TEW-692GR 450Mbps Simultaneous Dual Band Router

Trendnet launches TEW-692GR the fastest dual band wireless router delivering the high speeds up to 450Mbps each band concurrently

i was wondering why Trendnet didn't introduce wireless N750 dual band router, the router with concurrent dual bands delivering the high speed up to 450Mbps in 5GHz band and up to 300Mbps in 2.4 GHz band like it's competitors Linksys, Netgear and Belkin. Finally I realize that Trendnet would like to be the fastest router delivering the high speed up to 450Mbps each band concurrently. It's not a wireless N750 but the first wireless N900 router.
Linksys launches the new E4200 N750 router in January 2011 and shipped the router before Netgear did its WNDR4000 N750 router into the market. Around April 2011, Belkin also shipped its new generation Belkin N750 DB router. After being showcased in concurrently in jan 2011.
What this Product Does

The Tew-692GR is the first router with the speeds up to 450Mbps in each band concurrently. Many of you are familiar with the N300,N450, N600 and N750 routers, but this one should be the first N900(450Mbps+450Mbps) routers in the market.

Like other new generation of wireless routers, the TEW-692GR supports Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) to help you connect the clients (with WPS enable) to the network by just pressing a button. It supports the strongest wireless security encryption up to WPA2-Radius.

Like other high performance wireless routers, the TEW-692GR includes gigabit Ethernet ports for LAN (4x) and WAN (1x) interfaces for fast wired speed. You can utilize the gigabit Ethernet ports to connect to your computers with Gigabit NIC ready for optimum data throughput.

Multiple Guest Networks

This is interesting , the TEW-692GR supports up to four (4) virtual networks (SSID) each bands for totally eight SSIDs it can support. We know that Netgear supports guest network each band for totally four SSIDs. Linksys and Belkin supports up to 3 SSIDs.
Unfortunately, the router doesn't support USB port for shared storage or shared printer. Like its competitor Linksys E4200 and WNDR4000 that support the shared storage with built-in media server, with the absence of USB shared storage you need to manage the storage differently. This is the disadvantage side of this router so far.
