Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WAP54G Wireless-G Access Point
Digital camera Review: Average
Summary: 3 Stars
Sometimes I am unable to get online and have been unable to determine why. Seems to interfear with cell phone use as well. Most of the time the product works.Digital camera Review: Avoid - unit failed - repair under warranty - but I must pay for shippinig!
Summary: 1 Stars
Unit worked for 6 months then developed a hardware fault which took several days to identify. The support information was incorrect which wasted a lot of time.
I am outraged that I must pay for shipping the defective unit to the Netherlands - and will pursue this as an infringement of UK statutory rights.
Poor product - poor support - poor (possibly illegal) warranty operation
I just hope I get a functioning replacement without delay
Digital camera Review: Avoid Linksys
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a lot of Linksys equipment - 4 routers, 2 WRT54G wireless routers, 2 WAP54G access points, and a couple of switches. That collection built up over time, propelled largely by the admonition in Linksys documentation that "Linksys wireless units only communicate with other *Linksys* wireless units". I don't know if that's true, and I came to Amazon today to order a Netgear access point to find out. I have *had* it with Linksys. The wireless equipment works, then it doesn't work. As another reviewer mentioned, it is necessary to reboot the units frequently to get them communicating again. And Linksys support is HORRIBLE. They do respond relatively quickly, but they do not appear to even read the problem reports, sending only canned answers. If you do manage to proceed past that support level, you learn that they know NOTHING about their own equipment. It is extremely frustrating. I know it is going to be expensive, but I am determined to wean my network from Linksys equipment, at least the wireless equipment. I have, simply, had enough!Digital camera Review: Awesome Product - PERIOD !!
Summary: 5 Stars
THis is an awesome product, handsdown !! THe set-up is easy (takes about 15 minutes total) and the functionality is impressive. I can be 330 feet away (yes, we measured it!!) at our swimming pool area, transmitting through 3 walls ane one solid 8 foot fence and still be able to use my laptop perfectly !!
Don't waste your money on the other manufacturer's inferior products, use the leader in the industry (Cisco) and be done with it. I have read the so-called "negative" comments from other users and truly feel it is just other manufacturers employees told to submit phony "bad claims" while they sit at their desks!
I might add that my neighbor works in UC Berkeley's IT hub and he also said that this Linksys product is the one that they recommend to students and faculty alike for both lab and home use applications. He said the value proposition of this product and its consistent reliability make it the clear leader for wireless access points. I'd give this 7 stars if I coul....it is an excellent product !!
Digital camera Review: Backwards compability is a joke
Summary: 2 Stars
CNet reviewed it and found that, if you had any 802.11b clients, the access point forced everybody into 802.11b mode. I'm not touching this puppy until it can have b and g running simultaneously (just like having 10Mbps and 100Mbps devices hooked up to the same Ethernet switch). It ought to be possible, after all, even if it has to run them on separate radio channels.
