Reviews of the Trendnet Wireless N-Draft Router
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast throughput speeds; lots of security and configuration options; generous warranty and support options.
The Bad: Based on unfinalized wireless specification; pricey.
The Bottom Line: The Trendnet TEW-631BRP's throughput scores led the pack of Draft N routers, but hold your horses and wait to see how the 802.11n spec pans out.
