Most helpful customer reviews 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Highly disappointed By E Crews Having more than 13 years under my belt as a multi-certified IT consultant often engaging projects independently or as the technical lead for clients such as JPMorgan-Chase, Walt Disney's EPCOT Center, Orlando International Airport, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, and more, I should have known better than to think this low-priced unit with such high-performance claims was too good to be true... and I would have been right. The goal was to bridge a network where the EOC-5611 and it's predecessor, the now discontinued EOC-5610, were 240 feet apart. With direct unobstructed line-of-sight, mounted atop a 25' mast, and fitted with high-quality ethernet cable, the signal began to fade at 100 feet and was completely degraded by 150 feet, regardless of band or antenna type used. The unit likewise performed as poorly when used as an access point. A good signal could be achieved between 80-100 feet, but dropped so significantly that a connection could not be made past 150 feet. In my tests, this unit failed to produce more than 10mW using the internal panel antenna and no more than 13mW using a 9dBi external omni-directional antenna for both the 802.11a and 802.11b/g bands - nowhere near the company's 600mW claim and more akin to consumer-grade indoor access points in the sub-$50 price range offered by LinkSys, NetGear, or Belkin. Interestingly, phone conversations with the technical support personnel at EnGenius revealed that the unit, when fitted with the external omni antenna mentioned above, could expect to reach only a maximum of 400mW and that the internal antenna was only for the 802.11a band... that an external antenna was necessary if one wished to use the 802.11b/g band. They suggested that I spend hundreds more per unit for a parabolic, yagi, or patch directional antenna to achieve a strong signal for the 240' distance I required. Amazing... the advertising boasts that this unit is "high-power" commercial-grade client premises equipment, easily capable of 1-30km transmission range. Yet, in reality, I can throw a baseball a greater distance than this unit can transmit a wireless signal! Based on the information presented here, at Amazon, and information and data sheets obtained at the EnGenius web site, I recommended this product to a client with a low-budget for the client/bridge solution. What should have been a quick and easy install resulted in many hours of on-site configuration and troubleshooting, and ultimately caused a strained client relationship. Although I salvaged the client, it cost me an additional $1300 to replace these units with a pair of D-Link DWL-2700AP's to do so. They work flawlessly and I have never looked back. If I could give Zero stars for this product, I would. Unless you love headaches, frustration, and losing clients... run away, run far away from the EOC-5610/EOC-5611. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This product works By Johnny D EnGenius products just work as expected, have been using them for years with great results, Do not be caught up in cheaper products or overpriced products because of the name. They are reliable. I am in busness for 30 years in the Audio Video industry lots of products are crap beware. Owner Johnny 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Perfect "Long Range" WiFi Solution By Doug Hello, I do all of the IT work for a very large RV park and we have had major problems with WiFi in the past, but I've got to tell you; ever since I installed this unit in the park our problems are now only a distant memory. This pole mounted Engenius router (600MW Client Bridge/access Point), along with the right antenna, are absolutely the right choice for any of your long range WiFi needs. I paired this unit up with the "Hawking HI Gain Omni Directional Outdoor 15dBi Antenna" and set it up for a range of 2 kilometers. I set it at maximum power and I haven't

With a Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge in the garage, and another one (or a Wireless-G Access Point) in the house, you're connected--no digging trenches, and no overhead wires. Let the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge from Linksys open up exciting new possibilities for your wireless network. See a comparison diagram of the different wireless technologies. Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere -- without wires. Outside of the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, airports -- great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer. What Wireless Standard is Right for Me? Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use. Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed. For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time: 802.11b 802.11a 802.11g 802.11a/g To learn about the differences between the standards and select the right one for your network, click here for an easy-to-understand chart.
Most helpful customer reviews 56 of 57 people found the following review helpful. Linksys/Cisco:"NOT FOR STREAMING, NOT for VPN..." By YourMileageMayVary If you are considering this bridge to do video/audio streaming inside your house, think again. This review is based on over 2 months worth of testing this unit and then working with Linksys/Cisco trying to figure why it does not deliver. A saleperson at a local store may have told you that you can stream MP3s over your wireless network, or perhaps you have two DVRs in your house and your want to stream recorded TV shows from one to another. This is not the device you want to use for this purpose. Don't belive me? Ask Linksys level 3 support. Its architecture is not designed to support high levels of network traffic needed for streaming -- it has very small or zero I/O buffers to handle it -- as a result, the device will crash after 2-5 minutes of streaming. You can power cycle it and it will resume for the next 2-5 min. But forget streaming for a moment, WET54G crashed when I was simply working from home VPN'd into my company. Not for that either?! Do you think that WET54G ver 2 is better than WET54G ver 1? Been there, don't waste your time -- the architecture is the same. Alternatives? WET54GS5 might be better, but I'm yet to find that out myself. I know you want to try it yourself. Piece of advice -- buy at a retail store, and if it doesn't work, return within 30 days. Do not get into RMA exchanges with Linksys - unless you enjoy 2 months of 2-3 hours/day trying to get your money back. 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful. Run far, far away from this By Andy I purchased a total of 4 of these units to replace a fleet of aging WET11 bridges (which I may add performed flawlessly in their years of service) at both my home and business. Immediately after setting them up I began to notice problems which required frequent rebooting of the bridges. After less than 24 hours, one of the units went completely dead and unresponsive, and since then one other has bitten the dust as well. I have wasted countless hours with Linksys support online, and was told that I should run WEP encryption on my network to help solve the problem, even though the main reason I bought the WET54G is because it supports WPA. Needless to say I returned all of the bridges for a refund. To make matters worse, now my old WET11 bridges are now also acting strangly (I'm guessing due to my WRT54G router's firmware upgrade that was suggested by the fine folks at Linksys). I have long been a fan of Linksys even though most other people seem to put them down. However, this product on its own has convinced me never again to do business with Linksys. If you are in search of a wireless bridge, do yourself a favor and go with the Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP wireless ethernet crossover, or else look into a WDS system. 34 of 38 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Replacement for WET11 By Book Reviews Weekly I bought this unit to replace my Linksys WET11. I was using the WET11 for my ReplayTV, but was converting all of my wireless network over to Wireless-G Only. Just so you know, I never use the CD that comes with these things. I just plug it in and view my router admin page to see what IP it gets (provided you are using DHCP). Then open a browser and type in the IP assigned to it. I have found this to be the easiest and quickest way to configure these. It takes about 30 seconds total. I am very happy with the WET54G - it works great with my ReplayTV, so if you have a ReplavyTV or a TIVO it should work fine. See all 157 customer reviews...

