Strengths: Nice Firmware, No need to refresh the page everytime you make changes, Wireless On/Off switch
Weakness: Tech support sucks as any other company now a time, Do not install the network magic software that is included
The router worked beautiful. So far, This router works great and I can get a signal on almost the very edge of my property. I'm setting it up with a gigabit server soon.
Strengths: excellent range & throughput compatible warranty looks
Weakness: none really
I've probable tried 30+ routers over the last couple of years (for the heck of it). This one has the best range and throughput of any and is as stable as the best of them. Hugely feature-rich. The only feature I wish it had that it doesn't seem to is a "wireless bridge" mode. Otherwise, it's been rock solid (using 12/2007 firmware). It's got better throughput at all ranges (afaict) then the dlink...
Strengths: gigabit port, good signal, relatively easy to configure with lots of options
Weakness: non-detachable antennas; shiny case shows dirt easily
I've only had this for a few days, but so far, this router has met my expectations. Before this unit, I had a D-link DGL-4300, which also had gigabit ports. The TEW-633GR had a very similar config menu layout, so it was very easy for me to set it up. Initially, I was only getting about 20-65% signal strength from two rooms away (small 2-bedroom, about 800sf) through the concrete walls, and doors....
Strengths: N wirelss, gigabit LAN, slick design, supereasy to set up for beginners.
Weakness: Too much orientation toward beginners when setting up.
That is the address to access the router. Dlink likes to use 192.168.0.1, well that's the address for the Trendnet. Now why is it so important? Because they don't bother to tell you what it is until after you install all this crazy network monitoring crap that you don't need. They force you to use the CD to setup the router, ok fine, if you are a total newbie and have no ideal what you are doing,...
Strengths: Gigabit router at a very reasonable price; works well with Intel 4965AGN (Santa Rosa Chipset based 802.11n notebooks)
Weakness: Connection drop randomly. It happens many times a day.
Comparing with my previous ZyXEL NGB-415N, this TrendNet has strong signal and better range. The best of all is it works well with the Intel 4965AGN. The ZyXEL could only connect as 802.11g when the TrendNet connects as 802.11n right out of the box. It also work when with mix 802.11g & 802.11n mode. Update: After using it for a month, I notice the router drops connection every now and then. It...
Strengths: Cool appearance and easy to install. Compact and does not take up too much space. The Gigabit Ethernet works great.
Weakness: Wireless signal strength is not consistent.
The installation process is painless, very straight forward. However, if you are a beginner to install a wireless network at home, I strongly suggest you go thru all the material that comes with the package. I have a MacBook Pro which has the draft 802.11n mode. However, after a few attempts, I could not get it going and needed to go back to 802.11g mode. I had a Netgear WGR614 router which had...
Strengths: Easy to set-up and configure using the included utility. I didn't have any significant problems getting this working with my ISP.
Weakness: Could use better documentation.
I recommend this unit if you are after speed and ease of use for a wireless-n network. I replaced a "g" router and noticed a nice improvement in my overall network performance.
Strengths: Ubicom Firmware for great QOS, with a ton of firmware options. Nice looking, and VERY stable.
Weakness: NONE
This is easily the best router I have ever owned. Previous routers I have owned were the Linksys WRT-54G, Dlink DGL-4500, Zyxel X-550. This router is FAR more stable than any of the other routers I have owned. For example, in both the Dlink and Zyxel routers, the "User access control" would always eventually lock up the router if I turned on logging. This router never locks up when I do that. The...
THE GOOD: Supports all available wireless encryption methods; intuitive, feature-packed, responsive Web interface makes it easy to set up and manage your network connections; compact design; impressive throughput speeds at short range; three-year warranty. THE BAD: Wireless connection drops with TrendNet wireless adapter; disappointing long-range throughput. THE BOTTOM LINE: The TrendNet Wireless...

As draft 802.11n products gain in popularity, we see attempts to position similar products for different markets. Enter TRENDnet's TEW-633GR Wireless N Gigabit router. Although it's very similar to the D-Link DIR-655, it's black, which may indicate it was intended for the gaming market.

Great wireless reception
Strengths: draft-N with a trendnet card worked well; our house is small, but good reception (at least 150mbps) even at the most distant point on a different floor.
Weakness: Software installation program installs "network magic"; an unnecessary program.
The only issue I have had with this has been with the WAN port speed, which must be limited to 10MBPS for full bandwidth to be passed the gigabit wired ports, but as the same problem occurred with a different router, the problem doesn't seem to be specific to this one. It's likely an incompatability with hardware on my end. I flag it so if others have bad bandwidth through wired ports with this...
