Too bad - it cannot act as a wireless bridge otherwise I will jump in one... Bu this is a easy way to upgrade to N without touching the original G network

I have this one and its awesome. Got it for $15.95 brand new @ ebay auction.

This is not a router. It is a wireless add-on to an existing LAN. I use this in conjunction with a linux-based router for my internet access at home. If you already have a wired-only router, this will work well with it.

Actually, if this is V2.0R (and it probably is, it's been available since 2009), it does support wireless bridging!

If you check the V2.0R manual, pg 20., you'll see an option called "AP Mode". Unfortunately it's a bad use of terminology on TRENDNet's part. But if you read the description, you soon realize it enables repeating! When enabled, you specify the SSID, security, etc., of the remote AP (and in case you have multiple AP w/ the same settings, you can add a MAC address to restrict which remote AP is bridged). It then repeats the signal using those same settings. And as anyone familiar w/ networking knows, repeating is just an extension of client mode.

Bottomline, seems to me this can be configured as a wireless client/repeater.

And btw, although it would be unusual, and the lack of a DHPC server is certainly an inconvenience, you can use this as a standalone device if you just want to connect several devices into a small, wireless LAN using static IP assignments.

I have this one. It works pretty well.

It has better range than my Linksys Ultra RangePlus router with the built-in RF antennas.

Let's face it, wireless is unpredictable. Sometimes the crappiest equipment will surprise you, while some of the most expensive will routinely disappoint. One of the best wireless G routers in terms of signal strength I've ever seen is those $10 Verizon/Westell routers that came available several times last year. Using several right now as wireless bridges.
