Review on SMC7004VWBR Barricade Router 100Mbps 802 11B by Nathan Skipper

Like most others who have written reviews, I was drawn to the price of this device and the ability to have a router and wireless access point in one device. I should also mention that I chose this router because it clearly supports Macintosh computers (including AppleTalk) and its configuration is based on a web interface. Ironically, setting up my Powerbook with Airport was seamless and I didn't have a single issue with it. I love the web administration and the feature set you have (MAC management, WEP, SPI, firewall etc.). The biggest issues I had with this router were its DHCP server and how it communicated with my wife's Sony Vaio with a D-Link DWL-650+ card. So far I haven't had any luck even with a static IP. I didn't have to reset this box like some others. Your mileage may vary. Technical support is located in India. Very polite but they are pretty strict on the script and despite repeated calls I have not been referred to a higher level specialist. I suspect there are better ones, but so far it works.
