It’s a Beautiful Thing
New to the world of laptops, high speed and routers. Glad that it was a smooth transition into the world of wireless. Lovin’ it!
Works fine with a Dell desktop and a Macbook Air
After reading good reviews in amazon, I bought a WRT54G2 at Circuit City. Although the package doesn’t say it supports a Mac and the Circuit City man told me routers are always tricky, implying this might not work fine with a Mac, it works flawlessly with my Dell desktop running Windows Xp and Macbook Air.
The installation was easy, finished in 10 minutes. Macbook Air connected to the Internet at first attempt.
So really there was no problem at all.
Macbook Air supports 802.11n and I could have bought a diffrent router that supports it. But my internet connection is 1.5MB Verizon DSL and I thought 802.11g and 11n do not make any difference in my case.
The range is strong enough to cover my one bed room apartment.
In short, I’m very satisfied with this product.
Sharp looking and works very well..A++
Bought it from Amazon had it in four days with free shipping and took maybe 10 min to set up. Connection is very good and attennnas are hidden within the router so it looks nice. Best router for the price!
Open NAT for xbox 360!
This was very easy to set up. It took about 5 minutes total to set up the router and have a wireless connection to my desktop. I have an excellent reception to my desktop that sits about 30 feet away in another room. Also, I have my desktop and laptop (both running vista), xbox 360, and ps3 connected to it wirelessly. the xbox 360 NAT is open and the ps3 NAT is type 2. I’m not sure what that stuff means technically, but in normal person terms it means that I can connect to others with no problems. The back of the router has 4 10/100 ethernet connections on it as well if you want a wired connection.
Streaming recorded TV, music, and pictures from my desktop to xbox work well for both being connected wireless with no reduction in picture quality in the TV.
The design of this router is really excellent. The antennas are built into the router and the dimensions of it are really small and thin! This gives you more flexibility of where the router can be place.
