Review on TRENDnet 4-Port Broadband Router with MAC Address Control, Remote Management & High-Speed Switch Ports - Black TW100-S4W1CA by Erik Peterson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not working again for computers and accessories

Not working a second time, very long power cords and using two at the same time, one from 8cat I think PC and Xbox. I agree it's great not being wireless. For detailed information on exposure to wireless radio frequencies, contact the manufacturer of the device in question. They use standards that compare devices to the average mobile phone, which makes no sense if you don't have one. For example, if an Xbox is emitting RF waves when a controller is connected and configured with Ethernet, you must open the device and remove the wireless card, otherwise you will receive constant RF emissions unless the game console is completely powered off. This and the LED TV also have built-in WiFi, so you'll still get RF if you can't get rid of the TV, but it's the LED that usually causes eye damage and shouldn't be used anyway. It worked fine right after the 30 day return window, died, came back within 3 months or so, died around the same time so I think it's just not set up for those really long cables, definitely won't work for us .

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
