🔌 VIZIO XWR100 High Definition Dual-Band Wireless Internet Router Review

I chose this router because I just like testing other products from the company that interest me. So far the price is good and it serves its purpose. My old WRT54GS router kept shutting down and I had to restart it to connect to the internet. This product solved that problem, now I don't get disconnected anymore and I've noticed an improvement in my wireless connection and some speed. The best thing I liked about this product is that setting router password is incredibly easy. Initially when…

Long story short, Vizio's incompetent engineering department tricked me into buying a poorly performing router. I bought a Vizio 60 inch flat screen TV that has several internet apps built in. TV, it refused to connect to my Belkin router even though all other devices in my house worked fine with it. They said I had to buy a new router (remember the same router worked fine with all other devices in my house). , including a brand new ipad4 with the latest Apple technology.) However, I ordered…

I had an old Linksys WRT54g that I always had. I decided it was time to buy a new router and found this while researching dual band routers. I have a Vizio Smart TV so I decided to try it for a very low price. I was expecting a headache setting it up, but was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have any issues. I went into the router and set up the 5 and 2.4 GHz networks for my SSIDs and passphrase. I connected my TV to the 5GHz network along with one of the laptops and a few others/phones on…

Setup was easy and I was online in about 3 minutes using my PS3, XBox, laptop, tablet and phone. My only concern is that there is no user manual/troubleshooting guide and there are some things about the router that should be explained or at least easily accessible to the user. First, a router has 3 networks it can broadcast to. VIZIO HD (5GHz), VIZIO (2.4GHz) and one labeled STANDARD (slowest and disabled by default). When looking for a connection, I noticed that the VIZIO HD network is not…

There was a Linksys WRT54GS with acceleration. He was at least 5 years old but we paid a lot and I thought he was still working. We have a 2 bedroom apartment and had 2 laptops, a Roku and a Samsung 3D TV. Or should I say we tried. I had to unplug and plug my Linksys router back in several times a day, and even when it worked, Netflix kept stopping and 3D streaming was almost out of the question. We thought it was a cable issue because once they came in, fiddled with a few things and it worked…

. As advertised, this Vizio router does a great job surfing the web, streaming HD Netflix, other apps, etc. Also, the dedicated dual band really makes a difference when downloading/uploading. That's significantly better than Belkin's $20 router. Hence 5 stars here. Where is missing? Stream HD from PC to my HDTV with DLNA Complaint Device. I record a lot of HD movies/clips and I want to watch these movies on HDTV. But when I try to stream from Windows Media Player/PC to HDTV (with Sony Blu-ray…

I was hesitant to buy a Vizio router because the company isn't known for their wireless technology. Two things changed my mind: 1) The reviews were generally positive, while the negatives were half for support and half for performance. I've installed several wireless routers over the years and found that perfectly good routers won't work with some settings, and sometimes it's not even about the connection, it's about the environment. 2) Many years ago no one heard of Vizio for TVs and now the…
