Good Product So Far! 
2008-03-09
I bought this router about 3 days ago to set up our first ever wireless network at home. Setup was no more difficult than my old (wired) lynksis router, if not easier.
Take note: When setting up WEP or WPA encryption you are supposed to go to a specific address, don't enter a password when logging in because the generic ones didn't work. I spent 1/2 hour on the phone just to find out it didn't need a password.
I'm using this with the MBP internal wireless capabilities with the router at the farthest end of the house from me with full reception. IMO this is a great router for the price.
Excelente 2008-02-17
Excelente desempeño con mi MacBook 2.2 GHz (Late 2007) que usa IEEE 802.11n (draft) y MacOS X 10.5 (Leopard). Fácil de configurar por medio de Safari y muy buen precio. Lo recomiendo.
Poor Quality Router 
2008-02-01
I'm relatively experienced with installing and using wireless router technology. My roommate bought this router when we first moved into our current place. It arrived, and I installed it, making sure to update the firmware immediately after setting it up. This router has been nothing but trouble from day one, constantly cutting off Internet connections, and needing to be refreshed at least three or four times a week. My computer is set up less than thirty feet away from it, yet I cannot maintain a constant connection to the Internet for more than twenty or so minutes. I cannot recommend staying away from this more.
Bad service 
2008-01-24
A good router but not worth the frustration their technical support folks will cause you if you need help. This has got to be one of the worst tech experiences of my life and I've been in computers since before Bill Gates left school. Rude, uncaring, illiterate and unattentive about sums it up. It took 4 calls before my problem was corrected and we still don't know what caused it. That I accept. Their attitude I can't.
Although the reviews on this item were good, I personally will steer clear of all Trendnet items from now on.
So far - excellent 2008-01-13
I have owned this several months. Before I give my review I want to give you a point of reference.
My previous router was a Linksys WRTGL which I bought because my first WRT (not GL) did not have a strong enough signal. I got the GL version because you can easily use hacked firmware to increase signal power by 100%. Still not happy with the performance I bought extended range antenna for the Linksys and finally I had good wireless performance throughout the house. After 13 months it started dying and finally worked no more. Warranty is for 12 months. Nice.
So I get the TRENDnet and the first thing I did was upgrade the firmware which I had to do three times. Upgrading firmware is always a little scary but it went down without a hitch. I couldn't find any hacked firmware so I just used the standard firware.
Without any modification the signal strength is 8-10% higher than my modified GL Linksys was! To say I am happy is a vast understatement. Other reviewers here are making my head spin with all the fancy lingo of what this router can do but here is the bottom line.
This router works great. It is very easy to set up. It has a three year warranty. SOLD!
A possible downside of this router is I have heard their tech support is not that great and the reviews I read said the automatic software setup is poor. Since I have used neither of those things I cannot comment but I felt it was something that might be important to a prospective buyer.
Great for the money! 2008-07-21
It works as advertised. I get great reception, there are a ton of settings and features to keep you busy if you are in to that kind of thing. I picked it up for less than half of the current price, so at the current price I would probably go with a bigger name manufacturer.

This wireless router works well, and was easy to configure. Provides gaming and N broadband support. The gaming part works well for me, but all my wireless devices only use G so I can't test that. It was way cheaper than the others. I bought it as a backup for my Linksys, but now my Linksys is the backup.
Unreliable 2008-05-15
Worked great for about a month, then started cutting out whenever I streamed video from the Internet. I would have to unplug it to reset 4 or 5 times a week. Now it doesn't work at all. I've had it for 10 months.
BIG Improvement in signal strength 2008-04-15
Very briefly, my apartment has metal studs in the walls. My laptop (Intel NIC) is two rooms from the router (D-Link) but the signal goes through the two walls at 90 degrees and I get 5 out of 5 on the meter. The problem had been my second desktop (D-Link NIC) is diagnally on the opposite side of the apartment and the signal goes through 4 walls at various extreme angles. I averaged 1 of 5 bars in that room. I installed this router and immediately got 4 out of 5 bars. WOW! Now why only 4 stars-the configuration wasn't quite as friendly at the D-Link's and my first attempt at TrendNet's tech support wasn't good. After 20 minutes on the phone, the tech (with an attitude) gave up and told me to dwnld some firmware & call back (more wait time). When I got to the firmware page, there were several options that he didn't warn me about. So I dwnld'd all of them. I called back & y'know when you get a tech that has it all together-this was that guy. First he told me to trash the firmware updates. Then in ten minutes he had me up and running. Now me happy.

Overall it is a lot better than the old Wireless-G (Linksys). Worked right off the box. Needs a little more time to enable the wep key which has not happened yet. Comes with a Netmanager software has a short trial period so plan on spending a little more if you need it.
