TRENDnet 300Mbps Wireless N Home Router TEW-632BRP (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this wireless router for a small home network. It took a while to set up -- an hour or so initially and then a week's worth of tweaking -- but now it's working relatively reliably.
PROS:
- It's an n router, so it has at least the potential to be as fast as your wired connection.
- Aesthetically, it looks decent.
- Compatible with both Windows and Macs.
- For Windows computers, setup is probably pretty simple (so long as you don't want to fully customize the install) since the router comes with an easy install CD.
- The range is good. I have strong signal throughout my apartment and a good distance outside it as well.
- For the technology, the price is great.
- Nice options for security, whether you want firewalls or encryptions, etc.
CONS:
- For Mac users: It's compatible, but you'll have to go through manual setup, the steps for which aren't yet up on the Trendnet site. For either platform, though, just plug your modem into the router's WAN port, plug the computer into one of the router's LAN ports, then type 192.168.10.1 into your browser's address bar to take you to the manual setup.
- The router disconnected too frequently for my tastes (say, two or three times a day, at least) when I had its n capabilities enabled. The speed was great, but the disconnects weren't worth it. After restricting it to b and g only, the disconnects stopped. While the drop in speed is hardly significant, it is something to keep in mind.
- Constantly blinking green lights on the front are a bit annoying if you keep the router facing you.

3COM Corp OFFICECONNECT WIRELESS 11G ( 3CRWE454G72-US ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having used a D-Link 614+ router and a 900+ repeater for a couple of years, I'd become accustomed to the daily power cycling to restore reliable operation. Once that router finally got too flaky, I went shopping for a replacement, and found that these 3com models were available with a tremendous rebate. I got a pair of them going in the house, and the difference is like night and day.
These routers are rock solid after a month in place, and cast a stronger signal throughout my old stone-walled house. Even though I've not upgraded any of my D-Link wireless cards installed in my computers from my current 802.11b, the connection speed is much faster and more stable with these routers.
3com's reputation for high quality equipment seems well earned, given the performance of this product. I'm completely satisfied now, and the 3 year warranty that covers them extends my peace of mind.

Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router WRT160N - Wireless router - 4-port switch - 802.11b/g/n (draft) - desktop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've given up on this product. The installation CD's first window was a mystery on what process to select since none showed as "installation". Called toll free number. Answered eventually (after enduring endless menu) by person who clearly spoke English as a second language. 30 min. on the phone later, I just gave up,thanked the guy for his time and ended the call. At one point I wondered if my call had prompted a hidden camera joke where eventually someone would tell me a joke had been played on me and the person I was speaking with really was Not a tech support rep etc.etc. I was absolutely worn out after dealing with Linksys's customer support for new installations. I had to repeat every sentence the guy said in an effort to confirm his instructions and then steps later, he would change his mind and have me un do something he had instructed me to do previously. After 30 min. on phone I questioned what to do with an included cable that he had not mentioned.When he told me it should have been installed many steps prior, I knew it was time to stop this torture. It was truly unbelievable ! End result: I am donating this unit to a local youth home,and buying another brand highly recommended to me by my neighbor who installed a wireless network in his home without any calls to tech support or any problems.I read scathing reports about the poor installation software on various Linksys products and now I am a believer. However poor the installation CD is, live tech support is worse....worthless, in fact.If you are not tech savy, I can't recommend using this product based on my installation misadventure.

