Looking for super-fast wireless router for your home at a low price?

Buy.com has the TrendNet TEW-632BRP for $24.99 with free shipping, a 64 percent savings off the $70 list price and a good $30 off the lowest closest retailer price we could find.

This four-port switch features 128-bit encryption, DMZ port, NAT support, 64-bit encryption, auto-uplink (auto MDI/MDI-X), dynamic DNS server, MAC address filtering, URL filtering, IP address filtering, MIMO technology, and virtual server support.

CNET hasn't reviewed this router, but Google product reviewers gave it 4 and a half stars out of 5, with many noting that installation was a breeze.

The router has an indoor maximum range of 330 feet and supports 802.11 standards b, g, and n (second draft). And at four times faster than that g router you are still using, this little router is likely to serve your wireless needs for years to come.

Second draft? Can it not support the final N specification thats out now?

Warning: cnet and newegg users are really unhappy with this router. The average rating from 12 cnet users is 2/5 (http://bit.ly/1FXReD) and 47% of 54 newegg users give it a 1 or 2 out of 5 (http://bit.ly/3txTwr).

For what it's worth, I find that almost all routers get poor user ratings. I don't know if that's because people don't know how to configure/use them properly or if they're just unreliable products overall, but I can't say I've ever had a problem with a router.

This is good advice! While it is true that lots of folks don't know how to properly set up routers, if you read the comments from the 1 and 2 star reviews on newegg, you'll see that they're not the usual run-of-the-mill comments you get from folks that don't really know what they're doing. Instead, it does appear that there are some serious firmware and hardware issues with this router. I would definitely think twice about buying it based on the reviews I've seen.

Good job Cnet Staff!

I have the earlier version of this and it's great! And their tech support is 24/7, never had a wait AND they are totally mac competent.

Too bad it is from Buy.com. Got messed over by them 4 years ago. They are on my blacklist.

[jduffman]

Bummer!! This one has already sold out.

[ashfordjm]

Already sold out :(

Please find me another cheap router, I'm trying to join the wireless world and am pretty overwhelmed with all the choices...

[krubby]

no idea if it is any good or how the specs are different, but the same site has the 653bpr for ~ $35.00. $10.00 more I know but may still be a good deal. I will note I did not take much time to compare the two models and not sure what is much different between the two

[lovethegadget]

Ok - so you can't beat the price - but I'm still crazy about the Netgear RangeMax WNDR3700 N Router. I found it on sale at Amazon as well. It is super fast, easy to set up and I haven't had a single problem with it. If you're looking for a serious price cut - stick with this one - but if you're really interested in a good price and great performance check out the Netgear WNDR3700. You won't be disappointed!
