Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

I was impressed by the fact that a hardcopy version of the installation instructions was included in the package as well as a cd containing better illustrated version of these instructions. Its simple and easy to use/ setup. Good price, easy setup.

Great little router for troubleshooting. Worth the $25 for a troubleshooting tool or a permanent basic router. Always remembers my printer ip, but wvery once in a while forgets the address.



Cons

After about a week of use the router just completely fried itself and was no longer operable. Ended up getting an old linksys router and disabling wifi and installing dd-wrt. Don't buy this router.

Even the simplest of changes require a reboot. The global dns server setting has absolutely no effect. If you power on the modem and router at the same time, the router requests an ip address before the modem has connected to the internet.

This is the second trendnet product that i've bought that was faulty. Hardware suffers from imposter syndrome. Cli is even worse and consists of about 6 commands.

Has very few features & the firewall protection isn't much. It gets the job done, but it's not particularly reliable. Really useless. Don't buy one. A piece of garbage.
