This Product (MSBBN) is similiar to all Microsoft
Products: They lure you in with it's ease of use, simplicity and cost, and then the product doesn't work to specifications: Since I have purchased my BroadBand Router, Wireless Adapter Cards and other "Microsoft Networking Products", I have had nothing but trouble. 1. Purchased BroadBand Base Station 2. Purchased Wirless NICS (4) 3. Installed on PC's (4) at my home--Two Desktops, Two NoteBooks 4. None of the wireless devices stay connected to the web for over 5 minutes 5. Can plug each device directly into Base Station via Cat5 Cable, and all work 6. Have called Technical Support numerous times, to no avail. 7. Have updated software to all devices and Base Station to latest revision, to no avail 8. Going to Try LINKSYS Product Now. 9. When Wireless does work, throughput is approximately 10% of what it should be (ie DSL Speed Test, while connected directly to base station is over 1MB..When through wireless device, is approximately 100K (AT BEST)) 10. Have moved base station all over home, to no avail 11. Have reset channel on Base Station, to no avail 12. Have reset Wireless Security on base station, to no avail. 13. Tried both 802.b and 802.g settings, to no avail. 14. What is even worse, I sent in my REBATE for purchasing this crappy product, (another stupid process Microsoft has, in order to keep your money) they returned it saying I wasn't eligible... 15. Did I mention that my network is entirely Microsoft?? XP (all the latest SP, Hotfixes, etc that they force you to download daily)?? This product sucks...I'm returning and trying LINKSYS. I recommend everyone here to do the same... I will post my results on the LINKSYS Product here. BL \(Terrible Terrible Experience\) |
