TRENDnet 4-Port Broadband Router TW100-S4W1CA (Black)

I bought this Trendnet to replace an old Netgear router, which was still working fine, except it couldn't keep Outlook connected to its remote Exchange server. I suspected that the old router was too slow to handle the RPC over http (Exchange Proxy) connection that Outlook uses, but I wasn't sure. So I was looking for a new and ultra-low-cost router to see if it would fix the problem. This router solved the problem immediately - in fact Outlook connects faster from home now than it does at the office.

This router was easy to install and set up. At first I was reluctant to switch brands because I was already familiar with configuring Netgear routers (I also have a Netgear wireless router configured as an access point.)

This is my first time using a router. I didn't like idea of putting our internet signal into the air even though there are ways of securing it. So we got a wired router. One is going to my computer, another computer bridged with a 75' cable and an xbox360 also bridged with a 75' cable. The 360 plays fine online and the computers experience no lag while all are using the internet. Everything hooked up fine. A cat 5 cable connects to the router from the modem and you just throw another cat 5 to the router and connect it to whatever PC or gaming console needs it. A wired router is much more convenient than having to reset the router every time you change the connection from PC to xbox360.

this wired router works great with a very low price. didn't have to do anything just plug and play. my pc and ps3 are next to each other therefore i didn't need a wireless option. i had a linksys wireless router and the thing kept disconnecting on me especially when i was gaming online with my ps3 so i got rid of it.
at first i was hesitant to purchase this router because of its cheap price tag and not knowing too much about this company, but i'm very glad i bought it. i recommend this product highly. cheap, reliable, and easy to set-up. worth every penny.

*note* don't worry about the blinking red light. it means it's working.
