Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Netgear RP 114 Web-Safe 4-Port Cable/DSL Router by Troy Boren

Revainrating 5 out of 5

RP114 really good hardware

I was able to connect my Windows98 and Sun Ultra 5 PC with Solaris 8 in about 2 and 15 minutes respectively. Don't forget to telnet to the modem: telnet 192.168.0.1 and change the default password once you have all your computers. and work. Different models of Netgear routers have the same username and password combinations. For the Sun Ultra series - if you have configuration problems - on Solaris 8: Go to: /usr/sbinexecute:sys-unconfigReboot. Questions. Just have your router's IP address ready. That's all you need. Keep answering the questions and you'll be online in no time. Give your sun box an IP address like 192.168.0.2 or .3 or whatever is not in use. For example, if you have a Windows machine on the network that is already online, give the Solaris system an IP address of +1. The CD that comes with it sucks, and the fold-out manpage isn't great either. Frequently asked questions on the Netgear website recommend that you consult the user manual in many cases. Does not exist. So don't waste your time. But the product itself is very easy to use.
