USB Sharing Ports

The router is equipped with two USB 2.0 ports, enabling various sharing functionalities:

• Condivisione stampante: Connect a USB printer to the router to make it accessible to all connected devices on your network.
• File Condivisione: Attach a USB storage device (flash drive or external hard drive) to share files and media across your local network or remotely via an FTP server.
• Server multimediale: Configure the router as a media server to stream content from a connected USB storage device to compatible devices (e.g., smart TVs, media players) on your network.

3.3 porte Gigabit Ethernet

The TL-WDR4300 features one Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports. These ports provide high-speed wired connections, which are essential for:

• Connecting desktop computers, gaming consoles, and network-attached storage (NAS) devices.
• Ensuring optimal performance for latency-sensitive applications like online gaming and large data transfers.

3.4 IP QoS (Quality of Service)

IP QoS allows you to manage and prioritize bandwidth for specific devices or applications. This ensures that critical applications receive sufficient bandwidth, preventing network congestion and maintaining performance for all users. Configuration is available in the router's web interfaccia.

3.5 Controllo genitori

The Parental Controls feature enables you to restrict access to certain websites or limit internet usage times for specific devices on your network. This helps in managing internet access for children or employees. Settings are accessible through the router's web pagina di gestione.
