This review is from: Tenda W268R Wireless-N Broadband Router, 4-port Switch, WPS (PBC and PIN) enabled and Internal AntennaI actually purchased (at a low-cost) and reviewed this product within the "Video Games" section here on Amazon...Received my Tenda W268R Router fast enough, set-up a few days later and am pleased my unit appears factory new and is working as expected. This was an impulse buy so, I took the time to read everything and set-up was a breeze. It's not necessary to use the set-up CD...if you know your settings for the router firmware, enter them and you're up and running quickly, smoothly and securely.The most noticeable difference (from my WRT54GL router) is the speed...doubled, nearly tripled! Transmission range isn't as broad as I had hoped but, still, a considerable increase. Otherwise, better security.Okay, nice, no, Very Nice! That says it all for this low-cost router. Since it's only been a few days running now, my only concern may be longevity. I expect trouble-free performance and I'm hoping for 5-10 years of reliable service from this Tenda router. So far, overall, I am very pleased...this has been an outstanding purchase!...
This review is from: Tenda W268R Wireless-N Broadband Router, 4-port Switch, WPS (PBC and PIN) enabled and Internal AntennaI've become convinced the internals are pretty much the same with all routers these days. This was confirmed by a computer products store sales rep, who said the main difference between routers is the software that comes with them.After our one-year-old Netgear router died, I started shopping for a replacement. I bought a Linksys router, and the installation software froze the computer requiring a reboot. Back it went. Next I tried a slightly less expensive Belkin router. It actually worked but it couldn't keep the signal going to a wireless desktop computer without constant drops. Back it went.Finally I tried this much less expensive Tenda router. A month later, it appears to be a keeper. It comes with a printed, one-page Quick Installation Guide, plus on CD a Setup Wizard and User Guide.I had some trouble making the initial connection, but I'd read somewhere that it helps, after plugging in the router, to then unplug the power to your cable modem briefly and then plug it in again. Doing so, the router established its initial connection with the cable modem.Regarding customer or technical support, my only experience is making one phone call to the 800 number during regular hours, and receiving a recording saying they were closed for the day.There are occasional dropped connections to a wireless-connected desktop in another room, but it is about the same as the Netgear router we used before it. I consider it to be acceptable performance, and the occasional drops may relate more to the older wireless access card in the desktop than to the Tenda router.In addition to the desktop, other wireless items in the house connected through the Tenda are a laptop, a Nintendo Wii, a smart phone and a Kindle. All appear to be connecting without a problem.My only concern is long-term reliability, as I'm getting tired of cheaply-made products lasting a year, then having to research replacements, and go through the installation hassle. Still, if that is the current standard, then it makes sense to spend as little as possible. Thus far, 30 days of operation with the Tenda, it is doing its job....
This review is from: Tenda W268R Wireless-N Broadband Router, 4-port Switch, WPS (PBC and PIN) enabled and Internal AntennaBought this for under twenty at a local computer store. Works just fine with my wired desktop and with the wireless on my phone. Speedtest.net results are the same as when plugging directly into the modem with my desktop 25mb/s-ish. Speedtest app on my android phone with wireless drops to about 10mb/s but still ALOT faster than the 300kb/s I was getting with my phone network(thats 300 with a k). Setting up a wireless password was not straightforward enough for the average user. Recommend for the money....
