Product Review Summary: Everything you want in a Bridge device I've tried many different brands of Bridges and Access points over the year and had low expectations for this Trendnet product.
I was pleasantly surprised when I got this one and it's been working great from minute one. Easy setup, lots of technical features. It's a little lacking in style, but who it just works like you want it too.
I'm purchasing two more now to expand my network even further.
Product Review Summary: Works Well as a Repeater. I bought this for my sister, so she could access my wireless network from her house next door. Before she got this, the only way she could get enough of a signal to use her netbook was to open a window facing my house and put the netbook on the window sill. Our houses are only about 50 feet apart, but my Rosewill router sits behind a thick concrete wall. This has proved the perfect solution to the problem. Set-up was not that difficult, I just connected it via ethernet to my PC, set up my PC to use a static IP address, used a web browser to access the device, set it to repeater mode, found my network and put in the network and security settings, and, after changing my PC's network settings back to dynamic IP, was done. If you've set up wireless networks before, there's nothing to it, if not, look on it as a learning experience! All we had to do after that was to put it in a room in her house that was near to mine, and plug it in. I also replaced the antennas on my router and this AP with ones that are a bit more robust. Now she can get a good signal on her netbook anywhere in her house, and her desktops equipped with PCI wireless adapters also get good signal. This is probably the cheapest, easiest way to solve a similar problem you're likely to find, if you have, or are willing to acquire, the know-how.
Product Review Summary: Painful, Difficult Setup Immediately before setting up this access point, I setup the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter. Both were needed to connect to my existing wireless router for remote devices. The Linksys product took me 5 minutes, painless, beautiful, wonderful. Then I moved on to this, the Trendnet Wireless Access Point. What a painful setup, and I'm an IT nerd. It was 2 hours of figuring out the right steps necessary to get this compatible with my wireless network. Any mistakes made during the setup process made the Trendnet completely unresponsive, forcing several resets to the factory default. If you do anything outside of the simple configuration and don't have some networking knowledge, find another product.
2 stars only because once I got it working, and it seems to work fine, otherwise 1 star for difficult setup and poor documentation.
Product Review Summary: Buy only if you have a C.S. Degree It is collecting dust next to my Direct TV tuner, why? because it is impossible to connect it to my secure wireless network. The simplistic instructions do not work and it is not worth it to me to spend the 5 hours of hell to get this thing to work. Let me repeat, do not buy unless you are or have access to someone who works on computer networks for a living or this will be a waste of money for you.
Product Review Summary: Perfect for DirecTV HD on Demand I purchased this to act as a wireless adapter for my DirecTV HD DVR so I could get the On Demand channels. There are great tips on setting it up in the DirecTV customer forums. I found CFO214's tips especially useful. He/she had set up several different systems using the Trendnet WAP, so knew all of the possible problems you might run into. The tips that helped me the most were to change the basic settings to AP Client instead of Access Point, and to change the SSID to match my network name. After reading his tips, I had this working in about 5-10 minutes. The thread can be found here:

Overall, a great product & setup was easy after correcting all of my rookie mistakes.
