Most Critical Review

Wireless malfunctions

On Networks N300 Wireless Router N300R
On Networks N300 Wireless Router N300R

Pros: - Very cheap router - Ethernet works just as advertised - Setup is clean and easy - Router management interface is efficiently laid out and management is easy

Cons: I would absolutely love to give this router 5 stars but I cannot due to one critical problem it seems to have: the wireless functionality stops working after roughly half an hour to an hour of operation. It's inexplicable. I have tried configuring the router with various settings from channels, to transmission speed, to wave length, and none of them work. If the wireless worked just fine on this router I would absolutely give it 5 stars for everything it does so well, but unfortunately this is a problem that totally defeats the intended purpose of the device, so I give it a 1 star rating.

Pros: It's a typical keyboard and it has volume controls and several configurable keys

Cons: The backspace, enter key, and back lash and completely non-typical and not as shown in the display pictures.

Frequent stutters

Pros: Mouse is light weight and keyboard layout is simple and has some useful options (i.e. volume meter). Quite long wireless range (reached all the way across my home). Good response time when it does decide to work (see below).

Cons: Frequently stutters on both mouse and keyboard. Have tried this on several systems with little or no radio interference regardless of distance from receiver. One can imagine just how frustrating this is if I were to play a game. The occasional stuttering makes this otherwise good mouse and keyboard combo unusable.

Overall Review: Don't buy this. It's certainly a DESIGN FLAW because I've owned two. At first I thought maybe I just received a damaged product and so purchase another one, only to have the same thing happen. I don't know what sort of "rigorous testing" Logitech claims they have done on this keyboard/mouse combo, but it certainly must've been pretty lax on standards.
