Pros: After 11 months of service, no real complaints.

Cons: Firmware menus aren't as useful as the DD-WRT firmware Buffalo ships with the HP version of this unit.

Overall Review: In addition to this unit, I have several WHR-HP-GN units, which is the high-power big brother to this WCR-GN. The range is somewhat less, and the proprietary Buffalo firmware leaves something to be desired compared to the DD-WRT firmware Buffalo ships on the HP version. For the minimal price difference, my opinion is go with the WHR-HP-GN. But that is more a reflecton on range per dollar spent, and isn't a knock on the quality of this particular model. Useability-wise, this unit is quite reliable and we have zero problems with connection dropouts.

Pros: Inexpensive.

Cons: Only has 2 elements instead of 4, so it takes a LONG time to toast. Didn't last very long before top element burned out.

Overall Review: We received a B&D toaster as a wedding gift and it lasted nearly 20 years before it died. Based on that great experience, it was a no-brainer to buy another one from the same manufacturer. (from another vendor, sorry Newegg) What an incredible disappointment. Anemic performance, short life before element burnout. Wish I could get my money back, but it's past the 1 year warranty. Do yourself a favor and AVOID THIS TOASTER.

Pros: Inexpensive.

Cons: Doesn't like to talk Gig-E with anything other than other TrendNet switches. See other thoughts.

Overall Review: I have a handful of TrendNet green switches in 5, 8, and 16 port models. The 5 and 16 port switches are great. But this 8 port switch absolutely will not link at Gig-E with anything other than one of the other Trend switches I have. All my machines have Gig-E NICs and the 5 and 16 port models make rock solid Gig-E connections. But plugging in those SAME hosts to this 8 port yields nothing but plain old 100 Mbps Fast-E. (Maybe I just got a bad one?)

Pros: Intuitive and responsive web interface, compact design.

Cons: None that I can find.

Overall Review: Bought 6 of these (from another vendor, sorry newegg) to put into the telco closet at some of our branch offices where the cable internet service doesn't completely go down, but slows to a crawl with packet loss. Power-cycling the cable modem restores performance, but the telco closets are locked to everyone but I.T. staff. We (I.T.) had to drive to a problem location just to pull the plug for 10 seconds-- a total waste of time for an already under-staffed department These little gems were the perfect solution, and have saved us at least a dozen trips to remote field offices over the past year.

Pros: Has a long cord and distributes power. What else can you say about a Plain Jane power strip? Also, the power switch is slightly recessed on the side instead of the top, making it less likely to get bumped and accidentally turned off or on..

Cons: None really. Doesn't generate power for free?

Overall Review: Most power strips on store shelves have 2, 3, or 6 foot cords. The 10' cord on this unit comes in handy for longer reaches, without needing an extension cord.

Pros: Sustains wire speed Gig-E without a fuss.

Cons: None found yet.

Overall Review: Got this for $89 (shell shocker daily deal) and because of the cheap price, my expectations were low. I was pleasantly surprised. I also have a $20 TrendNet 5 port Gig-E switch uplinked to this one, and every device gets Gig-E speeds even when traffic has to pass through both switches to reach the destination. My iperf results are consistently 940-950 Mbps, which is about the best you'll get on copper gigabit ethernet. High props, zero complaints. So far, no regrets.
