#trendnet_tew_639gr It seemed to work great, till I tried to move some files from one computer to another. Seems the SPI firewall is internal as well as external. It actually blocks files with certain content from being transferred- either by Windows File Sharing or even FTP! Only way around it was to move everything onto a switch and connect the switch to the router.

#trendnet_tew_639gr I thought I was the only one. I don't have this model but the TEW-651BR and it always loses connection. I thought it was my cable provider but that works when i connect direct to that. It's almost daily I have to reset it, very annoying!
