Comments about Trendnet 300Mbps Wireless N 4-Port Media Bridge:
I used the Wireless N 4-port media bridge to replace a pair of powerline network adapters that sundenly failed leaving my satellie receiver, Slingbox and Blue-ray player without broadbamd connectivity. I replaced the powerline adapters with new (refurbished) units but couldn't get the new units to work. After returning them for a refund, I looked for a more favorable Wireless N solution and foud this product. I was skeptical that the media bridge would indeed easily recognize my network. Initially, I foud the installation instructions for the media bridge to be complicated. I attempted to follow the steps, connect to the product's website, and then download an installation application. After several attempts, the website address provided in the instructions would not connect. I then attempted to use the alternate instructions that used the refresh buttons on the router and the media bridge. The bridge did not recognize the router on the first two attempts (the refresh button flashed blue and then turned red). Frustrated, I tried rebooting the cable modem and the router. I repeated the steps and after about 120 seconds the refresh button on the media bridge stiopped blinking and turned steady blue. I checked the satellite receiver and found that I had a nice clean connection through my network to the Internet. Next, it was just a matter of plugging in the Ethernet cables from the Slingbox and the Blue-ray player and "away we went" at 300Mb/s. I recommend skipping the website method, rebooting your router and using the one-button method. The product worked out great for me.

Am using to connect TV to home wifi network. Took 5 minutes to install using WPS set up feature (my router has this). Worked well right from the start. Easiest hardware install I have ever had.

Bought this to hook up my internet ready TV that has an ethernet port for the internet. Didn't have a way to plug a cat-5 into it.
I'm running an AT&T 2-Wire router in my house and the router is several rooms away from the TV. The router does not have the instant Wi-Fi "find me" button.
When I looked at the instructions it wasn't making complete sense to me as I recently switched to a MAC and couldn't figure out how to get into the configuration settings on my computer. The instructions are geared for a PC.
I called TRENDnet Customer Service and they walked me right through it.
It seems to be working very well. So far all I've done is downloaded some YouTube clips to play with the internet through the TV. i have not yet tried to download a Netflix or Hulu clip in true HD.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I haven't had an opportunity to test the full HD capability. In talking to the TRENDnet person he told me if I wanted to maximize the HD streaming I should have bought the 450mbps model but this one should also do it as long as i don't have other things using the web at the same time.
I bought this model based on price only after looking at some on-line reviews that said it was good.
So far I am very happy with it.

Very Easy to intall and setup. With 1 button setup with Wifi Protected Setup feature I was up and running in less then 5 minutes. I was able to stream 1080P video thru my Comcast internet service with any pixelation or picture freezing up

Use this Wireless bridge to pick up internet for my XBox 360. Works great! Now I can put the XBox where-ever I want and still have XBox Live and Netflix. Best part is, I'm not using up one of the USB plugs like the Microsoft wireless adapter would.

Adding this to my network was a breeze. The enclosed documentation guided me through the process. I am using this for network access to my smart TV and old Xbox 360. I have this unit for close to a month and did not need to reboot the bridge yet. Not bad for [$].

Comments about Trendnet 300Mbps Wireless N 4-Port Media Bridge:
I have used this device to connect my Xbox 360 and my PS3 to my network at wireless N speeds. The fact that one device connects both systems is awesome. The data rate has been excellent and there have been no connectivity problems.
The only complaints I have are that the easy setup does not work and the connection speeds lag every now and then.
Even with my complaints, I am totally satisfied with my purchase.

I use it as an additional access point (in addition to my wireless Router) to connect to my other devices that use Internet.
It is well worth the price and is very easy to perform the one time setup.
