Feature Set and Options: TRENDnet Draft N Router
The TEW-633GR comes feature packed and offers all the goodies expected of today's leading routers. We'll cover a few of the more interesting items that make this product stand out in a crowd in greater detail on the following pages, but here's a quick overview.
TRENDnet's offering comes in a sleek, all-black casing with the standard array of status lights - power, wide area network (WAN) connectivity and activity, local area network (LAN) connectivity and activity (for each port), wireless LAN (WLAN) activity, and Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) status. This last allows the user to easily synchronize supported components at the touch of a button. A physical switch located on the side of the router allows the user to securely disable the wireless functionality for those that wish to use this router in an all-wired environment.
The package contents include the router, a 12Vdc 1A power adapter, vertical base stand, a single ~5ft. RJ-45 CAT5 network cable, a multi-language Quick Installation Guide, and a CD-ROM containing drivers, an automated router install/replacement routine, an electronic User's Guide, a 30-day fully functioning trial version of Network Magic, and a complimentary subscription to McAfee Internet Security Suite (which we couldn't get to work after several attempts).

One thing I've noticed about these home routers is that they advertise having a firewall as a feature, yet they clarify that it is a SPI. I understand these are limited firewalls (detect and filter malformed packages, and such). But when compared to a sofware firewall just how good are they? (Beyond being able to add unlimited number of rules on the software side ones).For my own network I use 2 routers with their SPI firewalls enabled and both having NAT enabled. In addition I'm using a software firewall (Trendmicro on Windows Vista) on all PCs. How 'secure' am I?

NAT will protect you from unsolicited traffic unless you have UPnP enabled. Your software firewall won't add much apart from outbound protection but by the point malware is phoning you are already in trouble but it can serve as a useful warning.Lawranc031 - Monday, March 14, 2022 - link
