I bought this product to upgrade my linksy router to wireless N. It works great except it kept losing connection to my linksys router. After some internet searching I found it was a setting i had wrong, and from then on it worked great. |

I have a 10 yr old wired LAN & have long resisted wireless, but having returned to school I'd found that I needed a good laptop that would connect to the campus network from anywhere on campus. Having then spent serious cash on the laptop, & enjoying connected-computing-unplugged on campus, it seemed a shame not to also use that function at home. The TEW-637AP easlily & cheaply turns a free port on your wired router or workgroup switch into a wireless gateway for a laptop or difficult to hard-wire PC. It's a seemless, trouble free setup ... the big, brown truck was literally still idling out front when I first grabbed a fully secured, WPA2 connection thru my wired LAN. The connection's strong from anywhere in my house, garage & back deck included, & still do-able from within the homes of my immediate neighbors ... an occasionally handy thing. No troubles since, & it ain't especially sexy ... it just works as advertised. JED |

Cons: Only 10/100 LAN connection.
Pros: Size, appearance, set-up options, price on sale. Comment:
First off, this product claims to have wireless N 300mbps but can only connect to the rest of your network at 100mbps.Other than that unlogical design, this product works well. My wireless N laptop can only connect at 144mbps even right next to the unit though. I haven't found a solution to this. Also, certain encryption combinations seemed to limit speeds to 54mbps G. I'm not sure if that is a limitation of the device or my network card. |

Pluged this into my hard wired network and it works just great. Good signal strength even at my neighbors house. Not bad for the money |

Easy install, good setup, nice design, but it degraded strength & speed of connection compared to my old US Robotics MaxG wireless router, connecting to a new Gateway notebook. The Gateway had a b/g wi-fi adapter, so I did not expect as much improvement as if I'd had an n adapter in it, but I did not expect a weaker signal and slower speed. I think I'll let my cats play with it.... |

This is a wonderful little device i say, its great for people with an existing router that want to upgrade, or just an addition to existing network. Although it does have some dead spots and does drop connection sometimes, like everything works then suddenly it doesnt :P, but other than that its nice to have and use |

This router installed quickly and painlessly. I had no problems connecting it to my Linksys G router and I have had no issues with connectivity or speed. The paper documentation that came with it is a little sparse though. Overall I am pleased with this product. |
Just plug it in to the existing b/g router via network cable, use the software included, and there you go, a wireless N router. But, cannot use it as a wireless B/G access point that's unplugged from your B/G router. Tech support couldn't help much, and just kept telling me what's already in the manual. Anyway, coverage is good, and signal is okay.
