Sometimes it works, some times it doesn't........2007-03-24

When the router is working, it works beautifully. It seems that the router will eventually just stop allowing connections (possibly due to overheating). The fix is to just turn it off and back on. The wireless card bundled with the router also seems to be a little finicky. You would think that the card would work perfectly with the router, but it does not. The software that comes with the wireless card isn't great, but it can do the job. All in all, you get what you pay for.

Contrary to popular belief, I even had a good experience the one time I needed technical support. A few random disconnects, but overall a great product.

I've always had issues with this product since I bought it on Amazon. I've updated the firmwares for both the router and the card but the problems persist.

The problems are inconsistent internet connection. Its easy to isolate since I can connect my workstation directly to the router/modem. And when I do, my connection is normal

I've since travelled a lot and didn't have time to give this back ...

Be warned.

THIS ROUTER WORKS GREAT NO MATTER WEATHER HARD WIRED OR WIRELESS. I CAN GO ANYWHERE IN MY HOUSE UPSTAIRS OR DOWNSTAIRS AND ONLY LOSE ONE BAR ON THE STRENGTH. I AM ALWAYS CONNECTED STRONG AND NO UNTIMELY WAITING FOR LOADUPS.
