 The bet router ever -- at least v1.1 August 10, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've gone through a couple dozen routers,, including the previous 802.11n draft tew-631 from trendnet. This one is certainly the nicest and fastest of them all. However, there are two caveats: first, you have to get the latest firmware. Second, I originally had one that locked up randomly ever day or two -- ended up RMA-ing it and the new one hasn't locked up even once (AFAICT) in the last 6 weeks. I don't know if it was just a single bad router or if, perhaps, it was a problem that was fixed in the new v1.1 hardware (I'd originally had a v1.0). Anyway, the wireless negotiation is quick, the (new) router has been stable, and throughput is great. It's also nice finally to have a gigabit backbone on the router.
Simply the Best November 2, 2007

Pros: Rate, Range, Features.
Cons: None really - only GIG WAN port is useless at this time.
I only have 802.11g clients at this time - getting full 54 Mbps (all the client can do) with 75% signal at 50 feet and 1 floor away while I was getting half of the rate and signal with old 802.11g router at the same location. WISH Feature is cool and it works.
192.168.10.1 April 19, 2008

192.168.10.1 again 192.168.10.1
That is the address to access the router. Dlink likes to use 192.168.0.1, well that's the address for the Trendnet. Now why is it so important? Because they don't bother to tell you what it is until after you install all this crazy network monitoring crap that you don't need. They force you to use the CD to setup the router, ok fine, if you are a total newbie and have no ideal what you are doing, then I can understand how the CD would help with step by step instructions. I did as the tutorial said and it kept not finding an internet connection. After repeated attempts, I finally found the 192.168.10.1 address online and manually configured the router and it worked instantly. This company needs to just let people know what it is in the manual that comes in the box because not everyone is a router newbie. Wasted 30 minutes of my life on that stupid tutorial. The worst part of it was that it installs some program called Network Magic that stinking takes over your network settings in windows. Fine, but the worst part is that it's a 30 day trial. It's not even that great of a program. Windows is simple and fine, I don't need extra crap on there slowing the computer down. Overall, nothing else to complain about, the router works just like any other router. Please remember to use WPA2 encryption. Good luck and don't forget 192.168.10.1
No real issues... February 10, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've been running with this router for a month now with little to no issues. Setup was mediocre, the average user may need some assistance but its not too difficult. Distance is far superior to my previous D-Link, I'm able to walk 3 houses down without losing a connection (whereas before I wouldn't be able to reach the middle of my driveway). The only problem I ran into was interference with a cordless phone running the same signal, pitched the phone and I've been error free since.
Update after 6 months of use... April 19, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
5 Stars If I could change it! I have this router for 6 months at least now. Not only has it worked great, but I have not had to reset the router once. With my Linksys I had to reset the router once per week. That alone is worth the price I paid not to mention the great increase in speed. (Aug 2, 2008)
It was touch and go for a while.
***** UPDATE to Five Stars -- Working Great! Great distance! No disconnects! Very Fast! Watch movies through PS3, and computer at same time... Great buy! Hope it lasts. (4/20/08) *****
Purchased this router to replace my linksys wireless b which was working fine though I had to reset it about once a week.
My inventory of network cards include: belkin wireless g internal, linksys wireless g usb, two laptops (dell and compaq), one ethernet and one apple g4 all using a comcast isp. I would not consider myself an expert at all. I am an amatuer who doesn't want to pay technical people.
The router installed fine, and the user templates were helpful but clunky.
At first the router kept needing to be repaired, and I could not access the internet.
After about thirty minutes of messing around with the mac address, and other controls to repair, the xp computer connected by ethernet began to work.
However, then I began having trouble getting the various adapters on different xp, vista and mac os working. It took about two hours total from start to finish.
But as of this evening, all computers are working. My son has just successfully connected the wii to the network, and we are going upstairs to work on the PS3.
The apple computer using the "airport" we could not get to work. Since that computer is close to the router, we simply ran an ethernet cable and it immediately worked. I don't yet know what the problem is regarding the wireless.
The router is very fast. Transfers on the network are lightning speed. Movies and music can easily be transfered and play across the network, something I never could do on the wireless b.
I am sure there is more to tell. But as an amatuer I wanted to demystify the process for some who may be hesitant. I'm thinking if I can do it, most any one can.
I will change the rating to a 5 star after I have had more time to see how it works and holds up.