ASUS RT-G32 Wireless Router - 802.11b/g (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had a bad experience receiving this package, so I guess I should have known it would be an omen for what was to come.
Before I even received it, I had trouble with UPS because I could not be home to receive the package. Finally, after two failed attempts to deliver it, I decided to take a day off from school to receive the damn thing, as they refused to take my signature (the note claimed a "signature is required to ensure delivery"). The next day, I received it, but instead of signing anything, the guy threw the box at me and simply left. The box wasn't even that big, although the product itself is unnecessarily small compared to the box it came in.
Anyway, now for the review. I was ecstatic upon finally receiving it, since as a student, I really need internet for my laptop. My wired ethernet keeps me tied down, so I thought I'd finally be able to have wireless internet. Boy, was I wrong.
This thing claims it's easy to set up, and I know a thing or two about computers (I had lots of trouble with the AT&T 2WIRE before, but somehow I always made it work). I set it up as it should be, and it didn't work. Initially, I thought my memory and skills had failed me somehow so I consulted the instructions. Pretty simple. The setup was correct. The LEDs were lit up, after all. However, now I was receiving neither ethernet nor wireless internet. After frustrating myself with it for a couple of minutes, I thought I'd try something else.
There is a CD that came with the thing for "EZ Setup". I installed that and ran the program. It basically allows you to set up your router to work with the PC, but get this-- any changes I made DID NOT take effect in the router. I set up my WEP key and SSID but when I tried to connect, all I found was "default" as an unsecured connection. Not only that, the CD's translation is about as horrible as it gets. I know this is from a Taiwanese company, but really, they couldn't hire somebody who spoke proper English?
Anyway, later I typed in the IP address of the machine to try to set it up manually. It worked and although the interface is clunky and overcomplicated, I managed to change my SSID and set up a WEP key. However, I still had no connection and when I changed it, the connection to the router was automatically lost. I checked my network diagnostics and it said "The network security settings do not match the requirements for this computer." Thus, I can no longer connect to it and I have left it powerless for a couple of days now. I have often used WEP encryption before and had no trouble connecting. Why am I having trouble now? I am running Vista on an HP Pavilion notebook, and have never had trouble to connect to something else. Why now? Why this thing?
In short, this thing is not as good as it claims to be: the interface is clunky, the translations are horrible, and it takes an arm and a leg just to get this thing to work. Take it from me, if you're shopping for a router, don't be cheap and shell out some extra bucks for something that actually works. I just can't see myself recommending this to anyone. I will sooner exchange it or toss it in the garbage before I try to set the damn thing up again.

I said that I had to send the first one back because it didn't work and that the one they sent to me for replacement was bad also. Well this was not so. I had made a mistake in setting it up, so I wish to apologize in writing the letter and telling you that they had a bad product. I should have my head examined I guess.

Buffalo AirStation WHR-G54S - Wireless router - 4-port switch - 802.11b/g - desktop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With the Buffalo firmware, this is a good router. Coverage is good, router never hung or needed restarting, and had all the features you'd reasonably need for a basic setup. With DD-WRT or tomato firmware, however, this router is GREAT. You can crank up the antenna power, get phenomenal coverage, customize a QoS plan, etc. etc. Can't recommend highly enough. Too bad Buffalo got sued out of making wireless routers (patent trouble, I gather). These are hard to come by now.

SMC2804WBR Barricade g 2.4GHz 54 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using the 2804WBR for several months now, and it has worked flawlessly. The difference in throughput between it and our 802.11b base stations is quite obvious.
Some observations on the other reviews of this product:
1. Current product does not appear to have any unresolved bugs, and should new firmware be released, the firmware upgrade process is extremely easy, requiring only a web browser.
2. The statement that the 2804 "cannot act as an access point" is simply incorrect. If you do not connect anything to the WAN port on the 2804, all it can do is act as an access point, and unremarkably, that's all it does. Mine is doing just that -- we have two other 802.11b routers on our network, one of which is our internet gateway and the other (an original Apple Airport base station) is acting as an AP.
Note that if you are going to use the 2804 as an access point, you probably want to turn off its DHCP server, because you probably already have another one operating.
One of the unheralded features of the 2804 (and all recent SMC routers) is that the router does not have to be rebooted for configuration changes to take effect -- you just press a button on the appropriate configuration page, and the change is saved and active. This means that in a multi-user environment you don't trash other users' connectivity when making configuration changes. Very cool, and fairly rare in consumer-grade routers.
All configuration is via web-browser, with separate "easy" and "pro" configuration systems. The 2804 configures and operates flawlessly with Macs as well as PCs, and presumably Linux boxes also.
The 2804 also has removable antennas, making it possible to add an external antenna without breaking out a soldering iron or cracking the case.
I would recommend the 2804 to anyone who needs its capabilities -- it is economical, simple to configure, and yet offers sophisticated capabilities if you want to delve into the settings a little.
The only criticism that I have of the unit is that it does not directly support dyndns.org -- but since that can be handled by a free client daemon on your computer, that is of little consequence.

