Pros: Tons of features at a great price. Cons: Virtually none.
Wireless networking has really taken off in the last year. As we learned from mobile phones, wireless brings with it a whole new level of convenience. In theory and in practice, with a wireless-enabled computer, you can walk into a wireless hot spot...
Pros: Looks cool, great range, easy set up. Cons: Advanced options may confuse some users.
After trashing the L
inksys
Wireless-B Network Kit, I wanted to give the router included in the kit a fair shake. The router included is the Linksys Etherfast Wireless Access Point Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port ...
Pros: easy to use and set up, offers DHCP and NAT all in one Cons: Wireless S-L-O-W, little tech support
I received the Linksys EtherFast Wireless router as a gift from my mother and stepfather for Christmas. They had one set up on their home network in order to share out their cable modem to all the computers in their house. Up...
Pros: A networking novice can be up and running in a few short hours. Cons: You don't get the satisfaction of drilling wire holes through walls and ceiling.
I love this house, I really do. So, when I finally abandoned Juno and went DSL, while I wanted to share that connection throughout the house, I didn't want to poke large holes in the place to do it. I mean, what, was I supposed to tear up the carpets,...
Pros: Wireless freedom, while still providing wired ports. Good web-based setup interface. Cons: Initial seutp can be difficult in "upgrade" situations, No power switch.
I've had my home networked by a regular (wired) router for a period of time (See review on SMC 7004ABR Router here at Epinions), and everything worked well. However, I decided that the time had come to go fully wireless, and enjoy the freedom of being ...
Pros: Linksys experience - refined version of the technology. Wireless is freedom! Cons: Line of sight issues. Use access points or third-party antennas if you run into problems.
This technology is amazing.
This particular product is a truly robust, latter version of multiple attempts – by dozens of vendors – to produce an EFFECTIVE Wi-Fi wireless lan router/access point.
Pros: Cheap, compact, easy to set up Cons: Would probably not work in anything bigger than an apartment
As soon as I found out that the same wireless technology used in my office could be used in my apartment, I saw all the fun possibilities (as well as the serious business applications, but there are considerably fewer of those).
Pros: Excellent throughput
Responsive technical support
Excellent for hard-wired networks Cons: Very unstable wireless connection
Constantly needs to be reset to maintain good performance
I purchased the Linksys router on the recommendation of the CompUSA employee who said it was better than the store brand wireless router. So I took home, for $80 minus rebates, the Linksys Wireless-B broadband router. My wireless network is two 802.11b ...
Pros: Very easy hookup with no wiring required! Cons: None I have found.
Introduction Over the years I have had many DJ gigs, as being a disc jockey is a part-time hobby of mine. Being in the computer business, I created a database for my disc and record (remember those?) collection that I would take to the gigs to al ...
Pros: Choose between wireless or wired, simple for novice/adjustable settings for expert Cons: Costlier than wired router, wireless performance not quite as fast as wired (which is inevitable)
Options for Sharing an ISP Connection
I moved into my current apartment with four other people at the beginning of the summer of 2001. My roommates and I all wanted internet access at cable modem speeds. We soon found that our options for...
Pros: cheap, easy to find new or used Cons: not robust for heavy use
I love and hate this little blue box.
I love it because: its fairly priced, its feature rich, its easy to buy (and sell), it basically does what you expect and you can plug in 3rd-party antennas to extend its range.
Pros: Easy to setup, web interface to change settings, wireless! Cons: Need to update firmware in order to get it to run reliably
The Linksys BEFW11S4 is a wireless cable/DSL router with a 4 port switch. Basically this means you can connect a cable modem or dsl modem to it so that you can share it on a network of computers. What drove me to buy this particular model was the...
