I've been a computer tech for almost 30 years and a Trendnet fan for 20 years. I had one of these routers for almost 7 years, in constant use. Worked great; gigabit Ethernet, 300Mbps WiFi, very solid performer. It finally died; I got my money's worth! All my network components are Trendnet: NICs, router, switches, access points. Perhaps the bad reviews are folks who got the occasional defective item, or they didn't configure it correctly. Trendnet products are as good as any of the "big name" folks, and at good prices. I would rather buy a used Trendnet part than a new item from many manufacturers. They don't waste a lot of money on advertising, because experienced techs know their products are good. Just my humble opinion here.

This is my first TrendNet after owning several Linksys and D-Link systems. The unit has been running for about a month, with absolutely no issues. Anytime you change your wireless connection, a reconfiguration of your laptop and desktop PC security codes is needed. With the TrendNet system, it took limited to no effort for this change-over. The three antenna system allows me to direct the signal throughout the home, unlike a singe or dual antenna system. Overall, a very nice system.
This ones a stinker folks! I own an IT business and I've used many routers over the years. I actually read some poor reviews on this one, but decided to give it a try anyway. It was a big mistake. Router was glitchy from the start, constantly had to reboot it, then it just crapped out completely. Doesn't work at all anymore. If you're looking for an inexpensive router, I've had luck with TP-Link and even Zonet.
My living room where I use my laptop is only 38 ft. from my office where the Trendware TEW-639GR Router is located and the signal strength stays at Low. Can definitely be better. I know this because I hooked up my friends Belkin N1 Wireless Router in the same spot and it goes from Excellent to Good.
