TP-Link TL-WR841ND Wireless-N Router
Cons:None

Pros:Operates without fault for PC and Apple products simultaneously.
Comment:
With other routers we have always had connection problems (requiring router reboot) when connected wirelessly to Apple and PC products simultaneously (Dell Laptop, MacBook, iPad, iPod). Never a problem with this router. Connected to the above plus TV and BluRay player and using all at once, streaming video from laptop to BluRay via router.I've rebooted maybe 6 times this year, due to BluRay player having problems reconnecting after BluRay player crashes due to its own bugs.

Cons: None so far

Updated the firmware requires you to set all the settings back. That's pretty much it. Setup is easy. Very easy.

TP-Link TL-WR841ND Wireless-N Router
Cons: None that I have found.

Pros: Price, Features, Simplicity
Comment:
This WR841ND (ver. 5) is just as good as its big brother the WR1043ND but, the WR841ND is without the USB and Gb ethernet. Both models have 32MB RAM and 400Mhz CPU. At the time of this writing $46 vs $69 comes down to whether you need USB and Gb ethernet or not.Stock firmware is again recommended (and robust enough) as DD-WRT seems flakey, specifically the wireless connectivity with Atheros based routers.

TP-Link TL-WR841ND Wireless-N Router
Cons: changed to dd-wrt and then found out max speed for wireless is 65Mb/s.

Pros: easy install, connected immediately. wireless settings were easy to set.
Comment:
great router that is easy to setup. on a whim i changed to dd-wrt and now am running wireless much slower. am going to leave it as is until dd-wrt firmware is updated for full speeds. make sure to read forums on third party firmware or you will find same issues. am keeping it as i prefer the interface of dd-wrt.

TP-Link TL-WR841ND Wireless-N Router
Cons: - Not much- Runs just a little bit hot- Qos feature may or may not suit you depending on what you need

Pros: - 802.11n and cheap- Long range and stable connectivity- Lots of features- Easy to set up
Comment:
I bought this to replace a d-link dir-615 router. The set up is very easy and trouble free. I have the router sitting on the second floor. My desktop wifi adapter in the next room, laptop on the first floor and another desktop in the basement can all connect to it with good signal and speed. Compared to the d-link, the signal is slightly better.The main reason I bought this router is because of its IP based bandwidth control feature. It let you set up QoS rules to specify a limit on the maximum upload/download speed through wan for a machine in the network, which is exactly what I need. If you are looking for QoS feature that is traffic class based, this router does not have that AFAIK.And the price is rather cheap too, you really can't go wrong with this router.P.S. The model I got does not look like the picture on NCIX website at all. It's more similar to the WR941ND except with only 2 antenna.
