    Pros: Easy set up

    Cons: Package doesn't tell all!

    Summary: The device was easy to set up but was not clear about needing to apply software to change passwords. Novice user may not know to do this.

    The worst was that the package says it will work with any company's router and this is true. However, when I tried to set up WEP security on the wireless remote devise I could not do so unless my computer has an ip address consistent with ip addresses you would get when using a netgear router.

    I have a linksys router so can use the devise just fine if I want my whole neighborhood to be able to tap in.

    I can only think that Netgear believes you will go and buy their router to solve this. I will take this devise back and find a linksys model instead.

    Now it has become a $150 pain in the neck of wasted time and making a return.

    I appreciate your caveat. There's always lots of kudos until one hits a snag.<br><br>If I have DLINK equipment, will I have the same issue.<br><br>The concept for the product is great. $150 saves lots of time. But I can't avoid to keep buying equipment. (I haven't yet recouped my cost of my INTERNET journey. Please straighten me out if you can. Is it just me or has someone got some priority mixed up. Why would companies think consumers would pay $50 for high speed INTERNET access just to spend another $200 easily? I thought INTERNET is the next wave to make a buck. I am spending a whole lot without seeing any returns. <img border="0" src="http://www.cnet.com/i/mb/emoticons/wink.gif" alt=";)">
