This is a well-made and competitively priced 4 port firewall router. Cool

to the touch, boots in 30-45 seconds. Using Lynksis LNE100TX NIC cards in

2 computers, a CNET PRO200WL in a 3rd. All my NIC’s are connected 100% at

100Mbps. Setup is done using your web browser http://192.168.0.1 and has

many advanced features to configure your network. WARNING: Under Local

Area connection Status-Properties, Local Area Connection-Properties, In-

ternet Protocol (TCP/IP Properties), Advanced block, TCP/IP Filtering, DO

NOT DO NOT turn on Filtering by checking the box under Options Tab. YOU

will open up this router firewall to ALL traffic, defeating its purpose-

to keep hackers OUT blocking them with the TW100-BRF114 hardware firewall.

I used my Dell w/XP SP3 IE 7.0 as the 1st machine. It assigns IP address

in sequential order to each device added. After setting up the Dell with

the router, I could not connect to my cable ISP because THEY MUST HAVE an

IP address behind the cable modem I installed FIRST. A phone call was all

it took, and my router was enabled by the ISP on the cable network.

Next was to setup the other 2 PC’s on the network, using the Windows net-

working tools they have. DISABLE Internet file sharing on each computer,

or you are at risk of intrusion. The firewall in the router STOPS COLD

every hack attempt that McAfee blocked on dialup. These no longer show up

on my logs, while all wanted traffic passes seamlessly through the router

for email, browsing, shopping, downloads, uploads, and other daily tasks.

Each computer that is setup after the first is registered and enabled on

the network, and I set them to share files and resources like printers to

each other. PC #2 is a Gateway tower w/Windows ME. PC #3 is a Gateway 2000

w/Windows 98. Turning computers on and off a pop-up appears informing you

of connection status. When the router boots, under the networking icon in

the tray on right, 3 yellow dots move right to left until the pop-up tells

you your network is connected and the speed.

Depowering and powering the router, I do NOT have to turn on or off cable

modem or any computer. Excellent PnP ‘hot swap’ compatibility. Rock solid

stability and real compatibility for most home networks. This is my first

router and network installation. Be careful of your settings in the router

and your PC’s, and you should have no problems. Everything should work to-

gether the way it’s supposed to, like my setup.

I used Network Diagnostics for Windows XP on the Dell to troubleshoot. It

is a VERY GOOD tool to use if you encounter any problems, and can avoid a

tech support call, having the info to resolve it yourself in less time.

Special thanks to Amazon.com for making TRENDnet products available. I am

buying more, especially after the reviews of other mfrs. by customers who

have nothing but problems with equipment and attempts at tech support.

Bought this and just set it up in about 20 minutes. Pretty easy setup. The main thing is you have to unplug the power to everything (computer, modem, router) before you start everything up. Once you plug all the Ethernet cables in, Then just go to the website listed in the quick installation guide and go through the prompts. Comes with a 5 year warranty. Is metal. I read two reviews on Cnet from people that had trouble, but they must not know some things that are pretty common knowledge if you’ve been working around computers much – 1. If you have a problem with a computer, turn everything off unplug everything’s power, then plug it all back in and restart the computer (once you’ve had every wire connected right).

Next day network was dead, and I realized that I had to again turn everything off (and this time take the battery out of the modem – cuz otherwise it remembers sumthin’ it’s not supposed to – and then wait a little, put the battery back in). Then plug the power back in and restart the computer. Today everthing worked perfectly (3rd day) – no restart necessary today. This router is supurb – I think personally worth the extra $15 or so to pay for more than some of the other cheaper routers as is made of metal, is relatively small so fits on desk easily and works like a charm. I highly recommend this router.

Just added 2nd computer. Had a little trouble as one of my Ethernet cables was bad, but once I replaced that worked perfectly. I’m pretty darn happy with the whole network/2 computer setup now.
