📶 TRENDnet AC1750 Dual Band Wireless AC Gigabit Router, 2.4GHz 450Mbps, 5Ghz 1300Mbps, 2 USB Ports, IPv6 Support, DD-WRT Compatible, TEW-824DRU Review

Summary: After installation DD-WRT seems to work fine with this router. It loses a star because it doesn't have LED indicators for each Ethernet port. This is actually an important feature for me, but I can do without it. Timely Details: I had to make a quick but sensible decision on which router to use as my previous router showed signs of imminent demise. The 824DRU seemed to fit the bill. Once DD-WRT was actually installed, everything went smoothly, but the installation itself was a bit…

I purchased a TRENDnet TEW-824DRU wireless router last July to extend my wireless coverage throughout my house. The cable modem/router provided by my ISP is fine for wireless devices next to the router, but terrible further away. TEW-824DRU is exactly what the doctor ordered. I put it in the middle of my living room, on top of my entertainment system. I have an ethernet connection to my home network, so after setting it up I connected my router to the network and, voila! - I have EXCELLENT…

Before installing DD-WRT, I couldn't recommend this router to anyone. I have two major problems with this device. 1) I can't reliably get AirPrint to work. AirPrint uses IP multicast to advertise the service and the multicast feature does not work on this router. I spent hours getting it to work. My AirPrint printers are not visible to my iPhone and I have to manually add them by IP address on my Macs. It broke the deal for me. My old Buffalo router with DDWRT didn't have this problem. 2) I…

As I'm not a tech savvy person I was very happy with the ease of setup. I was suspicious at first because it says you can tell when it's connected to the internet by the blinking (round) green light. Mine doesn't blink all the time. When I added a new laptop to the system, my internet slowed down and I found that I couldn't load certain pages. So after making sure everything was connected as instructed, I went to my model's website and explored a few options. Now, remember, whenever I…

I was looking for a router with Qualcomm Streamboost. Tried this. Bought, returned to Revane and exchanged for a new one. Both routers had problems with DHCP (devices on my network are not automatically assigned IP addresses). The admin page to service the router died multiple times and required a reboot. After manually assigning the IP addresses and configuring the Streamboost settings, everything is fine. The firmware is not updated (on the old or new router). Trendnet support was not very…

Overall not bad in terms of connectivity and speed. I have to restart it a little more than I would like. After a few months of use, I had problems connecting to the WiFi. After investigating, I found that the 2.4GHz WiFi channel was set to auto. You wouldn't think this would be too much of a problem, but the channel tends to automatically select channels 1, 6, or 11. The problem occurs when about 30 other Wi-Fi networks in my area are automatically tuned to Happiness the same channels 1. 6 and
