Reliable and Fast: Networking Products

I have quite a bit of experience with Linksys BEFSR series broadband routers, Netgear MR314 and now FM114P. Of these, the FM114P wins on almost all fronts. Overall I liked the Linksys range as it had some nice features including port mapping and UPnP support that Netgear products don't have. On the other hand, they also have random hangs and don't do Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI). SPI is becoming increasingly important with the rise of denial of service attacks and port scanning bots.

Solid product: computer and accessories

I bought this router after months of trouble with a Linksys BEFW11P1 that died one night due to a fatal red diagnostic light that refused to turn off. That's all he advertises. It offers excellent range thanks to the detachable antenna and I would like to add that it is WiFi certified. I get 11MB reception in places where it used to be 2. That's a real leap. Its firewall is robust and reliable. SPI is a great feature these days. It comes with a lot of setup help material to help someone with no

Excellent and reliable wireless connection!

I bought the Revain FM114P router and MA-410 wireless PCMCIA card (see separate review). FM114P worked right out of the box, with no installation or configuration required. I took the internet cable from my computer, connected it to the FM114P and connected the internet cable (supplied) from my cable modem to the FM114P. It worked perfectly. I would recommend unplugging the cable modem and plugging it back in about 5-10 seconds later. Some cable modems require this reset after a configuration…
