This review is from: TRENDnet 300 Mbps Wireless N Home Router TEW-652BRP (Black)I usually don't write reviews as I am lazy but I think the other consumer's review is misleading to many people that consider buying this router. I don't know what is the problem in his case (maybe choosing the same channel with the neighbor or some other strong interference?) but I never experienced any disconnects or other connection issues with this router.This router is considerably inexpensive compared to other 802.11N routers and ,as expected, it doesn't compare with the $100 routers in terms of features. However, it is a reliable router with basic functionality and much faster connection than the 802.11G routers. I usually connect at 130MBS and it is more than enough for may needs as my wired ethernet connection is 100MBS anyway. There is no performance difference between plugging the Ethernet cable to my computer or connecting wirelessly with this router and that was what I was looking for. I am simply happy with it (using for the last couple of weeks) and keeping it until dual band N routers drop to this price range.Cons:-Not a dual band (only 2.4 GHZ) so you won't experience 802.11N speeds if you use old 802.11B or 802.11G devices simultaneously with the N devices.-Firmware and web interface provides only the basic settings, so don't expect anything advanced (e.g. you cannot reserve IPs to certain MACs)-Ethernet is 100MBS, so don't buy this if you need gigabit ethernet-You have to choose the 802.11 channel manually (there is no auto setting to find the channel with least interference). But you can look at the channels of the neighbor wireless networks and set it manually to the least crowded.PROs:-I bought it on sale and the price was unbeatable for a N router.-Connection is fast and reliable.-MIMO is great, so even the G devices connects faster (but I use the router exclusively in N mode, I have another G router for legacy devices)-Set-up was painless and device supports WPA2 with hardware AES encryption.I am a computer professional and didn't even look at the user manual or quick start guide. So I don't know how good the instructions etc. are if you need them but if you know what you are doing, then the router is easy to setup as it comes wireless enabled and you can start configuring it as soon as you power the router on. Its default IP is "192.168.10.1" and default admin password is "access"....

This review is from: TRENDnet 300 Mbps Wireless N Home Router TEW-652BRP (Black)I got this very cheap, but I got it to use as Wireless N Access Point. There are problems with the original firmware but you can fix that by upgrading to the most current one at this time it's 1.10.8. This is very basic N with 12X coverage area, so you're looking at 2 rooms about 150mbps at excellent signal range. The 3rd room would be 120mbps at very good signal. The 2x 2dBi ANT are okay the higher you place this device the better signal you'll get. You don't need to buy additional ANT for it.Now the true story about Wireless Draft N 2.0.. Remember this is still experimental so true Standard N would be 600mbps. Draft N is 300mbps. Based on chipset not real time. Okay so let's see:300mbps = 150mbps (real time) but in the router it can be 130M270mbps = 135mbps (real time) but in the router it can be 115M260mbps = 130mbps (real time) but in the router it can be 110M240mbps = 120mbps (real time) but in the router it can be 100M130mbps = 65mbps (real time) but in the router it can be 45M120mbps = 60mbps (real time) but in the router it can be 40M60mbps = 30mbps (real time) but in the router it can be 10MThese are the speeds you'll can get, but you want to have about 150mbps that's close to the chipset speed which is 300MB.This router has Atheros AR9130 400MHz CPU and 32MB of RAM plus 4MB FlashNot bad faster than DLINK DIR-655 which only has 276MHz, 16MB of RAM and 4MB Flash. Except the DIR-655 has USB port and Gig ports. TEW-652BRP doesn't have USB or Gig ports.If you're going to use it as wireless access point in N or G then you don't have to worry about the 10/100 ports only for connecting it to your network.Now some programmers online have come up with a way that you can turn this Router into DIR-615 C1 3.01 using mod firmware which is just changing the last HEX entries to work the DIR-615 firmware that's all. Once you flash the router to a DIR-615 you'll have more features, but it won't be easy to use. You'll have to read the DIR-615 manual. Then you might find you want to switch back the Trendent Firmware you can do that but editing the firmware or moddin...
