    "Beware - Does not work"

    by Nullifidian on October 13, 2008

    Pros: Nothing at all - how would I know if it doesn't work?

    Cons: Does not work

    Summary: Buyer beware. This equipment does not work properly. I bought a Linksys WAG160N so I could connect a new laptop by wireless. Needing a VoIP phone adapter to work with the modem I called Linksys to ask what I should do. They recommended a Linksys PAP2T adapter which I also bought. 1. The wireless internet connection fails frequently and constantly needs rebooting. I might just as well sit at the wired desktop. 2. The VoIP adapter normally does not work. Linksys tell me there is a known problem between the PAP2T and the WAG160N. It's sad that they didn't tell me this when I asked what to buy. 3. The WAG160N falls over every time I launch my P2P torrent program. Within two minutes the internet fails followed by the DSL line. It has never worked properly. Apparently this is also a known issue with this equipment. I have spent many hours with Linksys help trying to fix these issues, including firmware upgrades and much stuffing around. I have reached the point where I simply want my money back so I can buy other equipment that works.

    Dear Nullifidian,
    Good day! please check once more on your Router Laptop connectivily problem on one hand and VoIP Phone connection on the other. Focus first on the configuration of your WAG160n Router without VoIP PAP2 adapter and observe your connectivity strength with your Host and Laptop computers. Then connect your VoIP adapter to your Host computer before attempting it on your Laptop. Again VoIP configuration is tricky, but once you get into it you will surely appreciate how useful all of what you have (VoIP and Router)
    Regards,
    Ben
