I have experience in setting up routers, and setting this one up without the Wizard was a piece of cake. The router fired up right away after the setup and worked like a charm, for a month and a half, then it died. Because it's been more than the 30 days of seller warranty, I now have to submit an RMA to the manufacturer. Let's hope that goes well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast router is very close to reaching it's full potential....

I Have been using this for 3 months now and it has been running great without a single problem or reboot. I have devices running on both 2.4GHZ and the 5GHZ frequencies, both work fine except that you can only run the 5GHZ in mixed mode alongside 802.11a. This is a problem as you will never reach the router's maximum throughput when running mixed mode, even so running the 5GHZ band in mixed mode is still faster than running N-only mode in the 2.4GHZ as shown by tests I did using "Performance Test V6.1". I have submitted a feature request to add an option, to run the 5GHZ band in N-Only mode with TrendNet and hope this can be made possible in the next firmware update. As with most 5GHZ routers, range is an issue, you have to be quite close to the router to use this band, but even with 2 Bars I still connect at 150~270Mbps. Adding Hi-gain anttenas can resolve this issue, but its not an option with this router since the antennas are fixed.

The GUI is clean and easy to use however you need to save your changes at every screen. This isnt a big problem since once the device is setup you wont be making too many changes, though a save settings and reboot later feature would have been great. Multiple SSIDs are also great. You can be setup guest access by limiting any SSID to only access your internal network or only the internet, and even setup inter-SSID communication. There are very few consumer level routers that allow you to do this with this much detail. You can also specify different encryption types for each SSID, which is what I did for my wireless printers that can only use WEP. FYI: for the fastest connection speed, you should setup WPA2-AES. Another great feature is the network traffic monitor, that shows utilization for each band and the WAN port. Also let the router choose the channels automatically, which will allow the router to scan all the channels periodically and pick the least congested one. UPnP, Firewall and port forwarding work great and are easy to setup.

Pros:
Very fast and good range.
Simple GUI, unlike many of it's compitetors.
Small, light and attactive form factor.
Runs very cool.
Automatic channel selector.
Good documentation.
Multiple SSID customization.

Cons:
5GHZ only runs in Mixed Mode, though this can change with firmware upgrades.
Power adapter tip is very loose and often gets disconnected with the slightest touch.
Antennas are fixed and not hi-gain.

Overall:
If TrendNet can make the 5GHZ N-Only mode an option via the GUI, then this is a phenomenal router for the price. As it is, it faster than most of its peers, but has the potential to be even faster.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy set-up, short range and many drops
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2010

This had the easiest set-up I had ever seen. It gives you 2 easy-to-find "A" and "N" networks. The A network is intended to stream your media on while not messing up anything going on with the N network you might be using simultaneously. It's a great idea and to an extent it works. At one point I was watching Hulu on N and downloading media files on A. However, the range is very weak. The A wouldn't get a signal in my bedroom, 2 walls and 30 ft from the router. My old 2-wire 2700HG modem gets 5 bars of strength there versus the 3 here. Meanwhile, I was only getting 4 bars with the N. So don't plan on going too far from this router. Also, there were lots of drops. No matter what network you were on, especially the A, you would be surfing the web and pull up a dead page once every 10 minutes. It was really annoying. So I ditched this and bought the Cisco 610N. In my experience with a home network, a law office business network, and in helping my kids as well, Cisco's products have the strongest signals and best reliability so you get what you pay for there. However, Cisco tries to sell you on its software which conflicts with your built-in Microsoft software, and set-up is painfully slow. If you're looking for dual-band networking in an apartment and hate frustrating set-up's, Trendnet's router would probably be perfect for you. But if you've got a 2000+ square foot home and are at least a bit computer-savvy, I would run from this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well and fairly fully featured, especially at the pricepoint
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2009

This router does exactly what it advertises. Concurrent dual-band w/ N speeds and all the features described above (I won't repeat them here). Setup was a breeze, though I didn't use the wizard and you probably don't need to either as it's all fairly intuitive. Set up the 2.4GHz network with the same SSID/auth as my previous router and all our devices worked seamlessly (3 laptops, 1 desktop, 2 Wiis), and all devices that could see the 5GHz band connected easily with WPA2 enabled.

The only feature that I wish was more robust is the QoS prioritization. Under a prioritization model the firmware only allows a setting of High/Low priority, or 2 levels, rather than the customary 4. Also, you can only add three custom QoS traffic types under this setting and if you game online in addition to VoIP and download torrent traffic heavily then you've already used those 3 slots, with no options for more. This being said, it does allow you to setup QoS with bandwidth allocation settings and that seemingly allows for as many settings you might want. However, if you're looking for an easy way to setup QoS for multiple custom traffic types (based on port) then this likely isn't the router for you.

That being said, speeds are still very good. I use torrents on a private tracker and easily get 1.5MB/s down wired, similar to my previous router. The difference here is that it handles the traffic based on my QoS settings without affecting my other connections, so I can easily play games online with torrent traffic in the background and don't notice lag as before.

Wireless speeds are also solid. Depending on positioning and walls the 5GHz signal easily gets everywhere in the apartment (1000 sq ft), and average connection speed is somewhere around 230 Mbps when not in the same room. This is with both internal WiFi cards on ThinkPad T400 and the  TRENDnet 300 Mbps Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter TEW-664UB (Version v1.0R)  which I also purchased from Amazon. 2.4GHz network works as before, which for me is pretty shoddy since I live downtown and there's serious channel congestion here. That was my primary motivation for getting a 5GHz router in the first place and it's done the job admirably. I'm sure, however, that for most people the 2.4GHz band will be just fine.

Overall a great purchase especially for the price at the time. Was 30 bucks less than the nearest competitor online (newegg) and shipping was FAST with Prime! I don't regret the purchase and will by TRENDnet again in the future.
