TEW-921DAP

Getting 600mbps out of these in MESH format, only real complaint is the super bright blue LED.

I have this paired up with another TRENDnet POE managed switch. It works perfectly with my FortiGate 60F. I enjoy having the networks VLAN tagged so traffic can be easily managed at the switch and the gate. Very simple interface and the physical appearance gets the seal of approval from the wife.

Excellent little hidden gem, and VERY well supported. Like most Trendnet stuff, this one is well worth your $$. Make sure you've got a good poe+ circuit/switch, don't get cheap. We're using 3 now on a 6k sqft house on 3 floors, and they replaced 9 ap's. Touche, Trendnet!

I was hoping to replace the old one with the same but it’s been very difficult to figure out how to use and change the name and password to match the rest of the house

I'm using this device as an access point for the other side of my house. It has 2 Ethernet ports, one I use to connect to the network and the second I use it connect to a switch so some other devices can be hardwired.

This review applies to two TRENDnet products with the same issue, the AC2200 TEW-826 and the N300 TEW-755AP. They both have the same firmware bug. They randomly drop clients, even in the middle of streaming, and refuse to let the clients reconnect. If you reboot the Access Point, then it lets the clients reconnect immediately (until the next time it happens). Clueless TRENDnet tech support was unable to resolve the issue and told me to return the products, which I did. I say "clueless" because they completely ignored the diagnostic logs generated by the products and just ran me through the standard script, making no effort to actually diagnose the problem. These products work fine otherwise, but this issue makes them unreliable. I have an older TRENDnet product which does not exhibit this issue. I finally bought a Netgear product to replace these duds. I gave them 2 stars because if TRENDnet ever gets their act together and fixes the firmware bug, then these would be good products, just like the older TRENDnet product that I've had for years. Until then, look for something else more reliable.

I recently deployed a new TEW-826DAP and updated the firmware. Periodically, and especially with Apple devices, clients get dropped and, sometimes, cannot reconnect without rebooting the access point. Many times, I have had to turn off and on the wifi on an affected client. But sometimes even that doesn't work, so I have to dismount the AP, unplug and replug it, disconnecting everyone else in the house. This is random. I may go one day just fine and another day it happens very frequently. I am moving on to another brand and model.

I was surprised by how well the TEW-825DAP covered the area compared to the Trendnet 753DAP version. Good features to easily configure two units to work together in a mesh environment.
