Review on ๐Ÿ  Enhance Your Home Network with the TRENDnet 300Mbps Wireless N TEW-632BRP Home Router (Black) by Phillip Jaylon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A good cheap router is the best in the Computers and Accessories category

I bought a router for $25. This is the same hardware as dlink dir-615. The default firmware on this router isn't very pretty, but it has all the basic features. I flashed the router with dlink firmware and it works like a champ. No reboot required, no freezing. It's been almost a month now and now the problems aren't related to dynamic DNS. I'm not sure why, but the update just won't run. I use it in WiFi mixed mode with WPA2-PSK + AES, NAT for internal servers and almost all features and have no problems. Range is good and Wi-Fi speeds reach 130Mbps for mixed mode wireless. Too much to ask, but a USB port for mass storage/printer sharing would be a nice addition. But I'm happy with what I paid for. A definite buy for home users who don't want to spend a lot but still want the speed and range of the N.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
