TRENDnet Wireless N 150 Mbps Travel Router, TEW-714TRU

I am tech oriented so this was easy to set up and use. Some features might not be so easy for a less tech person. I needed a potable private wired/wireless network for my pro audio gear. My 32 channel digital mixer only had a wired connection so the port on the router works great for adding it to a WIFI network and my speakers have WIFI in them to control them. This router I have set with a non broadcasting SSID so that I don't have to worry about others jumping on and taking over my gear and I can control all of it with my IPAD from just about anywhere that I would want to be while mixing the band. The small size of the router is great, small, about the size of a larger plug in wall transformer. I have it plugged in permanently in one of my power conditioners in one of my effects racks that sits at FOH. Definitely a great find and perfect solution for a portable wifi network.

At first I was apprehensive about this purchase: the reviews were average, but mixed. Figured for the price it can’t be that bad, and I gave it a shot. It is excellent! Connected all my devices since I travel, and can manage them right from the web portal (admin) on the router, as with any other device. I travel frequently for work, and it connected seamlessly with the hotel’s wireless network, giving me better signal in the room. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is not simple to set up if the hotel requires authentication. Took me almost 30 minutes, but once it’s set, it’s good to go. Plus, it charges a usb device, and share files from usb over the network. Recommended!

I needed WiFi in a small guest cottage that's 125-ft from main house. Ran an ethernet cable to this Trendnet device that turns the ethernet into Wifi. It's been one month, no problems. I like it's small size, just plugs into the electrical outlet and doesn't take up any other space. Very low cost. You have to give it a couple minutes to configure itself after first plugging in.

Apart from the paperweight usage, these things are absolute garbage. They are incredibly difficult to configure. You can enter new settings into the setup page but hitting "Apply" will do nothing and no changes are executed. Changing the mode via the switch on the side (from WISP to REPEATER, for example) frequently causes the device to just lock up and will not restart until it has been power cycled several times. The reset button on the bottom of the device--theoretically for doing a factory reset--frequently does nothing at all...no reset applied.It's astonishing to me that a relatively well-respected maker like TRENDNet would release a product this bad onto the market but I guess the supervisors were asleep at the wheel when this product was launched. You'll get more satisfaction from intentionally smashing your fingers with a hammer than you will from using this horrible device.

Excellent travel router. I have used it successfully in both Router and WISP modes. It also handles European currents (220V) and has a couple of extra international plug adapters. It took some time to get it working, but the downloadable manual has clear enough instructions to set it up. I also changed some of the internal setup settings to change from the router's default settings, and I was able to do that successfully using the manual's instructions. I just use it to surf and it's speed is fine for that.

It didn't satisfy my expectations.

I bought this travel router to make sure I would have private WiFi service in hotel rooms equipped with an Ethernet jack. It has many thoughtful features that could be useful when travelling throughout the world, such as power plugs for various countries as well as the USA. I never bothered to change the WiFi network name or password; I just put the included sticker on the face of the unit. Plug it in and go. Easy Peezy, and a great value. Range is decent for its size too. Highly recommended.

I own a Hootoo Tripmate Elite and a Hootoo Tripmate Titan. I gave the Elite to a friend. Not wanting to move the Titan between home and on the road I purchased this Trendnet router.At home I share the internet with my neighbor. Instead of connecting to my neighbor's wireless network directly, I decide to connect it through the Hootoo / Trendnet router.The range on this Trendnet router is very poor. I tried to plug into different locations in my tiny 550 sq ft condo and none gives me good coverage throughout the home. Currently it is plugged into a power strip in the middle of my home above the kitchen countertop so it is not low to the floor and behind some furniture like most outlets are. It faces the balcony. When I sit on the balcony with my laptop / tablet, the signal consistently drops. When I go behind the opposite of the wall into my bedroom, signal is poor even in the middle of the room. I live in California. I would assume our buildings are made of wood and not metal.I also stream video with a USB stick that contains some videos. I plug the USB stick into the Trendnet. I then login to the router and find the video and double-click to play it. It kinda plays. Certain videos stop playing after 10 seconds. Some play fine. But one thing I can't do is fast-forward or rewind the video (by dragging the time bar), if I try to do that the video pauses and won't play again. I click the play / pause icon a few times, sometimes it starts playing from the beginning again, sometimes it just freezes. I tried on a different device and it does the same thing. I called Trendnet's technical support on this. They said my video files might be corrupted. Fair enough. So I plug the same USB into my Hootoo and everything plays fine. I can fast-forward and remind. None of the videos freezes. Every time you call tech support it's a 1/2 hour conversation and I don't have the patience anymore to do that after one phone call regarding this issue and another regarding firmware upgrade.Another strange thing. I have a Bluetooth speaker plugged into the same power strip as the router. Every time I turn on the speaker the router loses signal (from green light to amber light). The green light comes back on between 30 seconds to 1.5 minutes). Sometimes if I don't have a device connected to the speaker the speaker turns itself off after a minute or two. I turn on the speaker again and the router loses signal again.I am sure the different power plugs will be very useful if I ever travel to a country that uses 220V.The USB charger works fine.To summerize, this Trendnet router kinda works. But since both my Hootoos worked so well they make this Trendnet not so good in comparison.

Muy práctico, funciona excelente y fácil de usar, un gran plus que funcione también como cargador USB, lo recomiendo ampliamente

Es pequeño y funcional. Tiene bastantes opciones y relación calidad precio. Con clave seguridad y 3 adaptadores de enchufe. Lo que no he logrado ha sido ponerlo en modo repetidor.

Très facile à utiliser et vraiment très pratique lorsque l'on ne possède pas de port ethernet sur sa tablette. A l'hôtel, quand la réception wifi est quasi inexistante, il ne vous reste plus qu'à connecter votre routeur avec le câble ethernet et de créer votre réseau wifi. Fonction chargeur intéressante.Prévoyez peut-être un câble assez long si la prise ethernet n'est pas à proximité de la prise d'alimentation(adaptateur fourni).Je recommande

Works a treat and dirt cheap. I am using mine as a repeater but have also tried it as an AP and it works well when you realise that your WiFi key is case sensitive!

Ich habe diesen Reiserouter gekauft um ihn ... in die Ferien mitzunhemen (Überraschung). In Hotels/Ferienhäusern ist die WIFI-Verbindung oft schwach bzw pro Gerät zu bezahlen. Im Urlaub habe ich ihn noch nicht getestet, aber zu Hause.Im letzten Stockwerk unserer Hauses ist der WIFI-Empfang nicht optimal. Zur Probe habe ich mal den WISP-Modus konfiguriert und den Travel Router auf halber Strecke zwischen Hauptrouter und oberstem Stockwerk platziert. Siehe da: die Übertragung ging sehr flott und nun kann ich auch im letzten Stock streaming media geniessen, mit 3 Geräten zu selben Zeit ! Der Bridge-Modus hätte wohl auch funktioniert...Sehr schön finde ich die Idee mit den Steckeradaptern. Ich fahre des öfteren nach England und kann so auf einen extra Adapter verzichten.Mal sehen, wie sich das Routerchen im Urlaub bewährt, ich werde berichten ...Bis jetzt jedenfalls tadellos was das Einrichten und den Funktionsumfang angeht. Auch die Leistung ist sehr gut.
