Strengths: Cool appearance and easy to install. Compact and does not take up too much space. The Gigabit Ethernet works great.

Weaknesses: Wireless signal strength is not consistent.

Summary: The installation process is painless, very straight forward. However, if you are a beginner to install a wireless network at home, I strongly suggest you go thru all the material that comes with the package. I have a MacBook Pro which has the draft 802.11n mode. However, after a few attempts, I could not get it going and needed to go back to 802.11g mode. I had a Netgear WGR614 router which had been giving a very good and consistent performance. However, to my disappointment this TrendNet TEw-633GR drops signal periodically on 802.11g mode. Even though I am only 10 feet away, the signal strength could drop from 54 to 36 Mbps once every 10-15 min. When I am in my other room which is 25 feet away, the signal easily drops down to 24 Mbps. I tried different encryption mode: WEP-128 bit and WPA Personal; the result is the same. However, the Gigabit Ethernet works great.

Strengths: draft-N with a trendnet card worked well; our house is small, but good reception (at least 150mbps) even at the most distant point on a different floor.

Weaknesses: Software installation program installs "network magic"; an unnecessary program.

Summary: The only issue I have had with this has been with the WAN port speed, which must be limited to 10MBPS for full bandwidth to be passed the gigabit wired ports, but as the same problem occurred with a different router, the problem doesn't seem to be specific to this one. It's likely an incompatability with hardware on my end. I flag it so if others have bad bandwidth through wired ports with this they know they're not alone. Otherwise, no complaints with this router.

Strengths: Nice Firmware, No need to refresh the page everytime you make changes, Wireless On/Off switch

Weaknesses: Tech support sucks as any other company now a time, Do not install the network magic software that is included

Summary: The router worked beautiful. So far, This router works great and I can get a signal on almost the very edge of my property. I'm setting it up with a gigabit server soon.

Strengths: N wirelss, gigabit LAN, slick design, supereasy to set up for beginners.

Weaknesses: Too much orientation toward beginners when setting up.

Summary: That is the address to access the router. Dlink likes to use 192.168.0.1, well that's the address for the Trendnet. Now why is it so important? Because they don't bother to tell you what it is until after you install all this crazy network monitoring crap that you don't need. They force you to use the CD to setup the router, ok fine, if you are a total newbie and have no ideal what you are doing, then I can understand how the CD would help with step by step instructions. I did as the tutorial said and it kept not finding an internet connection. After repeated attempts, I finally found the 192.168.10.1 address online and manually configured the router and it worked instantly. This company needs to just let people know what it is in the manual that comes in the box because not everyone is a router newbie. Wasted 30 minutes of my life on that stupid tutorial. The worst part of it was that it installs some program called Network Magic that stinking takes over your network settings in windows. Fine, but the worst part is that it's a 30 day trial. It's not even that great of a program. Windows is simple and fine, I don't need extra crap on there slowing the computer down. Overall, nothing else to complain about, the router works just like any other router. Please remember to use WPA2 encryption. Good luck and don't forget 192.168.10.1

Strengths: Easy to set-up and configure using the included utility. I didn't have any significant problems getting this working with my ISP.

Weaknesses: Could use better documentation.

Summary: I recommend this unit if you are after speed and ease of use for a wireless-n network. I replaced a "g" router and noticed a nice improvement in my overall network performance.

Strengths: Gigabit router at a very reasonable price; works well with Intel 4965AGN (Santa Rosa Chipset based 802.11n notebooks)

Weaknesses: Connection drop randomly. It happens many times a day.

Summary: Comparing with my previous ZyXEL NGB-415N, this TrendNet has strong signal and better range. The best of all is it works well with the Intel 4965AGN. The ZyXEL could only connect as 802.11g when the TrendNet connects as 802.11n right out of the box. It also work when with mix 802.11g & 802.11n mode.Update: After using it for a month, I notice the router drops connection every now and then. It could happen a few times in an hour. I thought I had a bad unit so I RMA'd one and got a new one but still the same problem. Updated the firmware and it didn't help. When I switched back to the ZyXEL the problem went away.

Strengths: excellent range & throughputcompatiblewarrantylooks

Weaknesses: none really

Summary: I've probable tried 30+ routers over the last couple of years (for the heck of it). This one has the best range and throughput of any and is as stable as the best of them. Hugely feature-rich. The only feature I wish it had that it doesn't seem to is a "wireless bridge" mode. Otherwise, it's been rock solid (using 12/2007 firmware). It's got better throughput at all ranges (afaict) then the dlink dir-655 and even my second favorite router the trendnet tew-631brp. I can't think of any other router at any price I'd rather have. BTW, this interoperates at LEAST with any cards using the atheros chipset (e.g. zyxel, dlink and, I think, Linksys).

Strengths: gigabit port, good signal, relatively easy to configure with lots of options

Weaknesses: non-detachable antennas; shiny case shows dirt easily

Summary: I've only had this for a few days, but so far, this router has met my expectations. Before this unit, I had a D-link DGL-4300, which also had gigabit ports. The TEW-633GR had a very similar config menu layout, so it was very easy for me to set it up.Initially, I was only getting about 20-65% signal strength from two rooms away (small 2-bedroom, about 800sf) through the concrete walls, and doors. But then I was only get 30-80% with the D-link DGL-4300, with a 7dBi gain extended antenna. With a little unit placement change, and tweaking the antenna orientation, I was able to get a much better signal, 40-95%, depending on the location. I don't have any 802.11n-enabled computers yet, so I am not able to see any speed gains, but the speed for 802.11g has been solidly 54mbps, whereas it used to jump up and down sometimes.Also, in addition to the 4 gigabit ethernet ports for the LAN side, the WAN port is also gigabit, though I doubt it has much real world use for the most part.The firmware has performed well as well. With some routers, p2p applications can sometimes crash the unit. I have not yet seen this happen, nor has the performance fluctuated.All in all, I highly recommend this wireless router, especially considering its affordable price. There are a few draft N wireless routers that feature gigabit ports, but most of them cost significantly more, and I doubt that they perform that much better, if any, than the Trendnet TEW-633GR.
