KCORP Silver Series Generation II KLS-6615 - wireless router

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use and value for money
Disadvantages: Weak aerials

...I bought this PCI wireless card when I was first introduced into the craze of wireless networking. Its pretty basic, and slots straight into a standard PCI slot. The driver CD is simple to use as well, also giving drivers for the other wireless equipment in the KCORP range. It installed straight away, with no problems. The software is easy to use, and very simple to understand, and will have you connected to a wireless network in seconds. It works fine with Windows XP, but does not support Windows Vista. It usually heats up to around 40°C, and connects to encrypted networks such as 128-bit and 64-Bit Wep, and WPA-PSK. If you are looking for a long range wireless adapter, i would certainly not reccomend this 1 to you, as it doesn't work well in a big house, but if you are looking for a cheap, value for money card, this is the right one...

Of course, as soon as I had changed the key on the router, my internet connection was disabled as the key on the router no longer matched the unsecure settings on my device. Luckily I was able to enter the passkey into the software on my device and get my connection back. I chose the WEP encryption as at the time I had an old Windows 98 PC on my network that didnt support the newer WPA style. Again, I created the WEP code via the in build web browser. The Belkin router asked me for a phrase which it then converted to a series... Read review

...and then it tests the internet connection for you. You are then ready to go. DESCRIPTION OF THE ROUTER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The router itself is white and silver. It has four Ethernet ports on the back so that you can connect more than one PC up to it. It runs at 108mbps. I find that sometimes, when I have been using it all day, that things start to slow down and sometimes it overheats. When this happens, there is a little reset button on the back, I just press this and it resets itself and returns back to normal. SPEED/CONNECTION/RANGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the first time I have used a wireless router so I do not really have anything that I can compare it to but I have used the internet before using a standard modem and compared to this it is very fast. I find that the internet pages load within seconds. The range... Read review
