Value -
Value is another very subjective topic. What is expensive to some might be a deal to others. You can look at this topic in multiple ways. One is raw price and the other is what you get for the money. Each is accurate and both are correct ways to look at price/value. We tend to look at features, performance and real-property when we discuss value. However, we also take into account the raw cash cost of the item. At $145 per unit from most online retailers the TRENDNet TEW-812DRU is a good buy. You are going to get solid performance and a good feature set for not a lot of money. This is going to work for most consumers, but you might see enthusiasts/gamers go for another product even if they need to spend a little because of the lack of a good gaming profile options.

Conclusion -
What can we say about the TRENDNet TEW-812DRU that we have not already said above? It is a solid product that can give you some excellent speeds when you combine them with the proper adapters.  TRENDNet has done a good job of bridging the small business and residential gap with their UI although we do think they need to work on some of their advanced features to make their products easier to use by the average consumer and also to add appeal to gamers and enthusiasts. These are groups that often have more discretionary income, but they tend to go for products that cater to what they want over more generic ones. However, this does not make the TEW-812DRU a bad product. It has a good price point combined with excellent performance and that is sure to make it popular to just about anyone.

For its solid performance and great price point we are happy to award the TRENDNet TEW-812DRU our Silver Key Award.
