Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Combo Comment: I purchased this product from Best Buy on sale for about $40.00 and I knew it would be a steal. I followed the instructions, step by step. I was on the internet in about 10 minutes. I was able to get great speed, security and the distance is awesome. I don't work for Microsoft either, I just know how to follow directions. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Comment: This Router Is A Great Buy I Would Never Give it Up For Any Other Router AND NO I DONT WORK FOR MICROSOFT. Ha But The Card And The Router Works Fine With Me There Was No Problem Setting It Up Or Anything Like That Its Was A Great Purchase. And The One Problem I Did Had Was Well After I Set It Up And Microsoft Support Worked Fine And Helped me Fix In In About 10 mins. If Your Looking For A Good Router And A Card This Is The One Customer Rating: Summary: Not Good Comment: Anyone who rates this a 5 must work for microsoft. The wireless card is ok, but the router is absolutley worthless. I never could get the installation software to work with my windows 98 operating system. I had to configure it manually. Then the router would have to be reset 2 to 3 time a day. So when I tried to upload a software update sent by microsoft online, the router stopped working and would not even reset. I had mine for over 90 days, so when I asked microsoft for help, they wanted a service fee. So much for microsoft products. I went out and bought a Linksys router. It installed in 5 minutes. I threw the microsoft router away. I sleep better at night now. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Price, Great Gadget Comment: Here in Pakistan, technology is just coming up. Networking is common but wireless networking is just round the corner. Brand new D-Link/Linksys equipment is available but quite expensive. An Access Point/Router with a laptop PCMCIA card (802.11b) costs about $160 here. So purchasing this Microsoft kit for only $39.88 was peanuts. Setting it up was a breeze! And in no time I was up and about, surfing the web (broadband connection) on my Acer laptop. I was in a state of ecstasy, roaming in different parts of my home with my laptop and browsing the web. I heard about it but experiencing for the first time myself was a feeling out of this world. NO WIRES OR CABLES but full web access everywhere!!! Nobody believes me that I have made this wonderful purchase for such a good price. Customer Rating: Summary: This is an amazing product Comment: I ordered mine one month ago and I am just fascinated with this product. I can share a broadband connection across my flat and I even connected my Pocket PC to the network.
I highly recommend this item. Is cheap, is reliable and is easy to setup. Just don't forget to get the firmware update and install it before you start connecting computers to the network.
