TRENDnet 54Mbps Wireless G PoE Access Point TEW-434APB (Blue)

I recently bought a LCD TV that has an Ethernet connection to get on the internet. I dreaded the thought of running a cable to the TV. After looking around for an easier solution I found this and once I set it up as an "access client" it worked great. If you can set up a wireless router you will have no problem with the set up. It can be used on anything that has an Ethernet connection. I tested it on an older laptop that is just wireless B (11 Mbps), I disabled the wireless on the laptop and just connected the Trendnet to the laptop and now it is much faster on the internet. I also plan on using it on my new Blu-ray player that has the Netflix capability. I misunderstood the PoE feature as being able to draw power through the Ethernet cable like with USB devices, I was wrong and spent $10 more than I had to. Oh-well, lesson learned. Get the "TEW-430APB" unless you really have PoE.

PoE means power over Ethernet. When paired with a PoE switch or PoE adapter this unit powers itself through just the Ethernet cable. Very handy. As for the access point itself, upgrade the firmware to the latest as I did and the configuration will be plenty easy. The coverage is pretty good - even through a concrete floor to two apartments and surrounding areas. Nice!

I own and operate a hotel with 8 access points spread out through-out the hotel for a true wi-fi experience. We started off with Trendnet TEW430APB Access Points; however, after heavy use some of those access points started freezing up from time to time. I started replacing the old TEW430s with the new TEW434APBs and WOW what a difference!!! They don't ever freeze up, the speed is TRULY amazing! I pay for about 15 MBPS of speed from my internet provider and the TEW434 access points truly put anywhere from 11.5 to 14 MBPS PER access point!!! The guest's are very happy with our hotels internet service and that is what makes these Trendnet TEW434APBs a true winner in my book!
