    • The range is excellent
    • Range is limited.
    • Very good range, easy setup, excellent cost compared to other AC3200 routers and this router is a winner.
    • I am sure this unit will last just as long as my older router which BTW, I have it hooked up to this one on the network as an extender and my range is phenomenal !!
    • Don't have any devices that us AC, but the wireless N range is better with this wireless router than it was with my previous one.
    • In practice, I found the range to be terrible
    • To top it off, the range was a bit worse than my ASUS router
    • The range and speed of this router is very good.
    • However when this router is working: the range is generally good and the speed also.
    • Works easily, but the range is so limited that I can't use it in the bathroom.
    • Once I got past the "One or more network protocols are missing on this computer" problem with the help of TrendNet support, the router has worked fine - greatly extending the range of my old router and providing band separation for several uses / users (though the 5 GHz band range is less that I am getting from the 2.4 GHz band)
    • It took six hours and six phone calls to get the wireless feature to work, and it still only works about half the time with poor range compared to my six-year-old G-class router, and I have to restart it many times each day because the connection keeps dying.
    • Now that it is in full operation it is faster than a jet plane and the range is excellent

    • The range is good enough that I no longer need my two range extenders I installed last year because I was too cheap to buy a big boy router.
    • Coverage isn't as good as I would have liked for the 5 GHz, (doesn't reach upper level of my house well) but the 2.4 has a great range

    • Excellent range, have not had any problems with this router, would buy again.
    • Easy to use and good range in our two story house.

    • The range of the 5.4 Ghz radio is not fantastic, but cheap, fast, and effective.
    • 2.4 range is great but the 5G range sucks
    • I got to say, the range in comparison to my previous router is a vast improvement
    • The range is not great but this can be improved with an in home amp if necessary

    • Great range and connectivity, no issues with a networked printer, Voice over IP phone or 3 users online simultaneously - 2 streaming and one playing online XBox games.
    • * Range is good for a cheap router, the signal is strong and stable enough for streaming HD Amazon Instant videos at: about 40ft from the router through 2 Brick walls and a wood wall
    • Easy install, decent range at 2.4GHz (80-110 feet through several walls and one floor)
    • My previous router lost range across my 2300sf home however this router has great reception no matter what room you are in and even outside
    • So, couple this new batch of problems to the abysmal range of the 2.4Ghz and the uselessness of the 5Ghz band past 1 wall
    • Very good range as well.
    • The range of both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz was not that impressive in a 2 story small 1,400 sq ft house.
    • From the start, the range of this TRENDnet router was disappointing

    • Good range
    • Nice router, excellent range and reliable.
    • Awesome router with greater features and range
    • It has excellent range throughout my house
    • I would expect the TRENDNet to be better at handling multiple devices simultaneously, with its MU-MIMO technology, with its slightly better range, and with its optimized gaming support

    • My go to router has for the past several years has been the Apple Airport Extreme as they have been consistently the most reliable router, yet not the greatest range either
    • that.*The Belkin Wireless N was the worst and most expensive of the bunch, it was slightly shorter range and had the slowest throughput, and its USB server does not work with allot of Hard Drives, none of mine worked with it.*The D-Link DIR-655 has the same range and throughput performance as the TRENDnet TEW-731R and more features like a smooth functioning USB server, but it cost allot more and the USB server does not work with android
    • You would probably have to get an expensive 802.11ac router or maybe one of the most expensive 802.11n routers to get much better range or throughput in a single band, so if you need better WiFi coverage just get a good repeater.
    • The only downside I can think of is the range, I live in a small apartment and the signal is very low in some of the corners, but to be fair, there are 2 concrete walls in between, if you have a big home and more than two concrete walls this might not be the product for youPrice-wise, and based on my needs this is a 5 stars product.
    • if you have a big house with two floors this one is not going to do give a good and strong range of wifi signal
    • The range is great and it supports b/g/n/ac and 2.5 and 5mhz.
    • Range was much better than my previous TP-Link and the 5GHz freq is much faster than the crowded 2.4GHz freq.
    • Very very poor range.
    • The range is good, (maybe 30 yards?), but for the most part the router and laptop are in the same room
    • The range is great
    • I guess is that if you are getting a new wireless router to get better 5GHz range, through a wall or two...

    • The 5.0GHz does not have a good range but the 2.4 does

    • I have noticed that sometime the range is not adequate and should be a bit more farther
    • Range is limited.
    • Reason for only giving this three STARS is that I bought this to replace my old Linksys WRG54 thinking that I'd have a little better range than based on the tech info over the older "G" model
    • Once set up, it has worked well with quick speeds and good range.
    • So, couple this new batch of problems to the abysmal range of the 2.4Ghz and the uselessness of the 5Ghz band past 1 wall
    • Good range, compact and easy to place
    • Trendnets AC1900 is supposed to get better range, and I think I would get that one if high speed over 50 feet is important
    • Great range (reaches my neighbor's house).
    • The range on this thing is unrivaled.
    • it works fine, set up was a doozy, the range however not so good for a family sized home

    • The speeds on the 5 g network are as fast as when I'm wired up
    • Half of my devices are now on the AC band, while the other half are on the N band which works out great
    • I replaced an Arris TG852G modem/router and really miss how you could hover your cursor over an
    • Downside is not enough indicator lights (wifi 2/5G, wired connection).
    • Sometimes I'd lose connection on one of 5G/2.4G and switching to another solves the problem.
    • The 5g doesn't travel thru walls as well as the 2.4g but works on the newer tech ok
    • Pros: Gig-E ports, compact, light, cool
