Customer Review: Not bad... just not very good either
Summary: 3 Stars
This router is a great value if you're in a hurry to get things set up on a budget. That being said, it only lasts about 6 months before going totally nonresponsive... (as in, you can no longer access the router from your computer... the only feature that works is auto setup. So your router will continue to transmit a signal.. unsecured... so if you're fine with your neighbors using your broadband to stream netflix, this is the router for you. If not, read on.) I've worked in IT for many years, and the reliability for this particular router definitely comes up short. Like I mentioned, its good to start with for $24, but make sure you save up for another better one in six months or less...Customer Review: I'm no techie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was worried to death about having to set up a wireless router since I'm not too good with stuff like that (I usually end up on the phone with tech support for hours). This router was very easy to set up...I had my desktop and my laptop up and running again after about 5 minutes. And I didn't even have to call tech support!
I have this router set up in one of the back bedrooms and I mainly use my laptop at the other end of the house...so far (knock on wood), it's never dropped signal on me and the signal stays pretty strong. I've had it for about 4-5 weeks now and after setting it up, I haven't messed with it at all and it has given me no problems whatsoever.
Customer Review: Fullfilled my expectations, with a few extra surprises!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having your wireless and wired routers in one device is really a time and hassle saver. Your entire network ends up one on IP address range, making things like LAN parties with some users wired and others wireless a piece of cake.
This particular router more than lived up to my expectations. All advertised features work as expected, but there's one feature they forgot to mention: This router supports automatic updating of a DynDNS account. If you use VNC or some other service on your network from outside your home and don't have a static IP address with your ISP, this is an invaluable feature. Why run software on your home computer when your router can do it for you!
Customer Review: Super Value & Easy Setup
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my first time using a wireless router and the set up could not be easier. I used the supplied CD-ROM which gave a simple step by step video setup. The whole setup took about 10 minutes.
I am using this to connect my PS3 to the internet. So far I have only lost the connection once, and all I had to do is reconnect which took less then 15 seconds.
I got this on sale from Amazon and after reading the reviews I was a little concerned, but it works, and it works great. The signal however does vary, I saw it as low as 65% and as high as 85% but it stays connected during those times.
All in all, I am happy with the router.
Customer Review: Good solid router, cheap and reliable.
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this for a family member. I was kind of leery on buying a cheap router. I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of setup and the overall ease of use. I suppose there are features not present here but I couldnt find anything major missing. Security, VPN and more are really easy to do.
I am very happy with the range too for such an inexpensive router.
Pros:
>> Cheap
>> Good signal at range
>> Decent speed
Cons:
<< Feels weaker in spots
Summary:
Overall this is a really good, solid performing albeit plasticy feeling router.
Thank you for reading my review.
