lap46 says "netgear 2g wireless router is well worth the money" about NetGear 2g wireless router

lap46 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:07:42 GMT

the netgear 2g wireless router is well worth the price you pay for it. you have a very good connection with this router.there is times where you loose youor connection but it is easy to get back on. you can have up to 4 wired computers to it and endless numbers of computers wireless. you can also set it so that no one else can access your wireless network without the password. All information is sent over a secured signal. setup can be a bit of a pain though but if you are very computer competent you will have little to no problem getting it setup to run a wireless connection. once the setup is done it is very easy to get connected to the internet . I would highly recommend this product to everyone who is looking to buy a wireless router and I would purchase this product again. If tech support is needed with the setup the tech support staff is very pleasant to very helpful with the setup and will help untill the setup is complete.

b0xb33z says "USB compatable so you can share it between PC" about Linksys Wireless N Gigabit Router

b0xb33z — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:26:44 GMT

The portable DVD player that we keep in Belle's room is broken. The DVD player that went with her TV is broken and so Belle can just watch TV in her room now. The portable DVD player was a free thing from the coke bottle caps and so easy come easy go comes to mind. But that means that we either have to go down stairs or two the computer to watch a movie. Can you imagine the injustice? Well because watching a movie was not the easiest thing to do we went down stair and tried to find something else to do and Belle put a puzzle together on her own. Today was rather busy. Just in my area there were three people that were suppose to be here that was not and so if every area had 50% attendance that would explain why we were having such problems But I cannot remember it being this busy in months. So that means that I did not get to have all of the fun just watching web sites broadcast the college games because I was working so much. And I know that I am about to...

b0xb33z says "Wireles convience with hard wire speed." about Linksys Wireless-N WRT150N Router

b0xb33z — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:23:40 GMT

Then there was the injured Craig. He will not be able to work on the sort aisle with stitches in his hand and so we are going to use him a lot as a clerk. But Red told him, and Red was kind of premed student but he said that Craig was a couple of millimeters away from loosing control to his hand. And he is going to get us some of those pumpkin knives that do not cut skin because Keven, Dave, Chris and now Craig have all had cutting issues as clerks. I was responding to a leaking package today and I notices that someone put the package outside the trailer and then the trailer got pulled. So this leaking package leaked out of the building and into a water drain! And then a second trailer got pulled on top of it. And I saw that the item that was leaking was an iodine solution to rub on wounds. Since this is applied to people and then washed off in showers I knew that it could go into a drain. But it does not like to just throw things in a drain and so we got to wake...

ScottClementson says "Too much time spent on phone with the company for wrt54g" about Linksys WRT54G

ScottClementson — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:10:13 GMT

I have spent countless hours on the phone resetting both my laptop and PC. I could have paid for them to do it in less time but I felt that if they are going to waste my time, then they are going to have to pay an employee for his or her time. Customer service is the name of the game and I should not have to spend hours on the phone or pay money for them to do it quickly. If they want me to endorse their product, they should be happy to do it for free and get me off of the phone and save phone expenses as well. I would have a hard time recommending this product to a friend. Try another and hopefully the custome service will be better.

By the way, is there any reason why you have to have the model number and serial number so small I need to have a magnifying glass to read it. That is annoying and starts off a marathon call on the wrong foot. There is no need to for this process to so difficult.

leela3574 says "This is the best wireless router for multile computers!" about D-Link gamer lounge

leela3574 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:04:23 GMT

My boyfriend plays world of Warcraft and we have three other comouters in the house that run off of one router. We all got tired of getting booted off line because his game was taking up all the broadband. We were looking online at NewEgg and came across a new router from D-link called the "Gamer Lounge." It was kind of pricey, but we are always on line on all computers. We ordered it and let me tell you it is the best thing we have bought by far. We can run all four computers in the house, him on the game and us downloading music, playing games and all kinds of things that would normally have caused a crash of the router. I just wanted to say, if you are considering it, but arent sure because of the price, we paid around $160.00, it is worth it!

gregvk says "It was easy to set up and operate." about Belkin N Wireless Router F5D8236-4

gregvk — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:35:48 GMT

This router was suggested by the store where we had purchased a HP laptop for our daughter's college use and we could not be happier with it. The installation was very easy and straightforward. The minor issue we had was that the instructions did not say to connect the laptop to the system to verify it but, the 800 number connected us to a tech that was very helpful and pleasant.

