Revainrating 3 out of 5

Excellent, easy to install and use, even for INTERNATIONAL users

Hello, I live in Santiago de Chile, here in South America. I have a DSL connection from the first local company that offers DSL here. I was afraid that this router has some US specifics. But I bought it, I installed it here and it's PERFECT. Truly unbelievable. So if any non-US user wants to get this Babyu, fear not, as long as it works in Chile, it will work everywhere! :) I'm using it with a NOKIA (M51) car for DSL, my phone company is here in Chile, [.] PROS: ----- - Very easy to set up. - Transparent use and setup for non-technical people - Fits vertically or horizontally (important to save space) - Great performance with no glitches or crashes. - Upgradable firmware ideal for updating new protocols - Excellent firewall, I have done many tests, for example by Symantec or CNet and my system is very safe from hacking attacks - Web configuration - A REAL turnkey solution CONS: ---- - All menu configurations and manuals in English (important for international customers) - The kit does not include a basic CAT5 cable, you need to buy it yourself. - Status LEDs do not show what is happening. - Since it has web configuration, it requires MS Internet Explorer to use it, which is not good for users who use browsers like Opera or other not so well-known software. TOTAL ----------- I am paying for 1 broadband internet connection and surfing the internet from 3 computers in my house at the same time AND I have a router/switch at home. What more could you want for 120€? Sincerely, Alexander Schek
