Title: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Date: August 19, 2009
Product Uses: home network
Review:I bought this router because I didn't want to mess with wireless at this point.
The setup instructions were well laid out, and easy to understand. However, there was just one caveat with the installation. The instructions specifically warned me to NOT hook up the router until the installation program told me to; however, the software wouldn't install until I plugged the router in.
So, throwing caution to the wind, I rebelliously plugged my router into the modem and ran the install program, and thankfully nothing exploded or caught on fire.
That last sentence, roughly translated, means the setup software finally installed properly only AFTER I plugged my router in first, and then ran the setup. I don't know if this is the rule or the exception, but it's what I had to do in my case.
If you need a router and don't want to mess with wireless, while having a great hardware firewall to boot, then buy this router. You'll thank me later.

Title: NOT LAPTOP FRIENDLY!
Date: June 23, 2007
ProsYou can only install this on a DESKTOP first, then connect to your LAPTOP. ConsYou can't install this on LAPTOPS ALONE.
Review:I would recommend ACTIONTECH, which is a DSL MODEM, & ROUTER COMBO.