I recommend this brand to anyone needing this style router for wireless internet in thier home. It has an encrypted securty setting and functions wery well with an excellent range.

daver0101 says "Good router for the price" about NetGear rangemax wireless router WPN824

daver0101 — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:55:02 GMT

I was looking for a router that would work with Xbox 360 Live and found this one. I wanted one that I didn't have to make any changes on it to open ports for the Xbox to work correctly and this one worked great. The installation was very easy. I do know about computers but the install disc just walks you right through it all that you don't have to know anything about computers to get it working. Now for the ones that are having trouble with there Xbox Live in connectng or being able to host games and you have DSL through Embarq, you might want to check the modem because it might also be a router. This will cause it to block the ports that the Xbox needs to work correctly. A quick way to check is connect the Xbox straight to the modem and if you get a strict connection than you have a modem/router and you need to call Embarq to get that fixed. It's easy to do but I would suggest you call. Once that is done this router will be great and your gaming experience will be awesome along with other...

Punkrock666 says "Fast speeds, relatively inexpensive, durable. Good choice." about NetGear WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router

Punkrock666 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:51:58 GMT

I have to say when I first checked out this router before I bought it I was amused that the only 'con' that kept coming up were the flashing blue LEDs. Basically, the thing is all white with a clear dome on top in the center, and if you push a button in the back, the LEDs light up and flash and make it look like some kind of UFO. Honestly, I think the lights are cool, my boyfriend hates them, but IT DOESN'T MATTER - YOU CAN TURN THEM OFF!! I guess the complainers haven't found that big button in the back yet.

Anyway, serious review - excellent, worth buying. Netgear's N-router is quite fast for it's relatively inexpensive price tag (ranges from $40 - $70). It starts up immediately, has good range compared to the G Routers and stays on as long as you want. (I had a TrendNet N-router that would shut off randomly or if it got too warm). It has a 4 port Ethernet switch and although mine doesn't have WPA2 security, the newer ones do, and plus it's not like WPA2 wasn't hacked...

rebekahrocks says "Excellent quality for such a low price and easy install." about NetGear WGR614v9 G wireless router

rebekahrocks — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:38:44 GMT

When I purchased this router I was on a time and budget restraint, therefore I was not particularly concerned with the speed, range or overall quality. I figured it would be a quick fix until I could take the time to set up a faster network at home. In the meantime, this woud keep the kids happy.

After having Linksys products and Cisco Systems drilled into my head by previous employers, I assumed that they were the highest quality brand. I also assumed that, due to previous stories from friends who had installed Linksys, that the setup would be time consuming and confusing. Finally, knowing how cheap the cable company we use can be, seeing them issuing this brand as thier standard router and insisting on installing it for the customer, I was definitely pesimistic.

To my complete and utter shock, this router has been a magnificent buy. The installation was completely numbered/colour coded. Setting this router up on a secure, password-protected network was a breeze. I would ...

GottioYano says "good but not best" about Sierra Wireless AirCard 595 - Verizon Livery

GottioYano — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:20:18 GMT

I received the new Sierra Wireless 595U USB modem which I happened to win when I attended the last meeting of the Wireless and Broadband Forum. In my previous life (working at Telecom) I was always involved in the testing process so I had access to the cool toys before they were released. This is the first time that I actually get to review an EVDO product outside of Telecom as someone who is more independent. I have a long history with Sierra Wireless gear and I have always respected their engineering and product design. So, thanks to the WBF and Telecom for giving me a new toy.

I have decided to write the review in two parts. This, the first part, is about the USB modem hardware. Tomorrow (for reasons that will become apparent) I plan to butcher the USB modem and extract the component I am more interested in. Butchering the modem will render it inoperable as a USB device.

The Sierra Wireless 595U is the long awaited EVDO Revision A modem from Telecom. Vodafone have had their Vodem in the...

RTremor says "great value" about NetGear WNR3500

RTremor — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:43:09 GMT

This is a cool addition to my 1000/100/10 network adapter. It is fast to connect wireless devices. It has a nice set of security. I like netger's reputation as a good company. This has dual band connection too. I would recommend this to anyone. I like the fast connect button that you don't need the password just push a button on the router to automatically connect devices wirelessly to the network. And you just log-in to the internet to change the settings of the router. Also upgrading is easy, just go online and it automatically detects and offers you an option to upgrade the driver. I like the lights too, but sometimes it gets annoying to other people so I sometimes turn them off. It would be great if it were a rainbow colored led lights so that it would be so cool at night, it would be flashing on the wall and ceiling. If I were to buy another router, I would buy another NetGear, same model or a better and faster one if they have any. What is great about this router is the speed and...

br5641 says "the wgr614v9 seems to get the job done most of the time" about NetGear WGR614v9 G wireless router

br5641 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:22:05 GMT

we have had our net gear wgr614v9 for 3 months now seems to do the job well.

