Its a great router!!!! Buy if you can!!!, March 25, 2008
By user (NYC USA)
I bought this router at J&R in Manhattan, NY for about $60. All I have to say is that ti is a good buy. Though it is wireless N, I mostly use wireless G. This router is hooked up to a Playstation 3 (WIFI Wireless G), 2 ASUS Eee PCS(running linux...and it works!!!), and an HP Media Center. As far as range, the wireless G can go from the top floor of my house (2nd Floor) to the basement about 60 feet away and it could possibly go farther. The speed is quite good. It makes online multitasking good. It also is good for gaming. I hardly ever lag which is good. The oonly reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the installation. The installation was a little hard considering the installation software did not find the router. (For linux users, you have to configure the router manually via 192.168.10.1. This is because the instalaton disk is NOT linux compatible.) Luckilly, I know how to configure routers so it was fast and easy. For the price, It is pretty good considering other N routers are 100 plus dollars.

Unreliable wireless, March 4, 2008
By user (Portland, OR, USA)
I've used one of these routers for a few days, and although the wired connectivity seems to work fine, I am disappointed with the wireless connectivity. I lose my wireless connection fairly frequently, and sometimes my laptop has a hard time re-connecting. I also tried changing the channel of the wireless, which helped a bit, but it still disconnects too often, in my opinion. Another thing I don't really like is that in its configuration pages, it uses different terminology for port forwarding (port forwarding is set up under "Access", and then "virtual servers"). I tried setting up some port forwarding with it, but it does not appear to be forwarding.
I've set up port forwarding with 2 different routers (a Linksys and a Netgear) without problems, and I've had better wireless connections with other routers. This router has been very frustrating for me.

Decent wireless-n router for the price, November 19, 2007
By user (Pittsburgh, PA)
I bought this wireless router for a small home network. It took a while to set up -- an hour or so initially and then a week's worth of tweaking -- but now it's working relatively reliably.
PROS:
- It's an n router, so it has at least the potential to be as fast as your wired connection.
- Aesthetically, it looks decent.
- Compatible with both Windows and Macs.
- For Windows computers, setup is probably pretty simple (so long as you don't want to fully customize the install) since the router comes with an easy install CD.
- The range is good. I have strong signal throughout my apartment and a good distance outside it as well.
- For the technology, the price is great.
- Nice options for security, whether you want firewalls or encryptions, etc.
CONS:
- For Mac users: It's compatible, but you'll have to go through manual setup, the steps for which aren't yet up on the Trendnet site. For either platform, though, just plug your modem into the router's WAN port, plug the computer into one of the router's LAN ports, then type 192.168.10.1 into your browser's address bar to take you to the manual setup.
- The router disconnected too frequently for my tastes (say, two or three times a day, at least) when I had its n capabilities enabled. The speed was great, but the disconnects weren't worth it. After restricting it to b and g only, the disconnects stopped. While the drop in speed is hardly significant, it is something to keep in mind.
- Constantly blinking green lights on the front are a bit annoying if you keep the router facing you.
