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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Junk electronics

I am wirelessly connected to this router from 3 different computers, an old desktop, a new laptop and a brand new tablet. The router is within 1-3 feet of all devices. First, a disappointing USB share that was primarily used for video streaming from a hard drive dock. When starting a new video, it sometimes takes almost a minute before it actually plays. It's fine, since I mostly play my video from a computer a foot away from the router, I just plugged the drive directly into that computer and stopped using USB sharing. Now, after owning it for a little over a week, it seems like a failure. I use INPUT DIRECTOR to control all three machines with the same keyboard and mouse as if they were separate heads of the same machine. I used to have disconnects but lately I've been losing a lot of packets to my router, I've rebooted my router and still my connection to my router LOSSES and reconnects FREQUENTLY. Remember, these machines are FEW FEET AWAY FROM THE ROUTER! One of the machines is a few INCHES away from the router and falls over. So I decided to contact Trendnet hoping to get a solution, maybe a firmware update will fix the problem. So I go to their website and get: HTTP/1.1 server too busy. So yes, although I can access other websites, it seems trendnet can't even maintain their OWN INTERNET SERVERS! This is returned by Revain and replaced with a more visible named router such as Linksys or Netgear.

Pros
