good router, with unique options in firmware June 11, 2007 Picky Consumer 35 out of 37 found this review helpful
Upgrading finally from my B router. Probably the last one in the neighborhood to do so.
There are three versions of the TEW-432BRP (the outer casings look slightly different). They're roughly labelled A, B, and C. I wound up with the C one. Its the best G router i've ever seen, for a few reasons:
1. "Easy CD" actually worked and led me through a wizard that had me running in under 5 minutes. It was even intelligent enough to figure out that my cable company's router needed a reset.
2. When you go into the firmware, there are some interesting and unusual settings you can tweak. It has the usual things like 'dont broadcast ssid' and all the rest of it. But it also had unusual settings that I'd never seen before, like the ability to set the output of its signal at "full power" or "half power" or "quarter" or "eigth" or "minimum". Seemed like an interesting option; I usually sit 10 feet from it, maybe I can reduce the microwaves bombarding my brain? I tried it on the various levels and did throughput tests. Interestingly, it was at "quarter power" that I had the fastest throughput. I dont know why, but I can live with that. I was glad to have that option to reduce the output signal's power level in the router, though.
3. Excellent transmission spread, strong signal, and fast. I know the bottleneck is supposed to be the dsl/cable conneciton itself, but I would swear my browsing is faster and snappier now. And my connection speed to my local network drive improved five-fold (which was why I got a g router in the first place).
Its a great deal under twenty-five on sale.
Easy setup, good coverage March 13, 2006 Ganesh Kumar Eswaran (Bangalore, India) 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
Easy to setup (took less than 45 minutes).
Strong Wi-Fi signal, works fine two rooms across.
Very useful and convenient as it has both wired and wireless options. I use the wired option (LAN connection) for my desktop computer and VOIP phone and the wireless for my laptop.
Definitely recommend it.
Easiest Wireless Router I Have Ever Installed March 10, 2007 J. C. Sauer (Hampstead, North Carolina) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Very easy router to install. Pop the CD into your PC. Keep your PC attached to your modem until instructed to attach it to the Trendnet Modem and that is all there is to it.
The Trendnet modem software learns all of your ISP setting while your PC is attached to your Modem and then sets the Trendnet router correctly to work from the first get go. No fussing with the question of am I on a DSL service or a Cable Broadband service, each of which require different settings as they operate in different ways.
Super Value & Easy Setup December 30, 2008 N. Linton (Texas, USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This was my first time using a wireless router and the set up could not be easier. I used the supplied CD-ROM which gave a simple step by step video setup. The whole setup took about 10 minutes.
I am using this to connect my PS3 to the internet. So far I have only lost the connection once, and all I had to do is reconnect which took less then 15 seconds.
I got this on sale from Amazon and after reading the reviews I was a little concerned, but it works, and it works great. The signal however does vary, I saw it as low as 65% and as high as 85% but it stays connected during those times.
All in all, I am happy with the router.
TrendNET TEW-432BRP Wireless Router March 9, 2009 Sandra Schmidt (Kansas USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have purchased over 30 of these wireless routers and have had absolutely no problems with them what so ever from any of my clients that I have installed them for. The 3 Year Warranty is definitely a plus and beats almost all of the other manufactures that only offer a 1 year warranty such as Netgear. Highly recommend!
