TRENDnet TEW-755AP Wireless Access Point

I have a couple of these installed in a concrete stairwell and I am pretty surprised that it can reach from floor to floor considering the floors are 12 inches thick. Pretty easy to install using 2 or 3 screws and the included bracket. I don't use these for any intense internet activity, just ocassional streaming of security cameras and they work very well for me.

Quick delivery, product as advertised. Would buy again.

Working great so far. We have it installed in a high-bay warehouse and the range seems impressive.

I am an IT consultant and found this a doddle to set up. Good feature set with a clear and concise web interface. Only down side is the ethernet port is 100Mb but then not many internet connections will exceed that.Works happily down the bottom of my garden using PoE over a CAT5e cable connected to a Netgear 8 port PoE switch. It is drawing 2W of power with no clients connected at the moment which is pretty low.I had to factory reset it before I could configure it which indicates to me that I got a "return" but I wont hold that against the product. Push in the reset button for 10s for that. It looked pristine and was packaged well. Surprisingly it came with a power wall wart even though it is designed for PoE.The ethernet connection will auto switch MDI/MDIX which means you can plug it straight into a PC/laptop without a switch or hub to get it configured quickly "in situ".I'll be buying some more to flood my house/garden properly.

This AP has it all - 802.11b/g/n, Power over Ethernet, decent user interface, good configuration flexibility, all the options you could ever want.I found this item when I searched Amazon for a Power over Ethernet AP. I wanted to finally install an AP in a permanent location in my house (instead of hanging off my desk) but I didn't want the hassle of having to run BOTH a power line AND an Ethernet cable to the device. Just to be clear, the PoE (Power over Ethernet) function allows you to use ONE cable (the ethernet cable) for both power for the device AND the network connection to the device. The power supplied to the device is DC low wattage (less than 20 watts)In addition, "SHE ... who must be obeyed" had some "concerns" about the appearance of any ceiling-mounted AP and how it might clash with the decor (multiple black antennas hanging down like a large spider). Also, I wanted a device that a Network Engineer (20+ years experience) didn't think was a toy.This device had exceeded my expectations. First (and most important - after all, SHE must be obeyed) the appearance was clean and neat - a white cylinder, a little thicker than a smoke detector - the antennas were all inside the unit, nothing dangling.Once I configured the device at my desk upstairs (gotta start somewhere) we were off. I dragged my notebook downstairs and checked NetStumbler - the signal strength was -20dB - I carried it outside and walked 200' away from my property line and still got -45dB (ok - I was impressed). Dropped NetStumbler and fired up FireFox and it was fast.Back to the desk and configure the basics I use (no SSID Broadcast, mac address filtering, WPA2, PSK, etc., etc.) - was straight forward, the interface was all intuitive (well, ok, I'll admit it - intuitive for a Network Engineer - I don't know how to NOT know the things I know and to see the screens as the "average" person sees them - if you have any issues, ask the IT geek in your friend circle for help and bake them a plate of cookies).The best part was the final physical installation! Since the coverage was so good, I was able to drop my original plans to install it on the 1st floor ceiling (drill hole between floors, run power and ethernet, large mounting area for power transformer, etc.) and instead opted for the 2nd floor ceiling - very near the "utility room" (where I have my cable modem, router, firewall, phone punch-down blocks, etc.). I drilled a hole in the ceiling of the utility room (into the attic), and another in the ceiling of the 2nd floor atrium. I attached the mounting plate around the 2nd hole (light-duty plastic anchors and screws included), ran the cat5 cable between the holes, plugged the cable into the AP and push-twist (think bayonet connectors) and it was mounted!Back at the utility room - plug the other end into the TrendNet PoE injector (I had to buy that separately), plug the injector into the power strip and move the cable (I was previously using at my desk) to the injector - and I was done.Since then - no problems whatsoever. It's been running without any intervention for about 4 months now. We have 3 Windows XP notebooks and 1 Windows 7 notebook - we have had multiple simultaneous streaming video sessions active at the same time with no problems. The AP looks good as you walk up the stairs (I made sure to orient the mounting plate so the 3 blue LEDs would present a symmetrical appearance - very cool - you can also turn the LEDs off if you want).I have been recommending this item to my friends and to several business that I support.The only thing I have left to determine is longevity. A lot of the APs I have used in the past have burned out in 6-9 months - we'll see. I'll try to revisit this review after a year and let you know. I'm also going to try to set up a test for dropped packets (as I read in the other review) and report on it too.Hope this helps.
