helped close gap from basement computer to wi-fi on main floor.  Once it is on it stays on, unless a car hit the power on your block.  Highly recommend this for others who have older houses such as 100+ to consider runing these to your computer as metal pipes, distance to the receiver/broadcast station.

My apartment is a highrise in the city, and has steel studs/framing.  This means that the wireless, even multi-band n, cuts drastically moving room to room.  I get around 50 MB consistent throughput over these.  Allows me to watch networked full HD Video from the other rooms while downloading and streaming TV stream to another computer with no discernible problems.

ONLY knock is that the plug into the back of these devices is a bit futzy; don't put it anywhere where a wayward kid or dog might nudge it a bit.

Have not tried encryption.

My house is wired for a multiplicity of TVs--more than I have, actually. When cable TV started giving me problems, I installed this amplifier, which make TV problems go away, but I had persistent internet issues. The cable company said that the internet problems were caused by over-amplification of the TV signal. Interestingly, they removed an amplifier that they had installed and left this one in place. It has been a few weeks now and both TV and internet have been OK.

I have this at one end of a 3,000sqft house and it covers the entire house for both bands.  I was thinking of getting a second WIFI router / access point to cover the other half of the house before my old access point / router bit the dust.  I was tired of the consumer quality and lack of security so I got this on a recommendation from arstechnica.  The only downside is the need for Java to run the admin software for the setup.  Well worth the effort to setup.

This shares information about your house. I was looking to get this but think about why would an internet company want to sell a household item

If you plan on using your internet connection for only a minute at a time, this product is gold.  Otherwise your connection may constantly cut off causing your video chat/stream/game to be interrupted and crash.  There's a small chance the problem is with the Category 5 ethernet cables provided within the kit since they're outdated bandwidth-wise compared to the more current Cat 6 model.  I'm not really upset though since the product wasn't expensive and will be easily returnable.  I now have an even greater appreciation for wi-fi.

I have 6 of these in my house.  I have an extensive wired cat 5e home network as I like all of my devices to communicate through Ethernet vs wireless where possible.  Behind each entertainment center/TV i have one of these to feed all of my various components.  I also have 2 of these in my central networking panel.  You could say that these are the backbone of my home network and I promise you that they don't disappoint.  I have never had a single one fail and they just WORK!

I often live with roommates off of craigslist, and it sucks to have to always worry about what kind of internet you are going to have to deal with, and how many roommates are going to be sucking up all the wireless bandwidth at all hours of the day. This coaxial adapter Has made all of my fears of living with complete strangers who could kill me at any moment, because nobody knows where I am, completely melt away. I went from a .85 Mbps wireless deadzone to having 80-90 Mbps at all hours of the day.
I cannot find anything wrong with this product except that I didn't know about it and buy it sooner; they need more advertisement.

This is great for families with lots of people using the Internet connection at the same time. It helps when your isp - for example, Frontier - kicks people off the router because they are being dbags with their algorithm on the backend for multiple users on the same connection.

This cable/dsl router offers everything you need to share your  internet connection and protect your home LAN.  The product offers many of the same features as Belkin or D-Link in regards to DHCP, PPPOE etc.  The beauty is that if these acronyms mean nothing to you, no problem.  The router has a overall good manual with a browser interface that makes setup and configuration easy.  The manual uses many screenshots that help when looking for the appropriate setting and offer some explanation to the features. All of the basic features are set to work with almost any cable/dsl setup and if you need more configuration the options are usually there.
The only problem I have found is that the firmware updates are needed for better control and functionality, but the java based website can be problematic.  They require you modify you security settings for Java in IE, which can be daunting for some and also do not always work.  I was able to manually install, but the browser interface would be easier for the novice.  Other than that, this is a good router on par with the majority of other big name home routers on the market.

I purchased this cable to run about 60 feet of cable (including slack) from my router to my bedroom. I didn't use the RJ45 modular plugs or the crimp tool. Instead I connected both ends of the cable to RJ45 Keystone jacks. I have those Keystone jacks mounted to the wall with pre-owned ethernet cables connecting the jacks to my router and computer. I found a few small kinks in the cable when I began unraveling it from the box. Do your best to get rid of these but don't fret if you leave a few. I have some minor ones and the connection is still great. I'm getting about 20 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload. Fast enough for Netflix!! If you need this cable for simple home applications then look no further.

If you're going to be running ethernet cable through your attic, get up early!! I did this midday and it was miserable.

My job doesn't give out wifi. So I setup a network using a live Ethernet line they had ran for something else. Put the router on private so you have to search for it and boom! Free internet. Awesome purchase.

This device is an awesome solution to a home without hardwired ethernet. I have a couple of PCs in a room that's impractical to run Cat5 to, and I didn't have a whole lot of happy with TP-Link Powerline (ethernet through AC outlets) adapters - they work, but periodically my connection speed would crawl down to modem speeds and I had to unplug and replug the sending unit to get back to a pretty dismal 14Mbps connection.

Setup was quick and easy; I plugged it in, connected an ethernet cable to my existing router, and went to my desktop and ran the included setup application. The app found the device on the network, and I set up a new wireless access point, named it, secured it, and everything was good to go.

There's a newer version of the setup tool on the TrendNet website; I used it to update the firmware, rebooted, and did a few network scans. Using the WirelessNetView app (google it, it's free and simple to use) I saw that the TEW-637AP's default channel is the same as my existing 802.11g access point; so I ran the setup app again and changed the channel to avoid conflicts. One thing to note - when you make configuration changes (like changing passwords), they don't take effect until the device is rebooted.

Once you've done the initial configuration, you can access the device in a web browser; it's a good idea to change the system's admin password at this point (so your neighbors cant hack your network - the signal is definitely strong enough to go next door, or across the street).

The TEW-637AP is now giving me a solid 144Mbps connection throughout my house, which is flipping awesome as far as I'm concerned.

The ONLY hassle I had was getting power to the thing; the AC adapter has about a four foot tail, and I located the thing on top of an entertainment center that's about five feet tall, so I had to scrounge around for an extension cord to go about 12 inches. If that's my biggest problem today, I'm a happy customer.

The connection is strong, and rock solid; I've had the thing running for about two weeks now and I'm getting speeds as fast as wired ethernet to three desktops, two laptops, a couple of Nexus tablets, a kindle, a nook, and three smartphones. Very satisfied and highly recommended, this is a good product; if you're on the fence, BUY IT - I'm pretty sure that you'll be quite happy with it.

We have a three story house with the modem and router on the top floor.  The Router is a 6th Generation Apple Extreme with an Apple Express on each of the other two floors. The internet speed here-to-fore was all over the place on the middle floor and basement with speeds from the teens to the 30's and 40's typical.  Our provider is charging us for 100Mbs.  I put the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 on the middle floor and the whole house is smokin'.  Our house is standard wood framing/floors and drywall and I would recommend this extender with a big AAA+++! We are an Apple household but since they have gotten out of the router business, this extender is a great buy and does a heck of a job.
