I've had this product for a few weeks and it has worked OK so far. If you're a Mac user, note that the setup/configuration software on the CD it comes with is for Windows only, and nowhere (that I could find) in the written instructions does it tell you what to do if you own a Mac. However, it is Mac-compatible; you can set it up through an internet browser. After some searching online, I found this solution:

which is similar to a solution buried in the more extensive setup instructions downloadable (in pdf form) from the TrendNet website.

Easy set up. Admin page is simple to navigate and set up your network. Encryption is easy and fast. High speed good range. I recommend. I have owned Belkin, Linksys and D-Link, they have all failed over time.

Easy to configure. Easy to manage. Consistent performer (I use it in a concrete/steel/brick multi-level setting. Only runs 108 when open, but WPA produces a solid 54mBps performance with the included MIMO.

This thing is very inexpensive, but works just fine in my 2-story house. I've been running it for a few months now, and even knocked it off the shelf a couple of times, and its going strong.

Plenty of signal strength all around the house to connect our desktops, laptops, and Wii.

I was able to configure all of my products into one Network. I can even use my non-wireless DLink Router, that I had plugged into one of the 4-ports. I will recommend this model to anybody!

I don't know much about routers so when I popped in the installation cd into my computer and tried to install it it wouldn't work and said need elevation so I called trendnet techical support and they were very polite and helpful helping me install the router. I have had no problems with it afterward and I am very satisfied with this product it sure beats linksys.

TRENDnet 108Mbps Wireless Super G Broadband Router (TEW-452BRP) Inserted cd as instructed, 5 minutes later, after hooking up the power, I was connected. Extremely easy to setup and works very well. I'm glad I chose this wireless router out of all that's available. It has range to spare.

I've only had the router a week, but am happy with the performance. I've not been dropped yet and I've tested the signal from my basement two floors down.

Setup for 108Mbps is a bit fluky but I don't use that feature anyway. I primarily purchase for my work laptop. But i tried it with the TEW444UB adapter and it work solidly.

Let me first start by saying I'm not all that savvy when it comes to routers. I found this one easy to follow the operating instructions for...with a few idiosyncracies. First, my computer didn't work exactly as the instructions said it should. I had a hard time getting the computer to recognize the router. I searched for my problem online and found the same issue where someone essentially said "just try again", and I did, and it worked! Second, whenever I turn the router off or unplug it, I am required to boot up the base computer, plug the modem directly into the computer, open the internet, and then plug the cord back into the router in order for a satelite computer to get a signal. Very odd but it works every time. Like I said, I'm not that savvy about this sort of thing so there is probably an easy way to fix it but I don't know what it is.

Overall, I'd say it's a decent item. I live in a 850 sq ft condo and never have an issue getting a signal.

You would not believe how tech support suggests I determine compatibility for their products. "You'll have to call pre-sales to get a list of supported devices"

Brilliant.
