Pros

Build Quality, Design, LCD Screen, Wireless Range, Sustained Speeds, Simplified Web Interface, Gigabit LAN/WAN Ports, Dual Band (2.4/5GHz)
Excellent TCP throughput in most locations; dual USB ports; relatively strong NAS performance.
Easy Setup, LCD Screen, No More web Interface if I so Choose, Black (I like black), Dual Band with Dedicated Media Streaming Band.
The Trendnet TEW-673GRU supports true dual-band and has consistently high throughput speed at close range. It offers signal stability and comes with a well-organized, responsive Web interface. It also has two USB ports that support external hard drives...

Cons

Wireless Range Could Be Better
Flakey display; must install client utility to use USB ports; no guest network; no DLNAcompliant server.
I Would Like to see High dBi Antennas, Price Might be High for Some
