Customer Review: Solved my WiFi range problem!
Summary: 5 Stars
First let me preface this review by saying, i do own this product and it saved me from jumping off the WIFI bridge to something like powerline which might have been the nail in the cauffin had i bought all that stuff and discovered it only works for computers that are on the same circut of your homes circuit box.
Anyway, if you're looking for a rocket science review of this sexy little device..press fast forward.. this is dedicated to those who just want a WIFI setup that works and solves your Range issue so they can get on with life!
This past Friday I called it quits and ditched all my Linksys G routers/access points/hodge podge WRT54g-DD-wrt gateway hookup stuff and threw it all in a box and hauled it to the craigslist section of the garage. Yes, I know if i had unlimited hours and my time was worth nothing, i could pop the top of those old linksys units and tinker with open source firmware till the next presidential election - But frankly, I'd rather enjoy my life.
so on to a 'N'ew chapter of success with WIFI "N" and G is now for 'G'oodbye
First I live in a typical newer home in the burbs and this SINGLE unit effectively covers all 3000sq ft home with ease. I positioned the Linksys N dual-band gigabit unit in my garage/home office area which is located on the 1st floor at the far west side of the house. After about an hour of snafus installing the setup software on Win7/and Vista (reason for 3 stars on setup).. Voila! I got it working and it was like my house started glowing with N! First thing i did was grab my Dell inspiron 1721 laptop (with built-in G adapter) and headed to the furthest side of house which is my master bedroom that is approximately 400-500ft away and on the 2nd floor (think diagonal opposites)
The laptop instantly found my new N WIFI SSID, I saw 4 bars, input my WPA2 passphrase (no 128 hex crap - simple human word i picked)and got a whopping 48mbs solid connection (not bad for a G adapter on N network).
NOTE: as I went around the house and enabled all the other older G-based PCs, I found that on on Windows XP and even some Vista machines, the wifi adapters didn't detect the new WPA2 based N network. So i had to go in and manually setup the WIFI network using the SSID and WPA2 passphrase. You must also pick the option that says "connect to this wifi network even when it is not broadcasting". But once I did that, all machines in the house had a reliable 3-5 bars no matter where it was in the house.
Linksys has a cool new network management software package called Network Magic Pro that comes with the unit (Trial Version then u must buy) but its really slick.. you can view all computers connected to your N network and see if the connects are live or dormant plus do a bunch of other cool stuff. After all was setup and done (about 2.5hrs later) I saw all 10 devices on my N network. Mix of laptops, desktops, xbox, ps3,etc .. all visible as little icons on this cool little network map. EVEN helped my kids XBOX connections!!!
I now plan to upgrade all my G network adapters to N soon and maybe even sooner since I found [...]
This N machine solved all my headaches and brought weeks of frustration hunting for solutions to G-connectivity finally to a close! Now Im going to relax kick my feet up and enjoy the superbowl without the whole house complaining the wifi is down..the wifi is down!!
GET THIS if you have G-connectivity problems. It works perfectly with G network adapters that maybe on your older PCs laptops. I did get an additional N network adapter to connect one of my media servers and the WIFI speed showed 5bars with 230MBs!!!! - so you see when you hook two "N" devices on both sides - it goes far faster than what most home network users will ever need.
Cheers!
