It could not have been easier to setup and it works great. I have no idea what a more expensive one could do that this one cannot.

I bought this device on the back of its reputation for reliability and flexibility and value for money. I'm completely satisfied.

Installed the Tomato firmware on Day One and haven't looked back. Very solid product.

D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Networking and Online Communication
from: D-Link


Very easy installation and configuration.
I'm not a network expert but I was able to set both the wire and wireless connections quite easily with the wizards and documentation and even turn wireless security on in no-time.

Connecting to the wireless network with my laptop proved quite painless and simple - even after trying for the first time connecting to a WPA2 secured wireless network with a WiFi enabled smartphone!

The signal is very strong and I'm able to easily connect from every spot in my house and yard though the router resides at a back room.

I've been running this router for a few months now where a bunch of house guests have connected to it (if I were more paranoid I would be quite alarmed ... Read More:

Motorola Surfboard SB5101 Cable Modem

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Networking and Online Communication
from: Motorola


Item is not plug and play. If this a replacement for another modem you need to contact your cable company to synch the device. It also required resetting the wirless router which required calling the wireless router provider and if you are using VOIP it requires resetting the phone adapter to synch with the modem and router. Needless to say it was not a painless experience. Outside of that the modem works great.

Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Networking and Online Communication
from: Linksys


I bought this one to set up all my home networks. I have 3 PCs and 4 notebooks. I wanted to use 1 PC as a file server and connect all the other computers to it. So I need a faster wireless router. I installed the router and it worked so so to connect to the internet. But when I tried to connect my own PCs it's way TOOOOOO slow I can't even use it. My file server located at a room where I can't connect through wire so I bought linksys N wireless network card hoping that it'll work well because they all are from same company. I tried all the PCs to connect to the file server but all of them are too slow to share anything. I have to change the router again.

Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Networking and Online Communication
from: Linksys


I owned this unit for slightly under a year (October 2007 - July 2008) and it worked pretty well as far as range and strength of the signal are concerned.

Wireless died July 2008 and after several calls to different numbers, Cisco customer service asked that I pay an additional $30 for a software upgrade on an item that was supposed to be under warranty.

Buyer beware!! This is my only experience with CISCO and my last (if I can help it).

Apple Airport Express

from: Apple Computer


I could probably go on for a long time about the Airport Express. As I've been going on with Apple Support. I use the AX to stream iTunes wirelessly to powered speakers. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Originally I thought it was either signal strength or interference causing the problem. But it's not necessarily so. One day perhaps with updates everything will be as it should, as it is with the wireless connection for my laptop, which works first time every time, never intermittent.

Cables To Go 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub

Childrens Toy Shop > PC Hardware > Networking and Online Communication
from: CABLES TO GO


Awesome little USB hub. Feels heavy enough when you pick it up, but it does move around some if the cables tug on it. It does come with some kind of mounting base, but I don't use it. It needs to be plugged in, which is a pain since I have like 4 power strips that are full of wide transformers. The blue light is very bright and does not go out when the computer is powered off. It's so bright I have to put a book on top of it so it doesn't keep me up at night. Never had a problem with the hub. Never had to jiggle the wires to get a connection. Would definitely buy another if I needed one.
