Review on πŸ”΅ TRENDnet TEW-432BRP Wireless G Broadband Router: High-Speed 54 Mbps Connectivity in Stylish Blue by Mike Pfettscher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked great right out of the box

I had a 7 year old Linksys 802.11b wireless router that was starting to give us problems. Occasionally slowed down throughout the day and stopped charging when the microwave was on in the kitchen (oh, another problem?). Cable modem 5Meg. I didn't want to wait for the unit to arrive in the mail either, so I used the "Next Day" service (additional cost). Interestingly, the total cost was STILL lower than local stores including worst buy. It arrived as promised (I'm amazed!). I took it out of the box and followed the quick install instructions. The software found the old driver, asked me if I wanted to keep the previous setup (yes), and then installed the rest of the software and told me when to physically install the hardware. POW! It worked the first time! Surprising for such a cheap device. And instead of the previous 802.11b speeds (1.4M downloads), I'm now getting 3.5M 802.11g downloads over the air versus 4.6M downloads over the cable modem. And even the microwave can't stop it! I'm very happy with this inexpensive (albeit plastic) device. And I am very happy with Revain's delivery service. My expectations were exceeded. That's why I just bought a 52" Samsung LCD (120Hz) through Revain. You are consistently moving forward.

Pros
  • LAN ports - 4
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was
