Pros: Powerful WiFi - has better coverage than my old ASUS NT-R66U. Simple and inituitive admin UI. Works ok at stock settings.

Cons: I encountered a serious bug which makes this router useless to me. When I added a DHCP reservation (for a network printer) the router's DHCP server AND DNS quit working - nothing on the LAN will get a DHCP address and web browsing doesn't work. If I take out the DHCP reservation everything starts working again.

Trendnet tech support could not reproduce the problem so they were thinking that I had a bad router. I returned it to Newegg for replacement. The replacement router I received had the SAME issue. The serial numbers between the two units differed by ONE. Trendnet tech support now thinks that there is a "bad batch" out there, and offered to send me one that they have already tested if I buy one off of their website.

I'm going to pass on this offer and move on to another router. I don't want to possibly have to go through an RMA a third time.

One thing that is disturbing to me is that there has only been ONE release of its firmware, the initial version, version 1.00b011 dated 11/2015. New firmware always has bugs. There should have been at least one patch by now.

Other Thoughts: Finding a good consumer router lately is like rolling the dice. The rush to market is clearly showing. What I need is a simple router with the networking basics that has a single but powerful 2.4GHz radio. What I don't need are all of these "fluff" features like "MIMO", "beam-forming" and multiple bands and a gazillion SSIDs that end up not working very well.

Pros: Set up was ok, although I did have to call my Internet provider for a little assistance, but it didn't take no longer than 15 minutes or so and I was up and running.
The settings were easy to navigate through to get everything set to what I needed.
Range is pretty much double compared to what I had previously, especially on the 2.4 ghz band.

Cons: None so far, but I will update if I encounter any.

Other Thoughts: I'm no power user and I will not use a lot of the features this router offers, but for what I need it to do, it does real well. I got the added stability and range that was looking for. The cost was a bit hard to swallow, but I guess you get what you pay for.
I definitely would recommend this router to anyone looking to upgrade.

Pros: - Powerful signal (right now I'm only using the 5ghz signal)
- MU-MIMO
- I primarily use it for gaming, and I have yet to see lag spikes. Solid ping through and through, and this is considering there are TONS of wifi/access points close to me
- Option to enable/disable 2.4 and/or 5ghz signals independent of each other

Cons: -Bigger than I thought it would be
-The initial set up was a bit buggy, but everything ended up working well after a bit of fiddling
- I am unable to use my USB printer on the USB port, it only accepts mass storage as far as I can tell...

Other Thoughts: Would recommend! At least at the sale price.. I got it (luckily) for when it was 189, and I'm very very happy with the performance considering that price. Also, I only know the basics about networking, so take my review with a grain of salt! Either way, I'm happy.
