4.5 stars: works great, instructions could use some work.......2007-12-02
This unit works well but the instructions left a little bit to be desired. I've used it as a WAP (router in office upstairs has poor coverage in one of the downstairs rooms) and then as a client to hook up my wired-only DVR box to the internet (no CAT-5 there... silly me although great to see wiring the house with CAT-5 is no longer needed).
This is one of the lowest cost units out there and it can do a ton. I'd like to give it 5* but the instructions aren't overly clear for stuff besides WAP. I temporarily hosed my wireless network when I was switching this thing from access point to client. Having to choose between 4 and 5 stars, I'm rounding up my 4.5* score to 5* since who knows if the issue was the instructions or just me being impatient or both.
I'll definitely buy another TEW-430APB if I need it. It costs less than the other brands and does more.
I'm impressed..........2007-12-01
Unit is easy to configure and coverage is solid. Mine looked nothing like the unit in the photo except for color (which is a plus IMO). Can't beat it for the price.
Well priced; just works.......2007-05-07
A single wireless router couldn't cover my house. Instead, I use two access points and a (wired) router. Most access points are overly expensive. The TRENDnet WAP not only works flawlessly, it is quite reasonably priced. Highly recommended -- it's really easy to just set it and forget it.
Works.......2007-04-10
It feels a little flimsy but it works, can't complain with that. The software is easy to use. I like the ability to use this as a client device that allows you to transparently bridge any wired ethernet enabled device to your wireless network via an existing Access Point or Router.

Customer Reviews:
Defective and returned.......2007-11-08
I bought this unit to serve as a client to my existing wireless network, which is based on the excellent TrendNet TEW-630BRP. Through 3 days of trial and 50+ attempts in different settings, I succeeded in getting the two Ethernets bridged properly just twice. In both of these cases, the connections were lost within minutes. It then dawned on me that either the hardware or the software has to be defective. So, the unit was returned and I began to shop for a different model.
The unit I had was Version A2.2. This might have been too new to have a stable firmware.
Excellent product.. Works well with the Trendnet Router at 108 Mbps.......2007-07-18
I have been using the TEW-450APB access point with Trendnet's TEW-452BRP using the SuperG or 108 Mbps data rate. This is at or near wire speeds. It has a very easy to use Web page interface. I used it instead of adding PCI wireless card to my remote desktop. It freed up a PCI slot and directly connected to the built in Ethernet port. The security features were easy to set up. I did have a question when first setting up the router to contact Trendnet customer support and was very pleased with their help.

POS, bad tech support.......2007-12-18
Maybe i received a bad one, but this thing sucks. I could not connect using the supplied software or through typing in the IP address and password. I then called tech support (mercifully, a toll free number) just to wait 15 minutes. After the wait, someone came on and said tech support was busy and would i like to be called back. I said ok, but no one ever called back.
Maybe you'll get one that works, but i think it's a roll of the dice. I bought a Zyxel X-550 to replace it, and it was the easiest router i have ever set up. it costs $70, but well worth the aggravation. This thing stole an hour and a half of my life and i want it back!
Poor customer service. Faulty router.......2007-12-18
I bought this product about 7 months back. Since then I can only say it has worked partially for me. The configuration SW that comes with it and user guide make the installation VERY EASY. I could get it setup in less than 15 min. But thats where all the good things come to an end with this router. First I had trouble where the wireless access would keep breaking for 4-2 sec every 3-5 min. This was extremely annoying since I would be loggout out of gaming sites in between the games. I called their customer service center. Representatives are NEVER available. Someone will answer the call and say that he is only an operator and technical support person will call me back. This happened for 3-4 times, finally I got fed up and blasted this operator, he immediately connected me to a rep. The rep was not of any use. Emails were exchanged for nearly 1 month with no resolution. Finally in oct-07 they came up with SW upgrade for router and I installed it and that seems to fix the issue. Then recently suddenly the router cannot handle more than 1 link. I have 2 PCs. The first one once its active the second one slows down dramatically. Again I am trying to talk with technical support but they are not returning the calls.
very poor experience. Stay away from this router. I got lured due to cost ($10 after MIR) but now I realize its not worth it.
Complete Junk.......2007-12-03
This product is a piece of junk. Wired routing works OK, but wireless is worthless. It keeps dropping my connection every few minutes. Called their 24/7 tech support and was told they will call me back when they can. I updated the firmware, but that didn't help. BTW, my laptop worked great with two other routers I had (D-Link and Linksys), but this one is complete junk. Save your money. I'd give this 0 stars if I could.
A solid router for a reasonable price (especially with the rebate)!.......2007-10-20
My wife and I have had this router for a day or two now and so far it has not given us any problems. I was able to set up the router with our Roadrunner cable broadband box very easily because of the CD that comes with the router. It has a step by step tutorial that allows you to install everything with ease. However, make sure you do install the Network Magic program at the end, especially if your main computer with the router is your desktop, because this program makes setting up the security for your router sooooo much easier! I have not experienced problems with the signal not going through walls, but my wife uses her laptop in our living room table close by to the desktop, so I can't really comment on the signals ability to go through walls. We have an older house, it was built in 1926, so since the walls may be thicker than newer homes if I see a problem, or not, I will edit this review at a later time. In general, buy this router and especially while there is still a $20 rebate available....you won't regret it! I can also say that my wife's parents and her sister have the exact same router as well and have had no complaints!
*Since I last wrote this review I tried to see how it would do in other rooms throughout the house and it worked fine. I can also add that my wife was able to connect onto the internet at her parents' house from outside as well and they have the same router. So walls were not a problem.*
Great router but range may be an issue.......2007-09-26
Let's put the highest praise first: I just bought my second TEW-432BRP (first is at home; second is for work/office). Why?
1. Major selling point for me: Configuration is very easy. As a linux user, hardware often becomes a trouble point. Although the manual accompanying the unit suggests you need to run a Windows package off of a CD to set up the router, the entire configuration can be done via the web. It's hard to imagine things getting much easier... To top it off, the configuration is pretty comprehensive, allowing you to configure the device from a number of different angles (WEP/WPA support, filters, firewalling, ...)
2. Second major selling point: I'm cheap -- the price is definitely on the reasonable side
Other notes:
- The range is just fine if the building is "wireless-friendly". I have no problem connecting from one end of our 4-bedroom home (2000+ sq ft) where the router is situated at the other end of the home. On the other hand, the router I bought for work is problematic. When the router is on the first floor of the building and I am on the lower floor but otherwise nearby, the connection quality is very poor. This may be related to the construction of the building - lots of metal in the walls with cinderblock structure for the weight-bearing walls.
- having 4 LAN ports is nice if you want to plug in an internet printer or other internet devices
- my first router has lasted many months w/continuous use - reliability doesn't seem to be an issue - we'll see how the second one does
