Absolutely horribleNovember 1, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this product from the local store to replace an old Linksys router that broke. It has been a month of trying to make this garbage work with all the computers and laptops at home and I am still having all kinds of problems. It works fine with the desktop computer that it is connected to but it just does not work any way with any of the laptops. I tried calling Linksys and the tech pretty much said that bsaed on the information I gave him it does not seem likely that it will work with both laptops, maybe with one of them at a time. I asked him to walk me through the steps of verifying the set up and he wouldn't do it unless I paid him $10 and let him log into my machine remotely which I could not do as it had sensitive work information. He HUNG UP!!! I called a local IT person who came to my house and was also unsuccessful in setting it up to work with both laptops. Bottom line, save yourself the trouble and buy something that is actually compatible with more than one computer, that is unless you are only setting up one connection.
Dial Up 28K is faster. Worst product on amazon!October 29, 2008 0 out of 12 found this review helpful
Last night I was at the computer store and I asked the guy behind the counter about how to make my interwebs faster. he suggested upgrading my hardware to a Wireless router. he said its easy to do and I can get better speeds out of my connection. What a mistake that was! Not only did installation take over 3 hours, but I never got the thing working! There was no spot on it to connect my 28.8K modem either!
So i quickly went back to the store to return the wireless router. I'm sticking with my dial up interwebs from Juno, its faster than this non-usable piece of junk!
could have been betterOctober 28, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
the software that comes with this router is so bloated that setting up a network becomes frustrating. anything you want to connect to the wireless network must have the software loaded, which is fine for computers, but is impossible for printers or game consols. The security software prevents even your own laptops from connecting when fully enabled, even though you have the password. so you have to disable it to connect to the internet thereby rendering it useless. Even though the form factor looks good, the functionality is horrible. The linksys wrt54g, which is the older version, is a much more functional wireless router.
It's OK -- nothing specialOctober 28, 2008 I bought this to replace a Netgear wireless G router that died on me after just four months of use. This is my third wireless router overall and I can say after two months of use that it works around 90 percent of the time. The other 10 percent it either doesn't connect when I bootup my laptop or cuts out mid-use. Then I have to either reconnect manually or even reboot to get my internet connection back. But after having two Netgear routers even if this one isn't great it's better than the others.
The worst thing about it is that after installing it on my laptop my bootup time has just about doubled from ~90 seconds to about ~180 seconds. Maybe it's a Vista issue, I don't know, but I definitely have to wait longer to startup my computer since I got this router. But still, it's better than Netgear.
worth for moneyOctober 24, 2008 This router working amazingly. Block most of the virus attacks. wireless speed is remarkable. Thanks to Linksys for providing such an wonderful wireless router. thanks, Sudhakar.
