TRENDnet TEW-691GR 450Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router Review

Others/Networking Gear by stefan @ 2010-07-15

TRENDnet have developed one of the first 450Mbit model routers, with the code name TEW-691GR. From the performed tests, we cannot see ultra high speed on Wireless 300Mbit devices, but the manufacturer claims that when having 450Mbit adapters, the situation changes completely. A firmware update will also be available later to enhance the performance with 300Mbit adapters and the Wired speed was the best I have seen throughout all the routers I have tested in the past.
