i dont have a wired internet connection so i cant install the router.can someone help me
 Power users continue looking... November 5, 2008
I have a very standard home network with two HP desktop PC's, one Sony laptop, and and a WM5 Pocket PC all hooked up to a DSL broadband connection via a Linksys Wireless-G router. However, I do insist on high wifi security so use at least WPA + TKIP encryption in combination with MAC address filtering. After three years of operation the router suddenly died so I decided (on price) to first give TrendNet a chance to replace it with the TEW-432BRP which I bought from Fry's for $40.
I installed the TEW-432BRP router, updated to the latest TrendNet firmware, and had no problem connecting all of my wifi devices with WPA + TKIP encryption enabled. However, as soon as I switched on MAC address filtering in the router firmware all of a sudden I could no longer access MSN instant messaging or Hotmail on any PC on my network. Reading into the firmware history file I saw that TrendNet has had previous issues with connectivity to MSN which it believed it had fixed... well perhaps so for general router settings but apparantly not when also using MAC address filtering mode. In any case, for a router to block any web site in any mode of operaton was unacceptable so I packed up the router and brought it back to Fry's for return to vendor.
I next bought the Netgear WPN824 router for $65, set it up, updated to the latest Netgear firmware, and connected my devices. The router connected with every wifi device successfully using WPA + TKIP encryption. But as soon as MAC address filtering was enabled only my WM5 Pocket PC could still connect... the router completely blocked the Sony laptop from re-connecting. This happened despite the fact that the router had automatically entered the correct MAC address for the Sony into its allowed devices database from when it was connected without filtering earlier. The Netgear MAC address filtering firmware obviously has a quirky problem with Sony laptops using the Intel a/b/g wifi adapters. Netgear Tech Support had no useful suggestions and recommended returning the router to vendor which I promptly did.
I finally bit the bullet and bought the Linksys WRT54GL for $75 because it got good reviews online and offered open platform support for third party firmware. No surprise, even with the default Linksys firmware it works as advertised with all my devices and using full WPA + TKIP encryption and MAC address filtering. There were no unexplainable wifi lockouts (as with Netgear) or MSN/Hotmail blocks (as with TendNet). Linksys had designed and tested MAC address filtering correctly.
Clearly TrendNet and Netgear need to spend more time building a robust MAC address filtering implementation and test product compatability more thoroughly in this mode if they want to compete with Linksys. I'll be sending this feedback to all three vendors and kudos to Linksys for getting it right straight out of the box. In networking compatability will always be the king.
 Good Value, easy to work November 4, 2008
Paid $6 for it with MIR. I put in the CD. Connected it to my modem. My computer upstairs with a wireless card can get the signal and does not lose the signal very often. Very easy set up, well worth the money.
 Great product and price October 30, 2008
It was a good deal, but i had to configure it through the management webpage because the configuration through the wizard was unsuccessful, once programmed it is working fine.
Doesn't last long, disposable in a year thing. October 19, 2008
I have this router for longer than a year. Was pretty much satisfied with it. Easy to install and set up access and firewall and DMZ etc.
From time to time the router needed to be hard-reset. Fortunately, there is an option to save setting and use it after the reset.
Recently the router stopped working for good. It just sitting low and blinking with its lights as an idiot. Neither wireless, nor wired connection. Though if I connect cable from modem directly to the laptop, I have the internet just fine.
