The first issue is that you haven't described your network configuration
at all. Is this the main router that goes to your ISP device or is
there another router/computer/device that does that? Is this router
connected to your network through the WAN or LAN port?
The way I configure networking is that I have a computer running Fedora
that is the primary gateway and router for the network and then I have
wireless routers acting only as access points connected to the network
through the LAN ports. No DNS, no DHCP, just connecting wireless to
wired network.

That would be an Android phone.
Unless this router is the primary routing device, it is unlikely to see
any devices on the wired network.
2. The router has a DNS server in it. The server doesn't know anything
about any of these devices, so I will have to set up /etc/hosts in
all of the computers in the local net manually. Trendnet customer
support has informed me that this is not a bug but a feature.
I don't understand what you are expecting here. How would the router
have DNS entries for the computers on your network?
3. There are issues with the way the router's DHCP sets up the attached
computers so that searches aren't referred to higher level servers
in my local net. More devices have to be entered into /etc/hosts by
hand.
Again, I don't know what you are expecting. Either the router handles
DHCP or it doesn't. There is no passing it on. I expect your problems
are mostly a configuration and wiring issue.
Does anyone know what's going on here? Can anyone recommend a router
that handles networking properly and that puts out a strong signal for
my wireless hot spot?
This router appears to be supported by dd-wrt which you might want to
look into. I install openwrt on all the access points I use because it
gives me so much more capability and configuration options.
