Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WRT350N Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link
Digital camera Review: Given up on Linksys
Summary: 1 Stars
This product has finally made me give up entirely on Linksys. After buying nothing but Linksys for my home network and recommending them to countless people, it is time to move on to something else. These people are terrible. The only thing worse than the awful hardware, is the awful support. By the way, if you open it and it doesn't work, they'll make you pay to ship it back to them. That's after weeks of discussions even after it is clear the box isn't working. They finally did send me a new one, to replace the router that failed after three weeks, that was a replacement for the earlier model that only worked 6 - 9 months. The new one didn't even work out of the box, so I am looking for something other than Linksys. By the way, I have a Masters degree in Information Systems, It's not too complicated, it's just poorly made, and poorly supported. and I don't work for a competitor, just an unsatisfied customer.Digital camera Review: Good if you don't want to do any port forwarding or advanced functions
Summary: 3 Stars
This router works good if all you want is an Internet connection for casual surfing. Shortly after I open a port for forwarding traffic, the router locks up and I have to reset it. This is a low end router. The price for this average router should be from $50 to $70.Digital camera Review: Good router....
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the 350N to replace a defective Pre-N wireless router from another vendor. The storage link option caught my attention as I thought it'd allow me to share mp3 files to other computers on the net without having to keep my main system on all the time.
Setting up the unit was easy. I was able to configure the following items with ease: dynamic DNS service, remote access, shared storage, opening ports for remote desktop and slingbox, reserve some DHCP addresses and wireless security in a few minutes.
I haven't been able to test the gigabit performance as I need to upgrade my network card, but I'm sure that'll work fine. Hooking up a 250GB USB 2 driver to the router was easy and sharing that to all the systems on the net works great. The 1.0 firmware had a bug that ocassionally dropped my shared storage, but the latest firmware seems to have fixed it.
The only reason why I gave this 4 stars rather than 5 stars is that the range of the wireless signal seems smaller than my previous pre-n router from the other vendor. At the same location of system and router, my signal appears to be about 30% weaker than with the previous router. This limits my mobility with the laptop for now, pending moving around the router to other locations.
But a good wireless router with good features and easy to use and setup.
Digital camera Review: Great Hardware Very Very Poor Firmware
Summary: 3 Stars
This Box Is Great Piece of Hardware but the LinkSYS standerd firmware sucks, it needs a reboot daily because it hangs and the performance of the USB is very very slow
I had to change the firmware to the dd-wrt firmware and now we can play.
It is very good box if you are a computer geek because you will learn how to handle and fix it.
If you are a regular user do not try to buy it or you will get very disappointed.
Digital camera Review: Great bgn router
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this rouer used and as oposite of what many people says about this router, it is great stuff, i give it four stars on set up as i was new to N routers and as an N newbie had to learn but once done it is quite easy. The stock firmware is very bad, and fortunately as it carries Linux software i flashed it with DD-WRT firmware and never had a reliability issue. I use my laptop in N, the children's desktop in G and wife's in B so everybody has it own signal. DD-WRT firm has the option of raising the TX or lowering it not to be seen far away by neighbors, i use with 31 mw and lowered frequency to 252 Mhz also, so router lasts more because it works a little bit warm, and the performance is bassicaly the same.
