Review: Easy to set up and works perfectly - Easy to set up and ideal for my intended use, I have been using a Belkin version for several years but it had been playing up for a few weeks dropping connections and getting very hot so I decided it was time to change it. I didn’t need anything too big or with masses of ports as it is just used as an extension to my smart TV, Android box, Satellite TV box and a hardwire link for plugging in my wife’s laptop when she needs a windows update or something transferring off my main desktop PC and this looked ideal. Setup is simple and just a case of plugging everything in and it’s done depending on your setup, for me it was just a case of switching out the old and in with the new. The box is nice and compact and everything is well finished, the light indicators work as they should showing activity on each port when in use, the box has no internal fan but even after being on all day it is just warm so no issues with that, the speed seems good, solid and consistent through all ports when I gave them all a file transfer test. I have added a short video and will also add some pictures just showing the unboxing and then plugging in all the network cables, overall I am very pleased with this purchase it is ideal for replacing my old one at a reasonable price and I would certainly recommend it.
Review: Comprehensive Router - I wanted a router to use to upgrade the Virgin Super Hub 3 that came with my Virgin deal as it was limited to say the least. I did a bit of research and went for this model as it offered most of what I wanted. As well as good wireless functionality I wanted a VPN Server and a decent DHCP Server. So far it has been relatively east to setup, although the VPN servers have caused me some issues, probably due to my lack of experience setting up VPNs. DHCP is good, although one minor weakness is the inability to set device names except by using IP Reservations. The aerials are also prone to being a bit slack, but once positioned they seem fine so far. The icing on the cake for me is that the router can use 2 broadband inputs which is just what I wanted. Although I still have some tweaking to get the many varied settings just as I want them I am extremely pleased with this router. I also get a much better speed when connected to the Wi-Fi than I did with the Virgin router, so performance is very good. The web based portal is very good, and the app is fine, but other than installing it for a "play" when the router first arrived I don't think I will use it much. So far, definitely 5 stars from me.
