Can't live up to claimed throughput, June 14, 2008
By user (Calif)
I purchased 2 of these access points. I set them up as a wireless bridge. While the installation was straightforward and the 2 access points linked up quickly, the performance was lackluster.
I realize that the 300mbs throughput would never be achieved in real life, but I was hoping to maybe get 150mbs. What I got was 20mbs. This is with the latest firmware and the 2 units about 10 feet apart.
But what really angered me, was when I realized the ethernet port on these is only 100mb! It's not a gigabit (1000mbs) port. How the heck are they claiming 300mbs with a 100mbs port on it?
I have a lot of experience with networking and I know that in practical terms a 100mb port really only sustains 40-50mbs actual throughput. You have to take ethernet's overhead into consideration.
I called Tech support at Trendnet and explained this to the tech support person. He agreed that it didn't make sense, and offered to escalate my call. But, what's the point?
Needless to say I have returned them.

Works ok but probably would try something else, February 2, 2008
By user (Gaithersburg, MD United States)
Works ok but there are a few nagging problems. Bought this product because I already have a router and wanted to drop wireless devices on my wired network. I have a toshiba laptop with a wireless G card built in and by the end of the day network throughput performance drops off by at least 50%. Tried various options and still haven't resolved. Also, the firmware for this product is not updated as often as the Wireless routers (latest is August of 2007), which makes me think this product is not used as much as the router and does not get the same level of support. Note the manual says it supports NTP but there is no NTP picks on the time menu. For the couple of months I've had this product I've had to reboot 4 times.
