Great for the Price - TRENDnet Cable/DSL 4-Port WIRED Broadband Router August 26, 2008 GringoViejo49 (South Florida) I needed a wired router for 2 home desktop computers. This TrendNet does a very good job at a great price. Documentation is good and I have had no problems at all. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a Wired Cable router at an economical price.
Support is terrible May 15, 2008 Duke (Moses Lake, WA) Router freezes every time an attempt is made to upload a file to the web. Tech support is terrible. After waiting 10 minutes on hold I was able to speak with a tech who barely spoke English. Without trying to diagnose the problem he suggested that it would just be easier for me to return the router. Problem is, it's 6 months old and the store will not take it back. Thankfully the cost was only $35. The last TRENDnet router I'll ever buy.
Fast Router, Easy Setup April 5, 2008 C. Hartel (San Francisco) I bought this Trendnet to replace an old Netgear router, which was still working fine, except it couldn't keep Outlook connected to its remote Exchange server. I suspected that the old router was too slow to handle the RPC over http (Exchange Proxy) connection that Outlook uses, but I wasn't sure. So I was looking for a new and ultra-low-cost router to see if it would fix the problem. This router solved the problem immediately - in fact Outlook connects faster from home now than it does at the office.
This router was easy to install and set up. At first I was reluctant to switch brands because I was already familiar with configuring Netgear routers (I also have a Netgear wireless router configured as an access point.) But I didn't have any trouble navigating the admin screens for the Trendnet. I connected my Netgear wireless router to one port of the Trendnet as a wireless access point and it works perfectly.
(Why two routers? My home office with its several computers is located at a corner of the house - a poor location for the wireless router. So the Trendnet router stays in the office. A cable runs from the Trendnet to a centrally located closet, where the Netgear wireless router lives. Some special configuration of the routers is required for this setup - it's explained on the Netgear web site.)
My only complaint about the Trendnet is the red flashing status light. According to the documentation that came with my router this light was supposed to be green, so I was trying to figure out what problem was causing it to flash red. Eventually I discovered that "OK" is now flashing red, not green. Personally I'd prefer a green light for OK - the flashing red can be distracting.
I hope that this router will prove as reliable as my Netgear routers have been.

I am quite happy with the router - easy to setup, good functionality. Had no trouble whatsoever with it.
Customer service/Tech Service is a joke August 23, 2007 Joe E. Partridge Sr. (Clinton, MS USA) 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I called Tech Service and after holding for five or ten minutes I got a rep. and was told they would need to call me back. I never got a call back. I returned the router.