Have had to re boot it a few times tho when the power goes out.

sometimes it seems hard to get going sometimes but other wise does a good job.

it is the first router we have had

works well with just 2 computerrs but gets bogged done with 3 or if an incoming call on the phone comes in.

all the flashing lights late nite is a bother at times we have to keep it connected so we dont have to reboot every day' would love to be able to turn if off at nite to save energy but the reboot up time and hassle has us keeping it on at nite'

would I get another one I would have to research a router more we had to go to dsl so my kids could do homework and the need for wireless increased at that time.

My wife bought it with out much research so I dont know if we got the best out there maybe the cheapest maybe not.

but like i say it seems to work good most of the time.

Guntown says "LINKSYS WFT54GS easy to install & use; phone support good." about Linksys wft54gs

Guntown — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:57:19 GMT

I purchased my LINKSYS router in March. 2009. It was relatively easy to install. I had two wireless laptops that I wanted to network. When I ran into a small glitch, I simply phoned the technical support 800 number and someone patiently walked me through the troubleshooting.

Using the LINKSYS router, also caused me to lose some of my fears in insecurities about computer technology.

I would, without hesitation, recommend LINKSUS to any of my friends and family.

The price was also very reasonable. I purchased my LINKSYS router at my local Wal Mart Super Center. It stood out to me, a novice, from my other router choices.

I am also impressed with the size and weight of my LINKSYS router. It takes up a very small amount of space and I don't work about it weighing down my computer desk.

I have recently changed internet providers and will need a little help. I will not hesitate to call their support line.

lynnc35 says "I would look at all options-and ask sales clerks for help" about Linksys Cisco Router

I recently purchased this router, because I purchased a 64 bit computer, and my other router would not withstand it. I got this home and connected it okay, no problems, it connected me xbox360 my wii, but it did not connect my laptop computer, I called the 1-800 number on the enclosed directions, who tried to help me, then they offered to help me for 9.95 even though it was there product and it already cost 100.00, I had spent, I did not want to pay they money, but then they told me they would get my laptop up and running or the 9.95 would be refunded back into my account. Well I really wanted my laptop running so I agreed to do this, if they couldn't they agreed to refund, it, well they could not figure out the problem, so they agreed to refund my money, they said they would send me a confimation email, I asked them what my email was, the first time, they had it wrong and gave them it again, this time he repeated it correctly. well they did not send me and email and they did not refund......

bugbite says "Fits my internet need at home and away from home" about NetGear Netgear Wireless Router WPN824

bugbite — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:13:30 GMT

Having wireless capabilities has been a big boost to our internet usage. The NetGear Wireless Router allows my husband and I to use our own computers at the same time with no complex set up. This router has a wide range and I can take my laptop anywhere in the house to e-mail, surf, play games, and complete personal household business.Internet phone calls, multimedia/video streaming and multiplayer gaming are supported by this router and that makes these activities simpler and more enjoyable.

On vacation we used a wireless connection at the property we rented and found it weak. This weakness caused us to question the security. Netgear RangeMax is designed for large homes and has a double firewall application for protection. It also supports Windows Vista. I know that Windows 7 is out but many of us do not have the newest version, I have Windows Vista on my laptop and our PC is XP. In the five months we have been using wireless, we have had no trouble at all using our...

veniceangel says "Reliable router for a great price!" about D-Link DL-524

veniceangel — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:41:46 GMT

We bought our D-link wireless router at Best Buy 4 years ago. We have never had a problem with this router and we have always had great internet service for both our desktop and laptop computers. We take our laptop all over the house. In fact, we even take our laptop outside on our deck and we get perfect service. This router is about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide with 1 inch in height. The router is silver and grey so it is small and subtle. The router is also easy to install and use. In other words you do not need to be a computer whiz to have this product. We also bought this router during a rebate deal, so we only paid $20 for it. This is a very reliable router for that price! We are very happy with this router and we have recommended it to many friends and family. If you have never purchased a wireless router before, I highly recommend it. Running cords along the walls or through hallways is not worth your trouble when you can have reliable internet on your...

Williamyugioh says "DID PLAYSTATION 3 DESKTOP XBOX 360" about Linksys Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router

Williamyugioh — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:05:59 GMT

I noticed a lot of so so reviews and was wary until I read a professional review praising it's easy set up. I decided to go for it and boy am I glad I did. I happen to be a novice setting up PC related stuff but this router was cake to set up. Be forwarned; however, my intention was to simply set up wireless with encryption and nothing else. I had no desire to set up a full blown network with file and printer sharing. I simply wanted encrypted wireless for my xp windows pc and vista windows laptop in the house. I figure I can print stuff by using the pc with the printer or using a flash drive so I had no desire in oversteaping my technical boundries.

That being said... it was as simple as putting the disk in, following directions printing the encryption code and connecting the router. Easy as cake! I had more trouble configuring the recieving vista windows laptop and xp windows pc! Which wasn't that hard either. The router is connected to my windows vista desktop and my windows vista laptop...