The Barricade g 2.4GHz 54Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router (SMC2804WBR) is the perfect networking solution for any home and business user that is looking for a simple, all-in-one network product.

The new Barricade g offers a high data rate that is up to 5 times faster than the widely used 802.11b wireless LAN and is backward compatible with existing 802.11b network devices. The high performance Barricade g Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router offers an integrated Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall. This firewall provides protection against hacker invasions, such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by analyzing individual data packets, as they pass through the Barricade g, to ensure that only authorized packets are allowed access to the network.

ASUS RT-N10 Wireless-N Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
-Cheap B/G router
-runs in AP mode
-Power brick was small and light weight compared to an older Linksys 54G.
Cons:
-No software wireless support in DD-WRT. Some soldering required for a quick fix which isn't the most optimal solution.
-Web interface was a bit confusing.
-Band width management is really really bad. Avoid this!
-802.11N is run in 2.4GHz range which will interfere with 802.11B/G
FYI:
Port forwarding is called Virtual Server.
SETUP:
Router mode
No Bandwidth management
Virtual Server
Wireless B/G
REVIEW:
Do NOT use the bandwidth management! This management slowed down the connection to the internet. I had to reset the router. Once it was back to the original configurations, the router has not given me any problems. So far the router has been running for two weeks without any problems.
The wireless B/G connection works well. I don't usually play my Xbox 360 over wireless, but I did test the wireless N function. I was able to play a couple of matches of Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox live without much repercussion.
Also the AP mode worked well. I was able to easily configure the wireless SSID and key.
For an Asus product, I believe this is mediocre. I expect a lot from Asus, but this is just okay. For my budget this router was a great choice, but I would only buy this again once DD-WRT becomes available for the router. (Looks like a few may be here soon.)

ASUS RT-N16 - Wireless Router - 802.11b/g/n (draft) - 3 external antenna - Print/File server (enabled through USB port) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a router with decent range, speed, support for USB based external NTFS drives and last but not the least, good QoS support for VoIP phones. Another important thing that perhaps everyone wants but forgets to mention is reliability. I expect it to keep on working once it has been setup.
I have had this router for just couple of days so far and cannot comment on reliability yet, but other requirements have been met quite well. The specs were something to die for - 480MHz (capable of 533MHz) processor, 128MB RAM, 32MB ROM and runs Linux with support for bittorrent and FTP right in the firmware. Even the firmware source code is GPLed and anyone with a bit of knowledge in this area can improve it. In fact, DD-WRT (an open source Linux based firmware) is already available and works quite well with this router.
With DD-WRT installed on this router, it becomes quite a powerful computer that can serve as a web server as well as a NAS once you connect an external hard drive to the USB port. QoS and Port Forwarding have been implemented quite well in DD-WRT and is the main reason why I had to install DD-WRT within few hours of receiving the router.
[...]
I would have given the router a 4.5 rating if I could as the firmware it came with had a few bugs. I could never get port forwarding to work and also QoS setup in the original firmware is limited.
Here are some pros -
1. Gigabit ethernet, excellent processor and so the performance. Asus claims 300,000 concurrent sessions, which should be enough to handle even commercial hotspots with hundred users.
2. It has 2 USB ports that support various devices. One could connect a USB printer and a cheap external hard drive at the same time. The printer would work as a network printer (available to all computers in the network) and the USB hard drive will be available as Network Attached Storage to everyone without paying hundreds for one such device.
3. DD-WRT availability. They are constantly improving and adding features. QoS (Quality of Service) is one such feature that is needed in any household that has a VoIP phone and lot of online activity in the background like uploading videos to youtube, p2p, online gaming etc. With proper QoS setup phone service or online gaming shouldn't be affected even with other large scale online activity.
4. The original firmware is image based and looks quite nice. I found it very intuitive.
Cons -
1. Should have been dual band (separate bands for G and N traffic), the chipset supports it. I am running in mixed mode as several of my devices (iPhone, Fuze, Wii) support only G mode and in mixed G/N mode, N components operate predominantly at G speed.
2. The original firmware is buggy and I couldn't get port forwarding to work reliably after several tries. QoS, the main reason behind me upgrading from a D-Link, is not implemented as well as I expected. DD-WRT fixes both issues but first-time owners may not be savvy enough to reload a 3rd-party firmware on their brand new router.
All in all, it's an excellent purchase for the capability and price, especially when you consider Cisco charges more (sometimes twice) for routers with slower processors and much less RAM and flash memory.
Update: Updated the links since Amazon yanked them. Also would like to add that the reliability is quite good so far with DD-WRT. Has been running for 3 days straight and no issues/slowdown etc.

