TRENDnet TEW-638APB Wireless N Access Point (TEW-638APB)

This Wireless N Access Point came with no installation disc that would work in a Macintosh computor

Relatively easy install and works quite well. Good value for the money!

Pros: Works fine with reasonable signal strength.Cons: Bit of a pain to setup with somewhat poorly written documentation and no help in the web administration interface.Works fine with reasonable signal strength.

The wireless distribution system I thought would be a bridge and act as another wireless hub, well my trendnet router does not allow me to use it as such. The WDS does not work and after running diagnostics it still will not allow me to turn it on and use this AP as a bridge.

I purchased this item to make it so my blu ray player picked up the wireless network. Works like a charm.

Plug and play but only get 124mbps connection 40 feet away... Overall happy with it, no dropped connection during my critical online schooling.

Had 1 unit die after 2 years if you can call that a con. This is the 4th unit I have bought and installed. They work well out of the box and are a good price/value combo.

Setting up in repeater mode requires extensive knowledge in networking. The manual is useless for this purpose. Otherwise works OK. To work in the repeater mode your base router must have WDS ability.

We purchased 4 Access Points (APs) to use in a wireless distribution system. All 4 worked out of the box. We have been impressed with the range of these APs.

The Trendnet TEW-638APB 300Mbps Wrls N Access Point was exactly what I was searching for. We travel with multiple laptops and netbooks. This lets us plug into a…

Haven't had a single issue with it yet.Cons: No issues as of yet.Works like a charm. Placed down stairs in our home to lengthen our network. Router has an issue throwing a signal downstairs. Haven't had a single issue with it yet. No issues as of yet. Going through the access-point then to a wireless bridge and finally to a PC can really degrade the bandwidth strength.

As it turned out the Trendnet TEW-638APB 300Mbps Wrls N Access Point was exactly what I wanted. I had purchased a Amazon Kimble with wi fi access. I only needed…

Pros: Compact, good rangeCons: Somewhat complicated to set up some of the Wifi features. For example, if you use the wizards for quick setup, it will default to not using AES and only use TKIP.Compact, good range Somewhat complicated to set up some of the Wifi features. For example, if you use the wizards for quick setup, it will default to not using AES and only use TKIP. My previous router, with 3 antenna, had less range than this one with 1 antenna.

Pros: Its a cheap b/g/n access point, it does most of what you'd expect of it.Cons: Signal strength isn't amazing, my laptop won't hit 54mbps sitting 7 feet from it, but my old access point was a steady 54mbps while it sat in the basement, and me above it.Its a cheap b/g/n access point, it does most of what you'd expect of it. Signal strength isn't amazing, my laptop won't hit 54mbps sitting 7 feet from it, but my old access point was a steady 54mbps while it sat in the basement, and me above it. It has two removable antennas, which would lead you to believe you could replace them with higher-gain antennas to get the signal further. I tried three different antenna's (7 and 8 dBI, Dlink and Rosewill), and got no increase in signal over the 2dBi antenna (trying to get signal to my garage). Tech support was of no help, only telling me to get another access point, or move it.

For the reviewer stating that WDS is required for it to mesh with other access points is incorrect. This access point works wonderfully with the all too common…

I configured it so easy as a bridge, I am using it to connect my DVD player with wireless ready. So far no issues. I will keep you updated with the behavior of this device.

I cannot rate the product just yet as I found out after the fact that in order to have this setup in another room to extend wireless capability, the router must…

But if you keep that in mind and just want it as a wireless access point (there's a difference) it works well.

Needed router for movie watching does the job wonderfully.

Pros: OK setupCons: Wireless N does not work well over time. Works great for a few days, then stops working, requiring a power cycle, then resumes working. I've bought about 8 of these, and all of them have this problem.OK setup Wireless N does not work well over time.

