Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So if I saw a review title like that I'd say to myself "Oh, there's someone else who doesn't have the knowledge to set up their wireless router mad at their equipment." Let me tell you, I have installed many routers in my lifetime and have posted several favorable reviews of routers here on Amazon. However, this thing is a piece of junk.
I am reviewing this as a wireless router/access point, not as a wireless adapter for your computer. I had hoped to use this router for travel to set up my own mini wireless networks in hotel rooms to use Skype on my iPhone to call home for free when in Asia. Theoretically, you should be able to plug this router into an a/c outlet, then plug the ethernet into the internet, and go online. No can do. I tried two computers- windows 7 and XP- and was not successful in securing a connection to the internet via this router. The router would connect and then drop immediately.
The manual is written in laughable English. There are references to obtaining a "user id and password from China Telecom" so clearly this thing is re-purposed (maybe it's included with China Telecom's package to home users there?). There are directions on using a ID and password to "access internet."
Trust me, this one's worth a pass. The price is great, but it doesn't work.
