Should have just bought a Linksys or Belkin

by warnie21 , May 13 '02
Pros: Easy to install.
Cons: Poor for gaming, poor support, no DMZ host, 1 port, unable to downgrade firmware.
The 2Wire Homeportal 100 arrived and, yes, it looked bigger and bulkier than most. I was, however, able to put that fact aside if it installed easily and did not give me as much grief as my friends Linksys did when we were trying to set his up.

Ideal choice for me ...

by whhherndon , May 21 '02
Pros: Cost, ease of use, footprint
Cons: Instructions could use some tweaking ...
After studying a variety of home-networking solutions, I finally settled on 2Wire. Generally, I was seeking the easiest setup at the lowest price – even though I am quite knowledgeable about all this stuff. I simply don’t want to spend hours upon hours...

Can It Be True?

by ravaj , Sep 11 '01
Pros: Easiest Home-Networking Imaginable!
Cons: Ummmm...ok....maybe it's a little big.
I Don't Know About This?
I discovered this little gem a little over a year ago while surfing the net. From what the website claims about this baby, you would have to believe it's a scam...I mean, could anything really be this cool? Well, I...

Like Pulling teeth

by bt3of4 , Feb 19 '02
Pros: Cost, ease of setup, ease of use, zero configuration
Cons: Mine didn't work, company wont return email or calls
I decided to get a firewall. I am a CNE and didn't think I should be without one given the amount of bandwidth I use up on a daily basis.

I looked around on the web, and in stores. I came across the 2wire Model 100 and saw it had everything...

2Wire makes a home network and DSL easy

by mjlee22 , Jan 06 '02
Pros: easily create a home network with great flexibility and support
Cons: a little bulky, and Win98 is the minimum OS
2 months ago, SBC (PacBell) made DSL available in my neighborhood. 2Wire is the only gateway supported by Pacbell. At first I set up a DSL modem for one PC, and then 2 weeks later I added in the Home Portal 100 Residential Gateway so that I could hook...

Homeportal - fancy but maybe too fancy

by tfharper , Nov 15 '02
Pros: Flexible - wireless, homepna and ethernet routing. Fast. Lots of status screens and options
Cons: Used to be good tech support, no longer. Freezes up.
I had a homeportal 100, worked like a charm for about six months. I used the wireless portion, which had weak coverage - it was in one bedroom and I was in another with a wireless laptop, maybe 35' away, two walls, I got a medium level signal and 4mb/s...

2Wire behavior: Good... then fizzle... then die

by dub273 , Apr 30 '04
Pros: Easy to install; decent firewall and USB support
Cons: Habitually short lifespan
The 2Wire HomePortal 100 is the standard issue broadband modem for SBC customers in the Little Rock area. It came installed with our service around April 2003. Around October 2003, we started noticing sporadic outages of our DSL service. (I work ...
