NOV

2007

With my not having any networking experience, I installed a secure network with this router in 4.5 days! The trouble is that it only comes with a CD with the user's manual, and instructions that are only useful once you get to the setup page. The trick is finding the http:// URI (it is not www) towards the end of the manual. Once you have connected the router to a power outlet and to a live internet jack, plug the URL into your web browser and then follow the instructions. The other thing to watch out for is that the bottom of the router gets fairly warm, so put it on a hard surface and not on cloth or fabric.

The router works wonderfully! It only has one antenna, which is sufficient. There are multiple options to password-protect the network, name it, and do many other things with it. I purchased it off of www.buy.com, where they are constantly offering rebate deals on electronics and other products.
