Most Favorable Review

UPDATE: QoS works well for my Vonage adapter.

TRENDnet TEW-691GR 2.4GHz N450 Wireless Gigabit Router up to 450Mbps Wireless Technology IEEE 802.11b/g/n
TRENDnet TEW-691GR 2.4GHz N450 Wireless Gigabit Router up to 450Mbps Wireless Technology IEEE 802.11b/g/n

Pros: ORIGINAL: I selected this router because I believed it would do QoS necessary for my Vonage RT31P2 router to work. I have the Vonage router behind it, flooded my pipe, and had no degradation in the voice quality. Easy installation. UPDATE: Firmware 1.0.0.35 now available on TrendNet web site.

Cons: ORIGINAL: I too ran into the "IP is not in LAN subnet range" issue. Not a huge con, but don't expect to use anything other than a class /24. UPDATE: Tested and working using subnet of /20, /28, and /29.

Overall Review: I've been having trouble with wireless reliability. I have had to power cycle the router about once a week to correct this problem. I'll have a problem where the one wireless device or another on the network won't work until I reset the TEW-691GR. Other wireless devices would continue working. There has been no rhyme or reason to the problem. The laptop won't have wireless, while the iTouch and Palm will; The iTouch won't connect, but the laptop will. I am HOPEFUL that the new firmware corrects this problem. The changelog for the new firmware is not very detailed.

Stable
