Review on πŸ“Ά TRENDnet TEW-811DRU Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Share Port by Mario Portillo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

not a very good bridge for computers and accessories

Should have listened to the reviews. But I'm an EE and I needed a quick bridge and it was $17 and runs on DD-WRT so I decided to see if I could get it to work, hell with the bad reviews. Well I've tried the latest Trendnet 10.0 firmware as well as the latest build of DD-WRT and even an older build that can be found on Trendnet's own website. I have a Mac network and use a lot of Airplay speakers around the house. No matter how I connected to the network - WDS, Client Bridge, Repeater Bridge, any firmware - I was never able to see all of my speakers, only some (the internet worked fine). After trying almost all configurations I gave up, flashed it back to stock and sent it back. All of which means I think this could be a good inexpensive gateway router with DD-WRT, but to me it's literally useless as a bridge.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not bad