Most helpful customer reviews 30 of 30 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic network switch By M. Saunders I had been looking at the FS116 for some time, hoping for the prices to come down. Recently, I was able to get one at a good price from Amazon so I jumped on it.This switch, unlike many of the Linksys products, is made of *metal*. It is VERY solidly built and quite small - not much taller than the network jacks themselves. It does not have any fans and runs only slightly warm to the touch.... EVERY port on this device is now uplink capable, not just one port "with a button" as the heading indicates. For me, this was a pleasant surprise as I have several ethernet cables that are designed for uplinking and with this switch, I can use them whenever I need to due to the auto-detection on all 16 ports.I really like that the LEDs and cables come-out of the front. The trend in consumer level devices is to put the cables on the rear. This does not work for me as I have my "network center" in the basement and all of the cables approach from the front (note, front-connect is how professional-level equipment is built and the fact that the Netgear uses that also harkens to their power-user-level equipment).Anyway, I have been using this switch transparently for a couple of months now. It functions just as a switch should: without a thought. It just works.Mike 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Low Cost, Works Well By lschofield I wanted to upgrade my home network from a 10M/sec hub built into my router to a 100M/sec switch. I probably could have gotten by with an 8 port product, but I've wired up a few outlets to a patch panel and didn't want to have to walk to the basement and patch around as I moved around the house. This 16 port version seemed like a good way to go.The product is very different styling than other Netgear products I have (not that I cared). It is small, not a much larger profile than the plugs themselves need, and the case is very sturdy and solid. With no fans, it makes no noise. My only negative comment is I would have preferred a standard 19 inch width for rack mounting, but others will prefer this more condense case. Fits on a shelf easy, or you could mount it to the wall with screws on the underside.And the end result -- much faster home network! This would be a good solution for anyone with a larger home or small office wired network, or someone who hosts LAN parties. 16 ports will connect a lot of people! 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Unethical Netgear Does NOT Honor Warranties By Tractor Tech The equipment is OK. I mean, not really much to go wrong since it's just a switch. The problem is Netgear will not honor the supposed lifetime warranty. Worse is they have you on hold for ever, bounce you from one tech (sorry, they call them "engineers" - an insult to real engineers everywhere) to the next. Finally they tell you the problem is software (even the power light does not illuminate yet somehow it's software, who'd a thunk it) and try and bill for premium support rates. When that was refused they hung up on me. So, yes, Netgear stuff might seem like a good deal but be prepared to replace it on your own nickel when it fails (mine lasted 8 months).

Most helpful customer reviews 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Phone is decent, POLYCOM IS TERRIBLE! By RVA Customer This is the third Polycom phone our company has purchased. We had two analog versions of the conference room phones prior to our Voip system. If you have wi-fi access points in close proximity to these phones you might have connection issues. The IP 7000 is okay, just cross your fingers that you don't have any problems with it that might require Polycom's non-existent customer support. Our company bought an open box model of this phone and it died shortly (1 month!)after the warranty period was over. I called Polycom just to ask some questions but Polycom doesn't provide support to end users, only reselllers. I found a local reseller who sent the phone to Polycom for troubleshooting and they deemed it un-repairable. When we got the phone back, Polycom had conveniently forgotton to include our A/C adapter. What a disappointment! If you are looking for a conference room phone consider other alternatives, Konftel and ClearOne are great alternatives and they are priced considerably less!
