 Does the job, but you need to be a techie to configure July 21, 2010
Lenny B (Minneapolis, MN)
I am using this to link up my toshiba blue ray player to my wireless network.
Therefore, I am using the AP mode of the product.
I am a very experienced network person, but still difficult for me to get this set up properly.
Once set up, it has been working very well.
 Disaster July 2, 2010

We spent over six hours attempting to install the Trendnet as a repeater for windows 7 pc with a cisco router.
About two hours with customer service got it running.
It constantly drops the signal and does not work.
I uninstalled it and will not waste any more time on it.
Do not buy it

I am using these to save myself from running CAT 5e all through my house. I put one downstairs in order to rebuild PCs for charity. I bought another one to allow my Dish receiver to have internet access. They took 3 minutes to set up. They work perfectly. I have a WPA2 secure network. They work flawlessly.
Used as wireless access point in from router May 20, 2010

Just got our unit and previous write ups are accurate. Don't even bother reading their instructions. The good folks here that left how-to's were FAR better. I am an engineer so should be able to wade through this, but it was easier to use these instructions. Points to remember. Take your PC and plug the Trendnet directly in to it. The router and modem are not used to set it up. Change the settings on your PC TC/IP as "Your Conscious" wrote in a previous review. Open a browser and type in the IP address as he indicated. His instructions are perfect, just recall that the menu won't open up right away, it asks for a password. Use Admin as the logon and Admin as the password, then follow all that he said (change those later for security.) You can unplug the unit after you have programmed it (presuming they use flash memory.) THEN plug in to your router and you should be able to see it from a wireless enabled PC. I can't comment on reliability yet, but range has surprised me. Full connection speeds (up to 52 MBS) over 40 feet away and thru two walls. Make sure you later go back and set some security up. We actually have ours hooked through a Minotaur X-10 ethernet switch and timer to control when it is on.
Great to add an AP to your wired network May 4, 2010
Your conscious
My scenario is very typical. I have a cable modem coming into the house and it is then connected to a five-port hardwired router which splits off to my main PC and the kids bedroom for their XBOX. I wanted a wireless connection for a laptop PC as well as my Zune. There is lots of confusion about how to hook this AP to your network but everyone's system is a little different. Mine is fairly basic, so here goes. The AP menu can only be accessed by setting a static IP via your network TCP/IP configuration. Connect your LAN cable directly to the AP (not from the router). Click on START>CONTROL PANEL>NETWORK CONNECTIONS, Right click on Local Area Connections, then Properties. Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click on Properties. On the General Tab, click on Use The Following IP Address and set it to 192.168.1.15. Don't worry about the Subnet Mask. Click Okay, then open your browser and type in 192.168.1.100 (the IP of your AP). The AP menu should load. Under Basic Settings, select Access Point (Not AP Client), and use the other default settings. You can use another name for the SSID but I left it to TRENDnet so I'd know what I was connected to. Also make sure the "Auto/DHCP" under Advanced settings is disabled. Now click Save, then reconnect the AP and your LAN cable to your hardwired router and go back to the original TCP/IP settings under Network Connections and save (Obtain an IP address automatically). Turn on a wireless device and TRENDnet should show up as a connection. If all goes well you can later enable the security settings if you live in an apartment, etc. The range of this AP is pretty good (I can receive a strong signal >50 feet outside the house). Hope this helps. The poor documentation doesn't help anything but the concept is straightforward. You enter a static IP to access the AP, do the above settings, reconnect everything and reset the network setting back to original, and you should be online. Good luck.
