Pros: -Fast
-Good coverage
-Cheap

Cons: -Died after not even a year of using it. I can't connect apple devices to it and half of the time it doesnt broadcast an SSID. It also drops my connection on the devices I can connect to it sometimes. These things only started happening just recently.

Pros: Price

Cons: UNRELIABLE
SLOW
FAILS

Other Thoughts: I bought this router after doing a lot research and I have been let down! The price was not that bad which is what attracted me to it, but after 2 years of owning it, it died! I submitted my request for a warranty replacement today. I will never buy another TrendNet. I should have bought the Linksy.

Pros: Wired gigabit speed was great, I also liked the bright lights and sleek black case and 3 antennas

Cons: the wireless would get speeds only for a few hours after a reboot then would sharply drop to almost nothing. I made sure it was on a clean channel though I don't know if there was some other environmental issues causing symptoms.

Other Thoughts: Would not buy again unless I can find what was causing the wireless to run so bad and fix it.

Pros: The router worked well, gave me great speed while it was in place. Great coverage through my house. I had it positioned in the center of the house and saw it on all floors.

Cons: Router suddenly died after a little over 2 years. Factory reset and long power off did nothing. It doesn't even broadcast a SSID now.

Router tends to be a little warm.

Pros: -Gigabit ports for fast in network transfers
-internet actually seems like its running a bit faster (even though this should have nothing to do with that)

Cons: -drops wired connections from the internet at least twice a day. have to release and renew internet configuration. tried updating FW. that didn't help. Never had this problem with previous router (WGR614). I saw a previous review with the same problem.
-have to log in twice every time to log into router

Other Thoughts: Received as a gift. Was more interested in gigabit than wireless-n. Wireless seems to work well, don't use is that much. I am going to return this and get the Netgear WNR3500L-100

Pros: Easy to set up. Decent wireless range. WPS.

Cons: The LAN LEDs. They are two color: orange or green depending on connection speed. No documentation to say what each color means. You get to figure out that orange is a 1 GB/s connection and green is not. Also, the LAN LEDs do not match the LAN ports on the back of the router. The LAN LEDs are numbered 1 through 4 from left to right. The ports on the back of the router are 1 through 4 from right to left.

No USB or eSATA for networked storage.

Pros: Works great - I've got 3 Roku boxes 5 tablet and 3 computers and some automated home control and this unit work flawless - Easy setup - never had to touch it from first setup

Cons: None so far

Pros: Lots of features
Gigabit
WDS
300mbps wireless N

Cons: Product failed after 2 years. Won't assign addresses through a wired connection anymore

Other Thoughts: I have been very pleased with this router and I bought it here on Newegg. However, a few weeks ago, it all of a sudden will not assign ip addresses anymore. I have a pretty complicated setup and am very technologically inclined. I use the routers WDS feature to connect wirelessly to my DSL modem in another room to provide a wired access point to my home theater system in my living room. I bought this router because of the many features and settings I can tweak and it has impressed me all the while. I plan on replacing this product for another one similar but hope that TrendNet will offer me some sort of an incentive to do so as I bought this two years ago and they show a three year warranty on Neweggs product page. Thank you both Newegg and TrendNet.

Pros: Gigabit, N wireless.

Cons: Failed. Losses connection over hard wire. Tried multiple computers and same result. Very dissappointed.

Pros: NONE

Cons: This product does not work. Period. When I bought it and put it on with my computer, within hours the internet connection went down. I kept trying to use it, but the internet connection would not work. I had my internet provider come out twice as I thought it was that. They could find nothing wrong. So, I disconnected the router.
I finally hired a computer consultant and he took the router home and found out it was defective and does not work.
By this time, it was too late to return it. So, I was told to go to Trendnet. They refuse to take it back. All they will do is exchange it for another worthless router.

Other Thoughts: It may be cheap, but it does not work. I since bought a Netgear router that costs 3 times the price, but it works perfectly without any problems at all.
