 I'm happy December 30, 2008
Compared to my linksys router, this thing is terrific.
I am using Trendnet's Wireless N usb module in a computer in a dog house which is about 150 ft from the house. It is going from the doghouse through a couple garage walls to the access point. It works flawlessly.
Not only that but the wireless G part of it also works much better than my Linksys. I have the Linksys closer to my wireless G notebook than the Trendnet AP. The signal strength for the Linsys connection is excellent. The trendnet signal strength is low (keep in mind that it is quite a bit farther away than the linksys), yet the throughput for the trendnet connection is, on average, 3 times higher than the linksys.
You Get What You Pay For December 13, 2008
Upgrading your wireless home network doesn't have to cost a fortune. This TRENDnet gadget is moderately priced and gave my home network a moderate boost in speed and distance. It was simple to set up and I am glad I bought it.
Sure, we'd all love to work with thousand dollar systems that connect your network to the treehouse in your neighbor's backyard, but when you can only afford a system for your 2500 square foot house, this one will work just fine.
Good product...I think December 13, 2008
This is a small device and installation is very easy. Does it deliver on the extended range and speed promised by 802.11n? Many of the other reviewers seem to think so, and I tend to agree since I've been happy with other TRENDnet products in the past.
In my situation, this did not prove to be the case. It only delivered marginally higher signal strength than the existing 802.11g router, and I suffered a lot of drops in my connection. I ended up using a HomePlug/powerline bridge to get a stable connection. But here's why you should take my experience with a grain of salt: for compatibility with older devices, I chose WEP encryption. Just recently I read somewhere that the 802.11n Draft 2.0 standard requires WPA instead of WEP, and that choosing WEP causes it to drop back to 11g mode.
Hopefully, this bit of info helps other people get the most out of their purchase.
Works like a charm November 24, 2008
Plugged this into a Linksys wired 10/100 DSL/Cable 4-port router to add wireless capability for our Wii. I just followed the quick setup instructions and it was working with no problem. WPA/WPA2 security was a breeze to setup.
 Average at best November 22, 2008
I purchased this for my Dell laptop, comcast Internet high speed service, and I live in a 2 story town home with basement. It was fairly easy to set up and it works fine, but I don't see the added boost compared to my super G router. Plus, this router has a habit of slowing down on certain sites. When I switch back to my super G signal, the computer work better and I feel faster. The positive is that the signal is better, but only by a few bars, from very good to excellent. I still believe that you are at the mercy of the router that the unit is plugged into to to get this to work at over 100MB.
Positive: It works, but not any better then my super G wireless router.
Con: It slows the load of a web page on certain sites, seems to hang up. I have to refresh the browser several times.
I would go ahead and buy a new "N" router. I loved the idea of saving the planet by reusing the old router, but this up-grader just doesn't work very well.
