Has anyone tried to connect this to a TrendNet 1750 AC router? Any issues? What speed connection are you getting?

I have a Trendnet AC1900 router (the TEW-818DRU) and this bridge works great with it. I have a Comcast 50Mbps connection, speedtest.net showed my download speeds to be b/w 45-48Mbps through the bridge (the bridge is 30ft and 2 walls away from the AC1900 router). I didn't test the data transfer speeds from/to hard drives, though.

I would not buy this one. I replaced mine with a TP-Link router and it is a way better router and really easy to connect to. I left feed back on the one I bought to.Have a nice dayTed

I have a dual-band Asus router and it works just fine. You can get on 5 Ghz, but I think the cap is something like 150Mbps. It's a great device, but this thing might be overkill if you aren't using a router with AC. I bought this thing specifically because I got a new router with AC protocol, and I had no devices that could hop on that wireless protocol. Well worth it if you plan on using AC devices.

WiFi 802.11n adapter did not work well for me. However, this did "Actiontec Ethernet to Coax Adapter Kit". Homeplug might be an option, but in my house they did not perform well enough because I have AFCI breakers which interfere with the homeplug devices. Prior to my circuit breaker upgrade, I was getting 50mbps over using PlasterNetworks (now out of business) homeplug devices. After the new circuit breakers, I was getting 3mbps.

Personally, I haven't had any problem at all. I have my router in the other room and it connects just fine. I can't really give you an answer, because I have not experienced that kind of problem. Hope you figure it out. Good luck

I haven't tried it yet. I'm using the August 2013 firmware. I don't have any problems with the router, but my use is pretty simple.

Thanks. I decided to go for it. My parents have the older model and I decided that if it didn't work for me we could trade routers. It ended up working beautifully, and so far I am quite satisfied. I haven't tried out all the new features yet, but I am getting good connection throughout the house.

I have the Trendnet 1750 and this adapter works perfectly with it. I have TWC 300 Mbps connection, the adapter is about 30-40 feet away, around the corner with the kitchen between the two and their are a few other 5 Ghz networks in my apartment complex, and I still easily get 200-275 Mbps at the adapter.

I have mine working with an Asus AC2400 router and I had to download a new firmware upgrade for my router. Worked fine after that.Did you call Edimax cusotmer support? They are actually pretty good. They can perform a remote diagnose.

Get a better internet connection and use a Ethernet wired connection to go on-line (no WiFi). Had the exact same issues until I discovered that my standard Time Warner standard internet connection was barely able to keep up with the HD bandwidth requirement and my WiFi signal was only average due to the router being on the other end of the house. This resulted in many frequent video breakups and rebuffering episodes, which was annoying to say the least and discouraged watching online content. Broke down and pulled CAT6 cabling throughout the house, and upgraded Time Warner to Turbo level to get close to 20Mbs vs. the standard 10Mbps. A one time pain, but it makes all the difference in the world. Will never go back to using WiFi again except for basic web surfing on the laptop. Also, using the right router can make or break the difference. I got rid of my Time Warner provided WiFi integrated router to a dedicated Cisco small business router. Huge difference, and can now run gigabit, which far exceeds the requirement of what my Samsung TV & BluRay requires.

There are two ways to connect - ethernet wire to your router (best way) or use a ethernet powerline connection. I ordered the Linksys powerline for $114 and literally plugged it in and it works. It uses your existing electrical outlet to transmit the signal and lost not speed from my cable modem. If you use a traditional wifi it can be limited on speed and transmission can be choppy.

Not possible with my router (WNR3500 which is 2.4Ghz) . Needs to be 5Ghz. I'm returning the bridge and getting the bundle which is two of them.

The power of this unit is very strong, but it does not live well with a router that wants to refresh the IP lease. Check with Amped Wireless tech support to see if the Router you are using will work with it. Th Amped AC2000 is a wireless access point that has good range too and is happy on any network. good luck John

No. If you are just setting it up take the ethernet connection out of the back of your router and plug it into the Trendnet device to run through the CD installation. Then when it's done, put the ethernet back into the router and then go plug your Trendnet in whatever you are connecting wirelessly and your done. I just literally did it since someone hit the reset button and erased all my initial setups :).

For me, the AC it´s not good at all. The range is not as good as the N router. For example, I have my AC router in one room and my computer in another room, very close, and I prefer always the N connection because is faster. Maybe the AC is good if you are in the same room, but not for all your house. Next time I will be buying a N900 router with dual band (450+450), not an AC router.

Yes, my solution was to return the Adapter and run a Cat6 Ethernet cable from the router down through the cellar to the livingroom and up the wall to my TV. Vierra Link works fine now !! Ended up saving money with a little more work. Plus it's always connected.

I have 35Mbps and it works fine. I was able to use it with a split Ethernet cable connection to my router also without any problems. I would advise against using a wireless connection based on my experience though.
