Not a single problem so far.I've read a lot of reviews for this product and was wondering if I would have any problems at all. So far, everything has worked fine. The setup was easy and fast, way better than my previous Linksys G-router. Just follow the easy steps including installing the program. My computer sees the network and connects to it automatically as it would with any home network configured. I bought this router cause I wanted to stream movies to my Blu-ray player using a Netflix app (I don't mean to advertise but in case you want to do the same thing) and it does the job. I needed a high speed network since I wanted to stream hd movies so I upgraded to N. I've watched several movies like this and I've had a really good experience. The movie will take a couple of seconds to start the streaming and play but after that there's absolutely no interruption. I haven't tried playing online games with a ps3 or Xbox but I assume it should work just fine since playing online games on my PC run the same as if I was connected via an ethernet cable. The specs should say the range of the router but this is where it's not so good if you live in a two story house or a large single story one. I live in an apartment that has two rooms, with the living room next to my room and the kitchen and a dining room on the other corner of my apartment. If I use my pc on the kitchen or further I notice my signal drops by half. I guess this is why it only costs around $50 vs $70 or more for other N-routers besides the network speed. As you can read, the range is not so good. If you have an apartment like mine or probably a little larger you won't have any problems. If you live in a larger house and you want to use your computer all around, get a higher range router. I'm a college undergrad, and considering all the stuff we use today in our apartments and the size of them I'd say this router is perfect for us. I still have to wait and see what happens later in the year since I usually encounter problems with routers after a year or maybe a little less. There was a period of time when my previous router was having some issues and almost no computer could connect to it even though they saw it. I managed to fix that but it was a real pain and I had to access it's default IP and a whole bunch of other procedures. I hope this doesn't happen this time.

I hope my review was helpful. The way I see it, there's a chance you might be lucky like me or not. You could get a broken one that doesn't work well. The risk is up to you.

Questionable quality controlThe router was easy to configure using the setup wizard, at least for basic configuration. If you want to go beyond that, you're pretty much on your own because there is no documentation provided with the device. The wireless range is plenty for the house I live in, and had no problem connecting to it with my HP laptop. However, two of the four switch ports don't work.

Downgraded from the speed of my previous Wireless-GFor this PC, I'm running XP 32-bit. Didn't like the drivers, didn't like the speed. It dropped my transfer rate to an 1/8 of what I got with the Wireless-G card. Returned it.

Appears to work ok, but I was sold a USED unit as NEWThe set-up and operation of this unit are just fine, but at first I was a little worried that it might not work well, is re-conditioned, as it dit not arrive in the standard Motorola Packaging shown.

The other Reason why I believe it is extremely likely that this is a USED or RE-CONDITIONED unit - THAT HAD BEEN SOLD TO ME AS NEW - is that beyond coming in a just a plain brown wrapper, the Serial # (which I needed to provision the Modem) had an area that was faded and very hard to read. I could only decipher it with a very powerful magnifying glass and reading glasses. If this modem had been BRAND NEW - AS ADVERTISED, I believe that the Serial # would have been printed solid with any part of it fading. I feel cheated, that I sold a used Modem, and would prefer to get my money back or a BRAND NEW UNIT as shown!

Having said that, I was in a big hurry to get internet service, so I set it up, and after I provisioned it with my ISP (RCN) it started working immediately.

My only other question/concern is that I also bought an ITP Router at AMAZON that enjoys excellent reviews, yet my service has only barely been adequate... not excellent. In fact, too often, the connection is just too slow!!!

I am not sure if the problem is with this used Modem, the Router, or the ISP.... so if I ever find out why my service is not excellent, I will post the results here.

GarbageNaturally, I purchased this router for its USB network connection feature; Be aware: It does not work!
I am running Windows 7 on a high-powered machine, no matter what device I try to connect, it searches forever (using the included trial software 'Network Magic') and just never finishes the process.

Simply put: Integration of mass storage, printers, etc does not happen.

It works OK as a wireless router, however, it is not worth the hype as far as USB connectivity is concerned. Do not buy!

It worksIt's pretty easy to set up and I get good coverage throughout the house. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to secure it but that's probably me. It was the first one of these I have set up.

Worth the cost.I purchased this modem to replace the nearly decade-old modem I received with my Comcast HIS.

Easy to set up.
Well made.

The reviews stating a obvious speed increase were not joking.

The modems' ability to bond multiple channels (DOCSIS 3) should provide an absurd bandwidth increase on networks that support it, providing you have the proper tier of service. Though, even on a single channel (DOCSIS 2? network) I've noticed a 15-20% increase in downstream and upstream bandwidth has increased even further.

If you're on ComcastHIS you can update the MAC tied to your account by simply connecting it, opening an IE window, entering your HIS account number into the Comcast window, then downloading the software and following the prompts. I'm assuming it's ActiveX dependent. (No need to call and all that nonsense if this works as it should.)

Reviews:
Value for money, nothing fancyI was very confused about getting a good router, considered many options ranging from Linksys to Netgear to Belkin (I previously had a Belkin, it was an epic fail). I found out about Trendnet, it was way cheaper and served my purpose of a normal day-to-day router. It doesn't really have as many functions as a high-end consumer router, but it is well-suited for home usage. If you are running a small business from home, for example, you do not want to get this. My experience with cheap products in the past has almost entirely been bad, but this one has yet to disappoint me. I would predict the longevity of this router to be about a year. All in all, it's good value for the money. Especially if you're just interested in setting up a basic home network with up to 4 devices connected at a time.

Think of the EtherFastCable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch as a kind of splitter for your Internet connection. Just connect your DSL or Cable Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your household can share the Internet -- all at the same time. The built-in 4-port switch lets you attach four local PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches as your network grows. Once your computers are connected to the Internet through the Router, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. And you can share all kinds of files between computers -- music, digital pictures, and other documents. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all of your familys digital pictures in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and ease backup to CD-R. Play head-to-head computer games within the household, or against Internet opponents. Utilize extra free space on one computer when anothers hard drive starts to fill up..

Wrong PurchaseI purchased the incorrect router. This one is not wireless like I had thought it was. Therefore, I am unable to make an accurate review on it.
