TRENDnet TEW-692GR Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N900 Router

Pros: Small foot print, Blazing fast when is setup in Line of Sight (LOS) . Extremely easy to setup. Fast shipping as usual. The setup was a piece of cake.

Cons: Where do I begin? Upon receiving it, I noticed that compare to the Asus RT-N16 this thing is tiny. There is nothing wrong with my old router, but I like to keep up with technology as much as possible. After installing most of my computers and devices to the network I was impressed with the speed but noticed that on my laptop I had four out of five bars and my laptop was only 15 feet from device with LOS). I then moved to my kids computer. One had 3 out of 5 bars and the other 2 out of 5. My bedroom is the furthest one with several walls in between so I knew I was in trouble. I could barely get one bar on my laptop while in my bedroom and my house is not big by any definition. It was like watching the display on my first computer while downloading a simple photo using a 28k dial up connection. People my age would know what I mean.

Overall Review: After a firmware upgrade I am now getting two bars (Woo hoo!). I was going to return it but I figured that after shipping and the 10 or 15% restocking fee why bother. I also thought about buying the TrendNet TEW-684UB adapter, but I shouldn't have to buy adapters so this thing can to do what it should do right out of the box. Not to mention that I would have to buy 3 at $58 bucks each. Besides, carrying a usb adapter with the laptop to increase range defeats the purpose of buying a new router. My only solution was to order a long cable so I can move it to the middle of my house and hope that it will improve the range and speed. In the mean time I connected my Asus RT-N16 to one of the LAN ports on the TrendNet router to use as wireless N only. With the asus I am getting five (5) full bars and 144mbps.

Pros: Security in this router is outstanding as well as the blazing speed. The reach/distance of signal is above average. Set up was simple. I replaced my Wndr3700 with this model and am now using my 3700 as an AP. In terms of performance, speed, and reach this outperforms the 3700. I also have an E4200 in my small office and This is far better, easier to setup and most of all much faster. Overall I really like this router!

Cons: No power switch, No radio on and off switch. Box (packaging) clearly states power switch. Website does state these switches are on this model but they are not.............

Overall Review: As much as I love this router, the lack of a power switch and the lack of a radio switch really is a downer but not a show stopper. Performance is great.

Pros: -Bought this from another site but I'll post the review here anyways. Setup was very easy, took me under 15 minutes using the installation disk and I was it was up and running in no time. I have this Router paired with a Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 modem (SB6121), works like a charm. Had this router for about 2 weeks now with zero issues, no reboots at all. -Files transfers super fast between the desktop and laptop. -Gets just a teeny bit warm but much better temp-wise than competing brands. Green-net technology is also a plus, reduces power in the gigabit ports. -I get full bars streaming netflix about 30+ feet away in my master bedroom. I got the laptop, PS3, 360 and two smart phones hooked up no problems. Will have to change security settings to WEP for Nintendo 3DS.

Cons: Price perhaps.

Overall Review: No firmware update needed so far, best router yet coming from a loyal Netgear and Linksys fan.

Pros: 1. It worked well when in working condition. 2. Dual band worked well. 3. Looking good three antennas

Cons: There is only one problem, but a serious problem; continuous disconnection. I used to use a router from Netgear, Linksys, Airlink, T-mobile all the way from 802.11 b. I never had any serious issues with them. I upgraded my D-link N band router with this Trendnet. It worked very well for around 8 months. Then, it began to make an irregular disconnection. Sometimes, the problem occurred in a few days, sometimes in a few weeks, and sometimes a few months. I later found that the router kept losing IP, or couldn't update the IP info. Every time when this problem occurred, I had to directly connect the WAN cable to my PC and power cycle both modem and the router. A regular power recycle, resetting the router, or upgrading firmware did not help at all. Before the warranty of the router was expired, I talked to the customer service twice for the same problem. Their answer was simple and terrible. "We don't remotely detect any problem on your router" So they rejected RMA.

Overall Review: I check Newegg reviews first before buying any products because they are accurate and fair. I consider to buy one when its reviews are over 85% from 4 stars + 5 stars. I am sad that I didn't do that for this router because it was on a crazy sale. In most cases, there are reasons why cheap ones are cheap. But what you need to know is that the service of Trendnet is cheap. My money won't go for any Trendnet products

Pros: Great speeds, easy setup, shiny.

Cons: 2.4 GHz stopped working after a month.

Overall Review: This router worked great for about a month, then one day the 2.4 GHz frequency would no longer connect. I spent 1:55 on line with Trendnet troubleshooting, which I had already done all of prior to calling. They finally admitted that the router was defective, then it was my responsibility to return the router at my expense. Not sure if I got a bad one, or if there is a problem with these, but I'll be finding out. Thanks to Newegg since I ended up doing an RMA through them, and I don't have to pay for return shipping.

Pros: Concurrent Dual Bands, Gigabyte Ports, Excellent Security including MAC Address Filter. Easy to customize with the web interface. Reasonable price. Very reliable so far. Replaced my TEW-631 which was still working fine after 4 1/2 years. Love the ability to run computers and printers wired and wireless on 2.4, and home theater all wireless on 5.0. I did have to buy last year's model of Sony DVD player (BDP-S770) which works on the both the 2.4GHz and the 5.0GHz band because the new one (780) only works on 2.4GHz.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Main plan was to be able to stream music, video, and photos from my home server to my home theater, and mission completed with fantastic results.

Pros: Price Features Ease of setup

Cons: Speed Range

Overall Review: I bought this to replace a older D-Link 150Mbps router. I was expecting better download speed and a stronger signal, this provided neither. I did a site survey and speed test of my old router before installing the new for comparison. I did the same survey and speed test with the new one and the range wasn't as good as the old and the speed test was 1/3 that of my old one. I found these results to be hard to believe so I did a factory reset and set the router up again. No difference. I am going to return this and try another brand.

Pros: experienced with phone support was good.

Cons: slooow, cannot use simultaneous band. frequently drop connection.

Overall Review: listened to majority of review and save your money to have ship it back. Spent a lot of hours, between support to get it working right but failed.
