Pros

Created for the person who enjoys gaming at a completely new level the Trendnet wireless router was built for speed and reliability. They have included a gigabit WAN port, which is actually more than any gamer would ever need, it is more appropriate for business application! Nevertheless it is better to have too much of a good thing than too little.

Set up of the Trendnet wireless router could not be simpler. This device comes with a well constructed graphic instruction sheet as well as a CD-ROM for getting started. The manual will show you every step you need to take even up to replacing a previously installed router. If you are new to this process, you might want to stick to the CD however.

If you ever wonder about the reliability of a product look to the manufacturer’s guarantee. When a product has poor performance record, many times the warranty will be very short lived. The Trendnet wireless router warranty is a generous three years. That is an impressive warranty to say the least, you can probably figure on the unit performing well for at least that long, if not longer.

Bottom Line

If you are looking to set up a wireless internet network this is a good router for the job. The Trendnet wireless router featured here supports all available wireless encryption methods, is easy to use and not that expensive. All in all, it is a good buy for home networks, gamers and even a small business.
