To DHCP or not to DHCP

by ragman69 , Jun 12 '05
Pros: Easy to implement
Cons: Documentation could be better.
I purchased this unit recently, along with the wirless PCMCIA card (WPC11). I have to say that I am very impressed. It was very easy to install and use. Linksys have released the newer 802.11a unit, but that is still very expensive. ...

No more linksys products for me!

by gt40 , Dec 12 '03
Pros: None. The hardware isn't any better than similar items available.
Cons: Possibly the most apathetic customer support operation on the planet.
I have to say off the bat -- I'm VERY disappointed with my Linksys experiance. I tried to get this product working for three weeks. I even had the network gurus at work puzzling over it. No joy. The problem is that the AP portion of this combo ...

Linksys new and improved

by hscovern , Oct 26 '03
Pros: New model version much improves on a "good" previous version
Cons: Wireless networking is not perfect (but it beats running cable most of the time)
I used the original Linksys BEFW 11S4 router (so old it didn't even have a version number on it) on a home network with wired and wireless connections. When it worked it was very, very good (fast, reliable); but sometimes it was horrible (needed periodic ...

Pass it by. Version 4 (v4) is seriously flawed

by wseverin , Sep 26 '03
Pros: Simple to set up and administer
Cons: Poor reliability, non-functioning features, terrible support.
I had significant problems with this unit for the two weeks that I owned it. Today I took it back to the store and traded for a similar, but much better, Netgear unit. The biggest problem was that it would not hold a solid connection with the cable mo ...

by peterskm , Sep 26 '03
Pros: Easy to setup.

Junk

Pros: Excellent throughput Responsive technical support Excellent for hard-wired networks
Cons: Very unstable wireless connection Constantly needs to be reset to maintain good performance
I purchased the Linksys router on the recommendation of the CompUSA employee who said it was better than the store brand wireless router. So I took home, for $80 minus rebates, the Linksys Wireless-B broadband router. My wireless network is two 802.11b ...

Easy set-up but intermittent malfunction and lousy support

by ze_shark , Sep 06 '03
Pros: Router, WLAN and ethernet hub functions combined
Cons: Intermittent function failure
I am familiar with Linksys' products since I upgraded from a WAP11 access point, which always worked like a charm, to a router so that I could network easily all the connected PCs in my home network. Set-up was easy through the browser-based set-up util ...
