 Works just as it should, most of the time. October 25, 2009
Jeffrey A. Young
The router I received works great, however there is a problem that I am not sure is related to the router itself. Although rare, I sometimes find myself disconnected from the internet. I do not think it is the router's fault for my parents have the exact same one and it works fine. I think it is do to my campus internet interacting with it. Beyond all of that, the products works great and is exactly how you described it.
 Unreliable wireless, requires reboots September 18, 2009
Ethan Tira-Thompson (Pittsburgh, PA)
I had to reboot this several times a week -- if I hit a site with good bandwidth that could saturate my downlink, it would 'permanently' disable the wireless portion so none of my laptops (apple mac, hp windows, asus linux) could communicate until I walked over to the router and power cycled it by pulling out the plug. I believe certain bit patterns could also cause the problem, as in some cases it would repeatably die in the same place during a transfer. Quite a nuisance, my wife and I were constantly accusing each other of "killing the wireless".
FWIW the wired ports seem unaffected, so when doing a high speed operation (e.g. downloading files from my lab machine at the nearby university) I would often have to switch to a wired connection in order to ensure it would complete successfully. Not something I should have to worry about.
Do yourself a favor and get a Linksys WRT54GL instead, from further experience they are rock solid and slightly cheaper to boot. (do not get the non-"L" version, lower spec'd hardware and a completely different OS, would have the same stability problems as here)
 Awful Product July 31, 2009
JSC (NY)
Had this router for about 8 months. After the 4th month it started to drop both PC and Laptop from internet connection. On average it had to be rebooted once / twice a week. I could not understand costumer service department because they barely speak English. Finally just threw it away to get rid of all the time and problems it caused. I would not suggest this product to anyone......
Repeatedly Drops Signal July 17, 2009
Altec (Washington, DC)
Setup went smoothly but this router's performance was subpar. It regularly dropped the signal, requiring me to routinely reboot my computer. My rating reflects that fact that the replacement purchased is far superior...no dropped signal, even after starting up from the sleep mode.
I read several negative reviews posted, but since there were a few positive ones, I made this risky purchase. In the end, it didn't pay off; I do NOT recommend this router, not even for less than $20. It doesn't work consistently!
Works great June 14, 2009
C. Stewart (Sacramento, CA USA)
I really like this wireless router. I just wish it had a longer range, I get a weak signal on the other side of the house....maybe 35-40 feet.
