this product was the perfect gift for my husband to use with his lap top.
The software indicated that it was connected to the router but it said I had no Internet connection. I bought the Linksys WKPC54G Wireless-G Network Kit for Notebooks on Amazon for a great price ($36.25). I've had a Linksys BEFSR41 4 port wired router for the last 7 years and it has been as solid as a rock. I've used it 3 days, only time will tell.
Range is pretty good and all my kids wireless game devices have no problem connecting. Buy it if the price is right. All in all, this combo works great. Hardwire connections never had a problem.
Internet and local network worked fine. One thing I did notice was that anytime I made a change to my wireless settings on the router or laptop (especially wireless security), I had to cycle power on the router. I must say I was very apprehensive because of all the negative reviews. To make a long story short, I powered the router off/on and everything (including my Internet connection) worked fine.
Next, I installed the CD software for the wireless card on a 4 year old DELL laptop (Windows XP) and everything went okay. Anyway, I replaced the BEFSR41 with the WRK54G, hooked up all the wired connections (3 total, including a print server) and everything worked. Turnkey installation.
Good enough to download and can use it at opposite side of the house at 45% conectivity at fifty feet away. Behind the curve but didn't have to finance it. Got them off my computer and didn't have to run wires all around the house. Cheep fits my budget.
Product was delivered as expected in excellent condition. Excellent product, installed without problems, operates as expected.
and u're online in 5 seconds. amazing speed, very simple, quick n efficient. go against what it says. then later on u can try goin thru the manual. i approve. do NOT run any CD, etc. simply plug in the internet wire into the butt hole of this router.