I purchased one and I'm pretty happy with its setup and a bridge mode configuration. I am however disappointed with its speed and I should have noticed it in…

Pros: Compact. Does what it is supposed to. Cheap when you can get it on sale for $30, $50+ is a little high. The wireless network scan picked up a lot of networks in my neighborhood that my laptop wouldn't (this is not really a pro for me, but opinions may vary).Cons: The directions suck. Sometimes it locks up and you have to reboot the router, not sure how frequently yet.Compact. Does what it is supposed to. Cheap when you can get it on sale for $30, $50+ is a little high. The wireless network scan picked up a lot of networks in my neighborhood that my laptop wouldn't (this is not really a pro for me, but opinions may vary). The directions suck. Sometimes it locks up and you have to reboot the router, not sure how frequently yet. I needed a wireless bridge to put a computer in the front room. This works, but the directions are not clear. I spent way too much time messing with it before I gave it a static IP then things got better. I have done remote desktop + pandora + youtube streaming all at once no problem. I expect this would be a good solution for an XBOX 360 or a streaming Netflix device or Bluray player.

Pros: Inexpensive.Cons: Spent 4 hours on phone with technical support-3 different occasions after I spent several hours trying to set up. We could not get this to work!Inexpensive.

I was looking for an affordable and quick solution to add wireless to a customer LAN. Had this installed, setup, and secured in about 20 minutes.

This is quite the piece of equipment for the price if you can figure out how to configure it. Configuration for the normal user is quite easy, range and speed…

This product worked fine but I did return this because I found that the router I had worked as an access point for me so it was not needed.

Pros: Much smaller than I expected. Option of using a Web Interface or Windows CD to configure the device. I was using this as a bridge/Client to a Wireless-N router that I have. Site Survey also worked pretty well. Configuration was pretty easy.Cons: Speed wasn't nearly as good as I expected and other wireless-n devices that I have. It also tended to disconnect intermittently from my router.Much smaller than I expected. Option of using a Web Interface or Windows CD to configure the device.

Speed wasn't nearly as good as I expected and other wireless-n devices that I have. It also tended to disconnect intermittently from my router. Don't put this right next to your router. I had a problem at first connecting to my router. It ends up that I had to move this device about 5 feet away for it to connect. When it was close, there was too much interference.

Pros: Affordable wireless b/g/n access point with WPA2. After getting the new firmware out of TrendNet it is rock solid 24/7, at least for the last few weeks it has been running the new firmware. Also, the right angle wall wart is a nice touch, you really don't think about it much, but it's nice that it only takes up one outlet space instead of 3.Cons: Getting the firmware out of trendnet, which they still don't list on their website was somewhat of a pain. I understand the support desk probably deals with hundreds of requests per day, but when it's obviously a known issue with the device there's no need to brush people off.Affordable wireless b/g/n access point with WPA2.

Here's the URL for the updated firmware for those having problems with it needing constant power cycling. http://trendnet.com/_uploads/helpdesk/FW_TEW-638APB_V2(1_1_10).zip Hopefully, they'll post it as an official firmware so that people will stop having trouble with an otherwise great access point. If that URL goes dead I've got a copy on my personal website I could post the URL of as well.

Pros: This access point does exactly what it's meant to do. The software that came with it didn't work so well, so I had to configure it by hand, which I prefer to do anyway. Speeds seemed comparable to any other wireless-N card.Cons: None.This access point does exactly what it's meant to do.

admin page WAS problematic, but has been resolved by trendnet's support. this is an update to my previous review. Trendnet contacted me and after a few email exchanges, trendnet responded with a beta firmware update. the admin page works great now. i don't have to power cycle the unit to get the admin page to display.

a new firmware will be available soon that addresses this issue and maybe other tweaks.

great job, trendnet!

Max transfer rate of this device to a TRENDnet tew643pi adapter at a distance of 10 feet, with no blocking structures is 72Mbps. It doesn't go any higher.

Pros: Works fine, after I set up the first time, I have never had a problem with them. I have deployed 3 of these and they are always quick to pick up a new card. I have had these running for over a year or more.Cons: noneWorks fine, after I set up the first time, I have never had a problem with them.

I'm a windows admin by profession, so configuring with a cd wasn't tough, I don't use it for anything but just an access point, don't mess with WDS or those easy to configure features.

good signal admin page via http browser refuses to work after a few days. this requires power-cycling the unit.on one occasion, i had to do a hard reset (pressing on the reset button) and reflash the firmware. trendnet needs to work on the firmware to fix the problems of the inaccessible admin/setup page via the browser.
the last firmware fix addressed "Fixed login issue through Setup Wizard". they need to readdress this cause apparently, something else broke.

