I had just been using my friends wi-fi for my laptops, and my Ethernet for my ps3, and this router gave me enhanced speed and quality!
 
Firmware: v1.0.0.35 by Vadim on newegg.com Jun 8, 2011
To the reviewer that says this router doesn't work with Comcast is a complete idiot. The Comcast modem only needs to be reset once so it can reassign the MAC Address from your old Router/Lan port to the new routers WAN. Their is obviously another problem ...

This one works & is reliable! by P. A. Tschirhart "Jacob's Dad" on amazon.com Mar 15, 2012

HORROR by J. Mercia on amazon.com Mar 24, 2012
If your not a TECH JUNKIE don't get this router. I disconnected my old LINKSYS 'G" router and installed this new one. 8 hours later I finally got the Wired portion of the router working. I haven't a clue what all the items needing information are on ...
 
Poor WDS / Repeater Options Buggy by Kyle2321 on cnet.com Dec 10, 2010
Bottom Line. If you need a router that does not lose its Internet connection every few mins or you need to connect 1 or 2 AP's to the router then this is not the device for you. WDS / Repeater is buggy. AP Mac Address must be in slot 1 of the 4 slots ...

Unreliable router, too many dropped connections by Stats on amazon.com Feb 11, 2012
I bought it because of great reviews on Amazon. Mine is v.2. Setup was fairly easy and straightforward and got it up and running quickly. It started out with decent speed and range. A couple of days into it, I noticed random drops on both wire and wireless ...
 
Didn't last 4 months by Jeffrey H. Miller "JHMiller" on amazon.com Nov 27, 2011
I bought this less than 4 months ago. I've been testing it with everything from cell phones to 3 different laptops. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'll accept that a wirelss N router sometimes doesn't broadcast in the proper channel for cell ...

Unfortunately, our first impressions of the TEW-691GR are not all that positive...As you can see from the benchmark charts, the TEW-691GR proved to be very fast, but only when our wireless client was in relatively close proximity...Trendnet recommends reviewers use a notebook equipped with Intel’s integrated WiFi Link 5300 three-stream adapter, because you can’t buy a three-stream USB Wi-Fi adapter today...You could buy and install an intel 5300 adapter but that wouldn't do you much good without the third antenna hooked up to it...
