When choosing between these models, your decision may lean towards the TL-WR845N V4 if you require slightly better coverage and can accommodate its larger size. For most standard home applications, however, all models are fairly comparable, with the choice largely coming down to the number of required Ethernet ports and slight variations in physical dimensions and power requirements.
