Well that's it have fun of High speed. —...

I have used the Airport Extreme Router since January and it is faultless and efficient, stable and reliable on both 2.4GHz & 5GHz settings. I use PCs and Macs on my home network in a large soviet-type building with super thick concrete walls. I use an old PowerMac G4 500 server upgraded to 1.24GHz with 270GGB storage, 128GB graphics card and cable ethernet from the router. The other is a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz, 17" hi-res screen (1920 x 1200) 160GB HD and Extreme Airport card built-in. ...

It works great. I haven't had any problems and the set up was a breeze. I am a stay at home Mom that is going back to school and I have about 12 years of computer experience. That is that I have been using computers for that long, certainly not working on them. I got this item at Best Buy for $45. — The one think that I would like to point out that you may not hear from your local Best Buy employee, (however mine was nice enough to remind me of this), is that you MUST set up an encrypted password or anyone in your area has the potential to log on to your network. This was a little challenging but I eventually figured it out by going right to the netgear website. — One last note is that I was going to go with a router with the "N" on the box (it was more expensive and had some extra features) and was told that the routers with the "N" on them where for multiple users and generally for the high end laptops (meaning...

If you simply follow the instructions, use Linksys' recommendations relating to security settings, etc...you should be up and running with very little effort. — — DHCP setup is straight-forward for PCs and assigned IPs are no problem either. I have a mix of Unix and PCs running on my internal network and have not encountered any issues to date.If you have problems with signal strength, try reorienting/relocating the unit, even a little, as any wireless signal may be masked by the construction of your building. — — TIP: Make sure you block incoming ports, using the units built-in firewall capabilites, to further protect your system(s)....

It was complicated to set up, and hardly ever worked properly. — I finally became fed up and bought the Apple Airport Extreme. I am well aware of Apple's reputation for excellence, so there was really no question about what I was going to buy. And to seal the deal, it's PC compatible and so user friendly, it only took about 10 minutes to set up. The only problem I have now is with my cable/internet company! — Sure, Apple products are more expensive, but they're more reliable, durable and will last long after their PC competition becomes obsolete. It's more money up front, but less expensive in the long run....

In additon if a guest comes over, they can be on as well.  We can go wired or wireless.  I have called Linkys several times they have always been  a terrific help and patient as...

I would lose connection more than twice a day, was limited to the distance we could be from the router and had on many occasions called the local ISP to see what might be wrong. This router was located in the room where the computers were set up. Since replacing the Linksys — router and purchasing the Apple Base Station Extreme we do not lose the signal, can be over 100 ft from the router and not lose the signal. Download speeds have been fantastic ad I found it easy to set up, and encrypt. Support has been great on questions that I have had, and is one of the reasons I decided to switch to an Apple desk top computers. — — —...

After spending 2-3 hours trying to install and use I called tech support. The first thing the person asks is when did we purchase, I said today he tells me that according to the serial number this was purchased 6 weeks earlier. After spend 2-3 more hours with the help of tech support we were still unable to get it to work. I took the router back to Best Buy and the person  in custom service says I guess we need to destoy this, it has been returned 3 times now. Needless to say I will not be shopping at Best Buy again anytime...

Between the three, the Linksys was the greatest.  I popped the Linksys right out of the box and plugged it in.  And it worked.  Simplicity at it's greatest.   It's been the most reliable router I've used personally and professionally.  Of course, since this thing is a little computer, it will present some problems, however, I can count the number of times I've had a problem that I couldn't resolve in a couple of minutes.  It's a workhorse. I've got two desktops hardwired in, a VoIP phone service (VONAGE), and I have a laptop that I use wirelessly. Even living in an apartment building with 6 other families with wireless systems, I have very few problems connecting and staying connected.  — I think that this is the greatest product of it's class. —...

I have gone through two of these Motorola SB5101 SurfBoard Cable Modems durring my time with BrightHouse (Less than ONE year)! I had no problems with either modem in the begining but approximately 3-4 months after the normal day to day use, they start having connection problems. In the front there are 6 Dots that Light up. The first Four are Green and the last Two are Orange. The first Four (Power, Recieve, Send, Online) are always supposed to be lit up, indicating that you are indeed online... only one of the Last Two (*PC/Activity*, and Standby) are supposed to stay lit. I have not seen any problems with the last Two, but both modems I have had seemed to go through sperts, where they were fine for a few days... No longer than a week, then for some reason, only the first two green lights will light up and the third...

Its keep breaking on and off.. The router is placed on the second storey. I never get any connection in the first storey of my house.   The workaround is to unplug the AC Adapter and   plug it back in. That is temporary, but what that does is interrupts the rest of my PCs connection. I checked Belkin Support site and there is no firmware update to alleviate this problem. Contacting  their Tech Support is a waste of time. i Senceliy regert buying it. Linksys would ahve been a better option —...
