Big Bang in a Small Box by .. (Baltimore Maryland)
So you're worried about someone hacking into your home or small office PC, right? You've been told by a friend who's into computers or maybe the super-busy computer guy at work that you ought to get a firewall to protect your system. Woah, sounds complex, over your head, right? Not so, this 4 port broadband router made by Network Everywhere (it's all Linksys underneath) is simple enough to set up that a 10 year old could get it working in just a few minutes. It's small, unobtrusive form doesn't do justice to what's inside. It's got all of the features of units costing thre times as much and even more than some of them have. Start with the setup wizard and make a few guided choices based on how you are connecting to the internet. The next thing you know, you're surfing just like you've always done, but now you're behind a pitbull tough firewall that will keep the hackers on their side of the line. I almost forgot to mention, this unit will even let you share your now protected internet connection with other computers in your household. It's got a total of four network ports to hook other computers or network equipment to. It comes with all of the cables and instructions needed to be up and running in no time. Can you tell I'm excited about this product? I'm actually the "busy computer guy" that manages a big computer network for a living. I'll be reccomending these to the people that stop me in the hall and ask what they shoud do for their home broadband connections. Quick, powerful and inexpensive, what more could you want?
Big Bang for Little Buck by .. ()
I've geen waiting to get a router as a firewall in my home until they were dirt cheap, but good. Here it is...and it works great too. Any idiot could install this thing in minutes, although this idiot made a mistake I want to pass on: If you're using a software firewall like ZoneAlarm, make sure you disable it before installing this router. Although this tripped me up for only 5 minutes, I can see where this would cause a serious headache for a novice (then again, a novice probably doesn't have a software firewall). Other than my initial stupidity, setup is extremely easy and the thing works as advertised. Cheap firewall, and now my laptop can share my home broadband connection when I bring it home from work.
The only negative I can think of is that the thing runs hot. I'm sure this is normal and not a problem. Just make sure you don't stack anything on top of it.
Great Bang For Its Little Buck by .. dominodancing (Canada)
This is a terrific broadband router that delivers what it promises: a fast solution to share an internet connection, printer, etc. in one's home. I bought it because it was the least expensive device of its kind that supported the cumbersome PPPoE platform. A mere twenty minutes after having received the router in the mail, I was happily surfing the internet in the comfort of my own room. The setup is that easy. All one has to do is follow the enclosed installation CD to the letter (with special attention paid to the instruction booklet that's also included in the package) and you'll be up and running in no time too. The router itself is rather small and heats up fairly quickly -- a minor inconvenience I should think. Needed in addition to the router is one RJ-45 cable to connect the router to one's modem. The cable one used to use to connect one's host computer to the modem can now act as a link to the router's first port. This is the path I chose and as such it required that I purchase only one more RJ-45 cable to connect my second computer to the router. Conclusion: great, inexpensive product from a reputable company. Highly recommended.
Great Little Router by .. E. Callaway (Grand Rapids, MI USA)
I am a home networking contractor. So, I have seen a lot of routers in my work. This little one is pretty impressive. It is of an old school style, it has a durable metal case. It is relatively easy to set up and has some impresseve features for the price. The DHCP ability is easy to use for Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP. Access to the controls are easy and done through the Internet Explorer by typing a default IP address. I set this perticular model up on a DSL connection. The POPoE was easy to access in the setup and it was rather simple to make it talk to the DSL modem. The firewall is simple and effective, and there are even options to limit it as well. Print sharing, drive mapping, file sharing, and network gaming are all possible with this router. I now recommend this to any client that is looking for a low-cost, easy alternative to the more expensive Linksys hardware. If you know what your doing, or even if you don't, there should be little problem getting this little box to do what you want it to.
