I totally agree with all the users who had difficulty with setting up this router. I spent over twelve hours just to try to load the software onto my computer. I finally loaded an updated copy from the Trendnet website onto my hard drive which finally worked but with still a lot of other issues. The default username is admin and cannot be changed. Your password is up to you. Once you get that squared away, loading the software is normal but very tedious. Took me almost 90 minutes to load and configure. The included manual does not help but sometimes complicates things more. Wanted to use this router as an add on router to my existing Linksys router. Simply, does not work. You need to configure this as a replacement router rather than just an add-on. Wired speeds as comparable to my old Linksys. Wireless speeds are at 54mbps and range is roughly 100-150 ft. radius which is really good. However, with the extreme difficulty I had loading and configuring the software, I would recommend to potential buyers to look elsewhere, spend the money on a device which is easier to install. The price was a steal and absolute giveaway. However, the time I spent trying endless combinations could have been spent doing something more useful. I should have heeded the advice of other reviewers and not bought this device. Clearly, buyer please be warned and aware of this product.

After installing this item I have been unable to get wireless to actually work on my laptop. The included software doesn't have any way to customize installation and it appears to operate at a very warm temperature which probably means it will have a short life.

I bought this product for my home internet access, it worked perfectly, great signal, great speed. I highly recommend it. Actually, I installed everything by myself. Step by Step. Get it, don't think about it, the value is way higher than the price.
