TRENDnet TEW-652BRP


$60.00 Released August, 2008

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Inexpensive. Easy to install. Small.

The Cons:Used to ship with a chipset capable of running advanced custom firmwares for better functionality and stability - newer routers of this model cannot. Produces a weaker than average signal. Unstable - requires a restart once in a while to work properly.

The TRENDnet TEW-652BRP is a wireless router that can be connected to a cable or DSL modem to share an internet connection and files across a home network.  The router utilizes draft 802.11n technology for 12x the speed and 4x the range of 802.11g routers and includes backwards compatibility to support a combination of 802.11g/b/n devices.
