TRENDnet 150Mbps Wireless N Home GREENnet Router TEW-651BR (Piano Black) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bottom line: a good router for a fair price. It will work best on a single floor in a smaller house. Do a firmware update after you get it.
I ordered this sight unseen and just hoped it would work well with my AT&T DSL at home. It does and it does. The set up is good. The setup wizard walks you through most of the important set up steps you need. The one big step that is missing from the wizard is security. I would have expected that the wizard would present me with the option to set up WEP or WPA or something. You can configure the router for these things but not with the wizard.
The form factor is good. It is fairly small and since it is black it can be hidden in the shadows if you need to. :)
The range is not what I'd hoped for but I guess it is to be expected for the size of the unit and the single, small antenna. Coverage on the same floor is good but weak in the basement.
Also, I had a problem with the router where it would simply routing wirelessly. If I plugged my laptop in via an ethernet cable I could manage the router but there was no connecting wirelessly. I'd have to restart the unit to get it working again. Before I called their technical support I checked on line for a firmware update. There was one. I downloaded that and installed it and it seems to have resolved that problem.
