My experience with Trendnet products is not very good.
I recently purchased one of their products. the N150, TEW-714TRU from , which was featured here in the SIZZLING! section.
It had a mind of its own, sometimes it worked erratically, and it did not work at all at other times.
I returned it for exchange.
The replacement unit was completely defective.
, as always, took care of the issue gracefully.
Documentation (manual, etc.), is one of the worst I have seen. You need a magnifier to see the text, aside from poor and broken English.
In my book, Trendnet is Highly NOT recommended. They need to get their act together. Very poor quality control.
only issue (I believe) that the SSIS is hardwired and it is not a bridge to extend your current network.
could I use this as an extender for my U-Verse modem/router which is already 802.11ac and does not cover entire house.
I don't have this model, but I use a similar Trendnet AP for a guest network on a separate physical interface with pfSense. Guests get to a captive portal to sign in, and I don't have to give out my internal wi-fi password.
This would work for a great guest network. I love my friends and family, but I don't trust all their phones and having to repeat my password throughout my parties.
I've never had a problem with my Trendnet products.
