Advantages: best way to get a wired ethernet port at the other end of a wireless connection
Disadvantages: none

...11 Wireless Ethernet Bridge, which is similar, but the Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP is better in every way. It is much easier to set up (via a simple web interface, and access to the 1.1.1.1 configuration port), it has great range, it has 4 ports instead of 1, and it has been totally trouble-free. With the Linksys WET11, the only way I can get back to the configuration screen after setting it up is to reset the device and start from scratch. With the Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP, its default configuration/status address is 1.1.1.1 after a reset, but you can change it to something in your local subnet, so you can still get to the configuration/status page after it is set up. Nice! Buffalo also has some similar products with just one ethernet port, instead of four. Those are the products with "TX1" in the model number, instead of "TX4."... Read review

Advantages: Price, Fairly Small, Easy Setup
Disadvantages: Not very stylish

...I bought this router as a replacement for a Belkin router which had expired. I was looking for a fairly cheap reliable router for connecting my laptop to my home ntl cable connection. So far I have not been dissapointed. You really can't complain for the price. It does the same job as more expensive models, is a breeze to set up and has both WEP and WPA security. I have also found the connection to be more reliable than my old Belkin router. (Particularly noticable when playing online poker where my old router would keep disconnecting). One thing to note is that this unit is only a router and does not include any kind of modem. You will need a seperate modem with an ethernet connection. (e.g. NTL 100 cable modem). If you have an ADSL connection then you would probably be better going for a router with a built in ADSL modem... Read review

Advantages: Low price, reliable, not bad looking, easy to configure once you know how
Disadvantages: Poor instructions in the box, Windows focussed

...I bought a Buffalo WHR-G54S about 4 months ago to allow me to use my laptop anywhere in the house and connect to our cable modem. To start with, this product cannot be beaten on price.. I got it for £25 quid from an online retailer (can't remember which) which is half the price of some of the other brands on offer. Technically it contains 802.11a/b/g for the wireless connectivity, 4 ethernet ports on the back, one ethernet port to connect to the modem and probably loads of other features I'll never use as I have a Mac It does contain something Buffalo call AOSS which I think is a one button set up for people with Windows, but as we have MacOS I didn't even bother trying. The manual is a little slim on information and I did need to turn to the internet to get some help on how to access the configuration page but once in, it took about... Read review

Advantages: Amplified signal
Disadvantages: Will most likely need an external antenna

...This card is now a fair amount cheaper than it used to be, so I decided to splash out and see if it worked for me. I bought it for only slightly more dosh than a normal card, and it was delivered the very next day, courtesy of NickKnows.com The reason for wanting to get this card was that I was trying to get a reliable connection to a weak signal at work, where the only alternative was a dial up connection. I had been using a Belkin USB adapter, stuck to the office window with brown tape and several USB extension cables between it and my laptop. Even then my connection seemed to depend a huge amount on the weather between me and the access point I was connecting to. The card was easy to set up. Pop in the CD, install the drivers, then slide in the card when told to. The Buffalo software is quite good in that it lets you install just... Read review

Advantages: Wide range of connection,Supurb Firewall In Built, Easy to use, Small and Stylish
Disadvantages: only up to XP capatible, Vista driver soon hopefully

...I recently bought one of these routers after my dlink blew up, I was told by a friend that buffalo made excellent wireless routers and he wasn't wrong, this router works brillantly. This router has wireless access, including 4 ports intergrated for any ethernet cable needs, its small and easy to place anywhere without it looking out of place, It has a 54mbps data transfer rate which is rather good for todays router standards, a 2.4ghz frequency band, which means it can be recieved over a good distance, but the distance can be changed using the easy browser setup. It has many data link protocols incluing Ethernet, Fast Ethernet. IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g. It also has many features to this device as, Firewall protection (never had a virus since using it), auto sensing per device, DCHP support, auto uplink, IGMP snooping, Stateful... Read review

Advantages: easy setup, speedy and secure
Disadvantages: Lack Of modem

...into the WAN port of the router and instantly I was shielded from the outside world by a simple hardware firewall and private IP addresses inaccessible to everyone but those on my network. Honestly, there was little else to it, and all client cards (Buffalo ones) detected it almost instantly on activation. Security: However, just as easily as I could find my network, so could others. So, with the help of my friend and using his WLAN security guide (www.cahtech.co.uk/HOWTOs/wlan.php) we made it impenetrable to others. Using the administration page we changed the default password for the admin account, enable network card filtering by only allowing preset known adapters to ‘associate’ (connect) with the router. Next came encryption. With most products you have to choose WEP, but that is not really very secure and can be broken with some effort... Read review

Advantages: Fast setup, works with vista, easy connection
Disadvantages: none

...This is probably one of the best, and most simple to use wireless adapters there is. It connects to your computer via a USB 2.0 port or the USB 1.1, and the driver CD loads up straight away. It is simple to set up, and you can choose whether to use Windows own connection manager, or Buffalo's Client Manager V. You can connect to a wireless network almost straight away, even the ones protected with passwords. It is 54Mbps, thats 5 times faster than the standard 802.11b wireless. It also supports AOSS, and the one touch secure setup button. The password protected wireless networks that this adapter supports, are WPA and 128/64-Bit WEP. I am currently using the WEP and unlike some wireless adapters, you can save the passcode for the networks, so you don't have to enter it evrytime you want to connect. Includes full support for Windows... Read review

Advantages: When it works it works
Disadvantages: Unreliable, slow, low range, ugly as a killer whale's backside

...One day, the father of networks wanted his progeny to evolve their wireless routers and hubs further. He gathered his four apprentices and told them to do so with strict instructions. The first was Belkin. Belkin learnt from his old ways and became faster and more reliable than ever before. The second was Netgear. It decided to take the reliable route as reliability was a better cause, and speed should take secondary priority, although is is rather fast. The third was Buffalo. Contrary to Netgear, Buffalo took the speed path and have reliable as a secondary priority, although it is very reliable. The last was Linksys. Seeing that his classmates have all taken the routes that he might have undergone, Linksys goes 'I know! I wont change at all! I will just add the word Wireless-G 54Mbps on my chest and paint it green!' And so the rest... Read review

Advantages: Both great films that do relate to each other
Disadvantages: Some might not like the comparison of Depp and Murray

...I bought this the other week to go with the rest of my Fear and Loathing Merchandise and to be honest both films are as good as each other. Its without a doubt one of Bill Murray's best performances in Where the Buffalo Roam, telling the story of Hunter S Thompson incorporating some great Thompson moments however it is at a disadvantage of having the comparison alongside it with Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing as Raoul Duke/Thompson. I mean Johnny Depp really does play the part extremely well but you've got to remember that Where the Buffalo Roam was released 18 years earlier and so Bill Murray plays Thompson well before the Depp days of Terry Gilliam directed Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. To be honest its one of the best mixed box sets I've ever bought and I admittedly enjoyed both films as much as each other, Peter Boyle plays... Read review