Pros: WPA2 support. Cheap, small, fairly good signal. Supports several operation modes I will probably never use, but are convenient should it ever be re-purposed later on. Works way better than the WAB102 that I had before, not counting the lack of A though.Cons: Not much here, some of my wireless devices didn't agree with the WDS & WMM stuff so I turned them both off, since i'm only using it for computers it's not a deal breaker. The ethernet cable that comes with it is quite short at 2' so be prepared for that if you plan on placing it someplace.WPA2 support. Cheap, small, fairly good signal.

Another good product from trendnet. It seems to have a rather large buffer for N devices that causes a bit of latency, but i might have it setup wrong as well so who knows.

Pros: N support, cheap, works as an AP, WDS node or a Bridge client.Cons: Really poor setup utility, default address isn't in the documentation, and looses an egg for these. Default setup is unsecured, and *NOT* set to use DHCP.N support, cheap, works as an AP, WDS node or a Bridge client. Really poor setup utility, default address isn't in the documentation, and looses an egg for these. Default setup is unsecured, and *NOT* set to use DHCP. Defaulting to DHCP with the wireless disabled would be preferred. Easier access for advanced users to check their router, and could scan the local addresses in the client software.

For the money, best access point I found. I have had no issues since installing over 2 months ago. (Running in acces point mode in conjunction with a bridge).…

Pros: Small, light and fairly easy to configure as long as you follow the instructions, which aren't perfect but get the job done.Works great in bridge mode.Cons: Not wall mountable. It's an AP and should be wall mountable. I used some velcro to mount mine so it wan't a big deal and didn't require a hole in the wall this way.Small, light and fairly easy to configure as long as you follow the instructions, which aren't perfect but get the job done.Works great in bridge mode. Not wall mountable. It's an AP and should be wall mountable. I used some velcro to mount mine so it wan't a big deal and didn't require a hole in the wall this way. Keep in mind that only WEP is supported in bridge mode (as documented). If you need better security (e.g. WPA2), look elsewhere.I plan to pick up another one for my PS3 and setup with WDS rather than running CAT5, which would cost more and is a pain to get through the wall in my case.

If you are not well versed in wireless configuration and technology, you should also consider another product.

If you plan to set up two of these as separate WAPs, be sure to use different signal ranges (e.g. 1, 6, 11) to avoid signal degradation due to interference with each other. If both use the same range (e.g. 6) and are within range of each other, you won't get good performance. Also consider the range of neighboring APs in the area and avoid that range, if possible.

Pros: Size is great, nice and small. The price is great for the features you get. If you have a router that has wps then the connection is a snap (My router doesn't have it). I've got it connected to my xbox 360 so the price is nice compared to the more expensive microsoft product and this one gives you some flexibility of placement.Cons: The only way I could get into the web interface was to connect the thing straight to my PC and change the IP address settings on my NIC to 192.168.10.50 as IP. For me there was no other way to get into it. Even now that I have it connected to my router I still can't get into the web browser. My guess is that when it is in bridge mode the only way to access the interface and connected straight to the PC. If it's configured as a true AP then you'll probably be able to get in.Size is great, nice and small. The price is great for the features you get.

Then I plugged the xbox straight into the router first to let it assign the IP address to the xbox, then I plugged the trendnet into the xbox and I was able to connect to live.

This access point was extremely easy to setup, and it's performance is admirable. An excellent choice.

Pros: CheapCons: Although item says 300Mbps that is the spec for 802.11.n. The problem being is that it has a 100Mbps connection to your network. So although your wireless items may be able to connect to each other at a Max of 300Mbps transfer rate, you will only be able to have a 100Mbps connection to your network. Additionally, the 300 and 100 rating is on the Phy layer and the actually speed is lesser do to packet overhead.Cheap Although item says 300Mbps that is the spec for 802.11.n.

Pros: After a little fiddling finally got a point to point bridge up using Pure N and wpa2 connected to my other access point downstairs. Haven't had dropouts - yet.Cons: Both the wizard and the docs were worthless in setting up a pure bridge configuration. High gloss plastic - why do companies use this junk ? Feels and looks cheap.

If you have an unlimited amount of time to mess with it, it MAY connect eventuallyCons: on a scale of one to ten for usefulness, I would assign a MINUS 50.
The "manual" is nothing more than a collection of screen shots with some unintelligible gibberish mixed in.
No matter HOW many times I do a hard reset, the ONLY way to access the thing is through the setup program on the CD, I CAN NOT use the default address to access the box directly.

