This review is from: TRENDnet Wireless AC Easy-Upgrader TEW-820AP
Pros:
Small, light and obscure. Can definitely hide it somewhere by your existing router.
Installation is a breeze, just plugs right in, install the software and press the WPS button. Encryption is built in so no need to worry about setting up.
I will explain speeds under cons but over all it provided a very solid connection with all my connected devices.
Cons:
Speed is limited due to the 100 Mbps restriction of the ethernet port. Not sure if this was done deliberately but you really cannot utilize the full potential without having gigabit ethernet capability. Advertised speed is 433 Mbps which you will never hit due to the limitation. That being said this really negates the advantage Wireless AC provides which is speed and range.
Overall Review:
Definitely entry level but not recommended for those looking for a solution to upgrade their older routers.
