Good product for the price Dec 23, 2010 By Smujcat
I just picked up this router at a local store here for $19.99. The price absolutely cannot be beat. Installation was as easy as any other wireless router I've owned. Was up and running within 5 minutes. The main reason I purchased this was my Magnavox Blu-Ray player is wireless capable, but my Linksys G router was not fast enough to keep up with the streaming of video.
As soon as I tried this router, all the buffering problems went away!
Video is clear and buffer-free, even running HD video. So far so good!
My laptops all connect to it with no problems, and the signal is clear and strong throughout the house.

Crazy Value for the price Jan 25, 2012 By Phil @ Amazon
I needed to replace a wireless router to get a Wii connected using security. The W268R was the cheapest 4-port wireless router available.

I connected cables from Cable Modem to W268R WAN and my PC to a LAN port, and plugged it in. With _zero_ configuration from me, my PC could immediately get to the internet. That made it very easy to download info on getting past the Wii wi-fi security bug. (it can't use long passwords, the workaround is to enter it in hexadecimal)

It seems that there are at least 2 hardware versions, based on a Ralink and Broadcomm chipset. I upgraded to the most recent BIOS for mine (Ralink). I guessed my chipset from looking at status info.

Besides the Wii, it supports several PCs, wired and wireless, an iPhone 4S, several iPod Touches, and several Android phones. The Apple devices do not have the problems that others have described about keeping connections waking from sleep mode.

It's almost unfair to knock this thing at this price, but I have to say that the documentation is not the best. General router knowledge gets you past most things, but not all.

Setting it up as a Wireless Access Point (WAP) to extend my wireless network has been frustrating. I can't get it to use WDS protocol with my FiOS router. I've finally settled for setting up a 2nd wireless network and tieing it to the FiOS router.

Setting it up as a subnetwork with static routing also got tantalizingly close, but never fully worked. I gave up a LAN port and used the switch to tie it into the FiOS router for a single network.

There seems to be no option to turn off NAT and the firewall.

For $15, the fact that I can even be complaining about these advanced options pretty much says it all. Most users won't have to worry about it, and for the price of a pizza, they get a solid device.

Update: I was able to get WDS working. Main router connected to W268R via WAN port. Under WLAN, under WDS, set it to 'Repeater', use Open Scan, then pick the wireless network to repeat. Go back and set all the SSID, channel and Security settings the same as the main router. I was able to connect to the internet with the same WLAN credentials, with a higher reported connection speed, so it seemed to work. I still could not get it to work as a _wired_ LAN subnet once I moved it to the desired location. So, in the end, it seems like a great $15 Wireless Access Point (WAP), but a poor LAN extender. I'll be trying the TP-Link TL-WR841N next.

Only worth it if it's free Mar 25, 2012 By Eygpt Uno
I unfortunately have to give it 1 star just to post a review it's not worth that but here is my experience with this piece of ..... equipment.

Luckily I got this from Microcenter for free, I have tried to use it but it is the most unreliable device I have ever used. It works fine when connected, if it connects at all or if the connection lasts long enough to be useful. It becomes unresponsive and cannot be accessed through wireless or direct cable connection.

Plenty of configuration options which give the impression of a powerful full featured device in a small package, but they are useless since the device doesn't stay connected long enough to be useable.

When my new router arrives it will be thrown in the trash, I wouldn't even want my reputation soiled by selling it or giving it away. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by simply burning your money instead of purchasing this, at least you would get heat and light.

Not such a good product Jul 05, 2012 By Richard
I bought this product to replace my Netgear Wireless router as the Netgear dropped wifi connections several times a month. I have had this for two week without an issue; also it emits a stronger signal, 3X stronger than my Netgear unit. It looks sharp, and no antenna sticking up from the base. Very easy to program. The vendor shipped quickly and it arrived on time. Would buy from him/her again. SIX WEEKS LATER: Had to drop my star ratting as the Wifi connection drops off all the time, and I have to use an Ethernet cable connect. Working with Customer Service to resolve problem. But they seem to want you to leave a message, so I will have to complete this report when they call me back. FOUR DAYS LATER: No call back yet !! POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE - Actually no customer service.

W307R Wireless-N Broadband Router May 20, 2012 By C. Dickey
Purchased this device from a local, very reputable audio dealer in Seattle in Dec '11. All iPads, iPhones, Macs, and PC's in our household connect to it's wireless signal, except my old 3G and brand new 4S does not. Called Comcast, who urged me to call Tenda. Tenda says it has 24/7 service, but a very difficult to understand Far Eastern individual with heavy accented parlance answered the call. He very quickly tried to sell a $169 1-yr service package. I objected. Then he tried to sell a similar $39.95 service package. It's cheaper to buy a new router than go through this economic foolishness.