Pros: Cheap and Effective! I use this device in it's native bridge mode to attach my xbox to my wireless network. Why spend a hundred dollars on something when you can do the same thing for ~$40?
It also gives me the freedom to use this device for other things if I so choose. I have my xbox stream netflix through it and I always get HD quality (if it's available). I've never had any problems.

Pros: Cheap. High specs for the price. Is probably good for anything other than a point to point bridge. Paperweight?Cons: Wireless point to point bridge in N mode is near impossible to correctly configure (have all security disabled for N). Kept forgetting settings. Uploaded the latest firmware and then it started working correctly with amazing speed . . . for about fifteen minutes and then stopped.Cheap. High specs for the price.

Kept forgetting settings. Uploaded the latest firmware and then it started working correctly with amazing speed . . . for about fifteen minutes and then stopped. If you like to torture yourself then this is the perfect item for you! Poor documentation and buggy firmware for point to point bridge. Could not enable security for it to work and also unstable. Spend some extra money on something better. I know I will in the future.

Pros: Price, size, good security options, supports most wireless clients and AP's (b, g, n,... no support for "a" but no one uses that anyway), the simple interface will benefit the inexperienced installer. Covers all major deployment options... AP with WDS, wireless bridge/wireless client. Seems like a great AP for a home or small business network.Cons: As others have stated it does seem to require the CD for initial config, although it seems like it will work without it, I just couldn't get mine to retain the static IP the first time without the CD. Should be wall mountable, especially with it's support for WDS, it's the perfect size to wall mount, but no option too. Documentation is poor if you need it, but anyone with a little experience should be able to install without any documentation, it's pretty much plug and play. I haven't pushed it yet, but I doubt it would support more that a handful of clients efficiently, defiantly not a commercial product, but fine for most home or small business networks.Price, size, good security options, supports most wireless clients and AP's (b, g, n,... no support for "a" but no one uses that anyway), the simple interface will benefit the inexperienced installer.

Was able to turn my whole network into N. Set up was kind of a pain. had to hard wire to router to set up with disk, then able to set it up where I needed it. Hooked it up to a Dlink switch. I now have several things running wireless off of it. My main comp was only getting 65% signal(antenna is behind several layers of wood, and a couple of walls), and now I get 95% or better.

Pros: Somewhat easy setupCons: What's the point of having an AP that can do 300MB/sec when the port on the back of the AP is a 10/100?I purchased this AP to create a wireless bridge from my office to my router since I don't have a cable outlet in my office. Well, guess what? Since the AP has only a 10/100 port on it, it's incapable of doing anything that uses the advantages of wireless N!

Pros: Easy Setup, Good Signal Strength, Low Cost Wireless-N BridgeCons: N/AEasy Setup, Good Signal Strength, Low Cost Wireless-N Bridge N/A Using as bridge to Xbox 360 from Netgear N router, works great.

I picked this up to create a wireless bridge between two wired networks and it works perfectly. It has a nice IP GUI interface great for configuration when you have the IP set. The utility on the CD is great for getting access to it before you have set it up, has much better reception then the card in my laptop. Also makes a great N access point, had no problems with this at all and seems to work better then the Netgear G AP I setup recently, though it costs less and is N.

Pros: Works great in Client mode (set up as a network adapter)Cons: Absolutely could not get it to work following instructions set set up in bridge mode. 24/7 tech support was unavailable.

Pros: antennas are removable, so I will be getting stronger gain antennas later. For now the signal strength is good. Easy to set up, works great.Cons: Had to flash the firmware to get it working. Once i did that and reset the factory defaults, it works great.antennas are removable, so I will be getting stronger gain antennas later. For now the signal strength is good. Easy to set up, works great. Had to flash the firmware to get it working. Once i did that and reset the factory defaults, it works great. Using this for Vonage and Vodeo Game consoles. Once i set it up I attached it to a 5-port hub. Works great.
Also, do not try to set this device up without the install CD. From what I saw, it can't really be done, so your best bet is to follow the directions for setup. And flash the firmware before you start.
Finally, DO NOT flash the firmware using a wireless internet connection.
