USRobotics Broadband Router 8003 - router

Advantages: Does what it says on the tin ( once set up ! )
Disadvantages: Pain in the arse to get working.

...'s together on a network is a major pain, but the benefits are great if you manage to do this. This router, I would recommend, it does it's job fine....once wired up, you can forget all about it. For future reference, if I have to break the thing down again, I marked the body of the box so I could plug the wires straight in again. I'm sure that if you bought any other router, wireless or not …. You'd be faced with the same problems I had. For me it works, can't ask any more from it than that. The data transfer rates are 10 mbps .... more than any of the best computers can achieve! ( at the moment !)... the best I can manage on a 2 meg broadband connection is a download rate of 230 kbs , fantastic when compaired to the 3- 4 kbs dial up I used to have ! so this router will not slow down anything at all. Best of luck………I recon you... Read review

Advantages: great signal, cheap, does the job, easy to use, great security, easy to set up
Disadvantages: no real user manual, some functions maybe hard to understand with previous experience.

...This is by far the best router i have owned and used ( compared to an ordinary wired router and a belkin and also a netgear wireless router). It is very easy to set up this router, infact i did nothing. plugged it in, hooked up all the connections, and it automatically recognised my settings (i have virgin media broadband). I have had this router for about roughly 6 months now and havnt really experienced any real problems. one downside to this product is when going into the homepage of the router. At times when such tings are worded its hard to understand what it means until you actually try it out, for example: \"If checked, the undefined item in MAC Address list is allowed to access Internet;Unchecked means reverse\" I actually understand what it means but i had to read it more than once. On the other hand this may... Read review

Advantages: ease of setup,reliable connection
Disadvantages: not the fastest on the market

...When looking to go wireless in the computer world it is an absolute minefield when it comes to wireless routers/modems. I sat at my latop(tethered to the telephone socket with wires) scouring google for write ups about this router and that router when i came across this one. Now this is rated as being the best selling router/modem in the UK and has been for some time. I think i paid around £40 from ebuyer.com. I chose it because of the fact its reasonably priced. Its a good trustworthy brand and it seemed to come up to scratch on speed. Upon opening the box the installation was very simple indeed. I just followed the instructions that came with the router and hey prsto i was wireless on my laptop.Software is easy to install and self explanatory. Its not the fastest band of router on the market but for what i needed it was ample... Read review
