subpar wireless router

Reviewed By: OD on 1/13/2010

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: compact, no crazy light show, easy installation, good browser interface, could make a good bookend after waranty expires

Cons: Inconsistent wireless behavior, wireless would go down for extended periods of time and then come back (wired network through the router was not impacted by the frequent outages).

Other Thoughts: While the box says WNB2100 the router itself has WNR2000 on the back. Not sure if this identity crisis was to blame but all attempts at firmware updates failed from 2 different computers running XP and Vista. Replaced with a NetGear WNR3500 which works flawlessly supporting multiple wireless devices (firmware updates work too). I don't know if the WNR200 was defective or not up to the job (I suspect the former) but I returned it for another WNR3500.

Doesn't work well with Vista 64 bit

Reviewed By: chiefbiglou@aol.com on 12/23/2009

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: When I hooked up my laptop to this combo it worked great running XP (I had to go to the web and down load the software).

Cons: On the other hand when I tried to install the soft ware on my desktop I had issues running Vista 64 bit. I also went to the web site and down loaded, but that didn't work either. After a couple of tries I got it to work, but not without lots of coffee.

Other Thoughts: After getting this working it worked great. I also had an issue with my VOIP and had to rewire my entire net work to make everything work.

FRUSTRATION to SUCCESS

Reviewed By: JeepRob on 12/15/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: It's working now. Steady internet speed test around 17mb/second.

Cons: Could not get router/usb adapter to connect to the internet in the beginning. Signal strength varied greatly. But it almost always connected to router. just couldn't surf the web. The router was blocking the gate to the internet. Why, I don't know. It was unpredictable.

Other Thoughts: The fix for me was: I first used the install disc on my older desktop ( Window XP ). It gave me a specific SSID. After hours of frustration I decided to run my install disc from my laptop ( Window XP ) . The installation gave me a different SSID from the first. Why , I don't know. But this time all worked like a charm. : ) My internet connection is steady and reliable now. And I'm happy. I get better signal strength and a faster connection with N, than I did with G. My signal strength still varies but I don't notice it effecting my internet speed.