ASUS RT-N12 Wireless-N Router, Access Point, and Repeater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The short review is: excellent router, extremely easy to set up, great range, good stability, nice white color, absolutely no complaints.
Here's the longer review:
I took a total risk on this router...there were no reviews on Amazon, I'd never heard of ASUS, and wasn't convinced that ordering it was a good idea. However, the price was right, and I had just spent frustrating hours trying to configure a Netgear route. My previous router, a D-link, had a "known issue" that the manufacturer solved by discontinuing the model's support. So, I thought, let me try this unknown brand and see what happens. If worse comes to worse I'd just return it to Amazon.
WOW was I pleased! Literally, 10 minutes after I had opened it, I had it configured as an access point, had logged into the router from my wireless laptop, and had set up a password to encrypt the network. I've set up maybe 5-7 routers in my life and always dread it... this was by far the easiest experience I've ever had. In the picture on the site, this router looks like it's an ugly grey color. It is a shiny smooth white - think Apple ipod aesthetic - with nice white antennas. Very aesthetically pleasing.
Though the advertising for this router states "diskless setup" it come with an optional setup disk. I did not use it as I wanted to test the advertising's claim...and am pleased to say it's an example of truth in advertising!
I'm also getting very good signal strength, speed and stability...I will DEFINITELY update this review if I run into issues, but overall I'm giving this thing 5 stars (and I almost never give 5 stars because I think everything has room for improvement) because it was so inexpensive and easy to set up, and performs exactly as advertised.
I am using this router as an "access point" which means it is connected via ethernet cable to another router and serves to extend the range of my wireless network. There's a switch on the back that allows you to select access point mode, standard router mode, or bridge/repeater mode.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Update 5/10/2010- still working great... I put some white electricians' tape over the blue LEDs in front as they were too bright, but other than that, no issues at all. I forget it's there - it just works all the time without needing to be unplugged every so often like my other routers.... my wireless devices are always connected to it and don't lose signal. Still a 5-star review.

Cisco-Linksys WRT310N Refurb Wireless-N Gigabit Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered two of these routers to set up as repeaters in my house. Both routers came very quickly and both routers were in really good condition when I received them. Neither router came with any documentation except for a piece of paper explaining the limited warranty, however, both routers still looked brand new. They do come with a set-up CD, however, the CD is not required if you are familiar with wireless LAN's.
I've flashed both routers with DD-WRT which was very simple to do, and they are both working flawlessly. I didn't even bother using them with the native firmware. DD-WRT all the way!
They do run HOT. I've stuck a pencil under the back end of the router on my desk to see if that helps the air circulate under it a bit better.
I highly recommend this router, especially flashed with DD-WRT firmware.

The Wireless-N Gigabit Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex Gigabit Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The Access Point built into the Router uses the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G. With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the router can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds far faster than standard Wireless-G. But unlike other speed-enhanced technologies, Wireless-N can dynamically enable this double-speed mode for Wireless-N devices, while still connecting to other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. In congested areas, the "good neighbor" mode ensures that the Router checks for other wireless devices in the area before gobbling up the radio band. To help protect your data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength 256-bit encryption. It can serve as your network's DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass

Buffalo Technology Nfiniti Wireless-N Compact Client USB 2.0 Adapter WLI-UC-G300N Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Been downloading average 250-300GB worth of contents with many overnight runs, never failed, never disconnected once. Work perfectly with my Buffalo G/MIMO router, even though this is an N adapter. In far places where other adapters get 2-bar signal only, this one gets 4. Planning to buy more.
