Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently bought and installed this SMC router to replace by older SMC Router that had given up the ghost, after 4 years. The average lifetime of comparable home routers is about 2-3 years. Reliability,outstanding technical support, plus a USB Printer connection were the main reasons I bought this thing. I have tried Linksys and D Link routers and took them back. There are cheaper products out there but... you get what you pay for.
Installation went well. I had a few connection problems but the Technical Support Staff got me straightened out. The new installation wizard for the USB printer works just fine. The printer must first be connected directly to and installed on each individual computer that is going to be on your network, then connected to the router via the USB port. It's a driver thing.
Some things to bear in mind. If your are networking a desktop and a laptop and expecting to get 300 Mbps you will need a Network Card or an Adaptor Card capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps in each computer. If you decide to go with a wired network and connect the laptop to the router, in addition to the desktop, insure you use at least a CAT 6 Network Cable, capable of supporting a 10/100/1000 Base T-network. If your network port leads to an internal 10/100 Mbps card or device, then that's all you are going to get. Finally, insure to separate the location of the router away from your DSL Broadband Modem by at least a few feet. The SMC Router, with the WLAN Switch On will transmit a signal that will interfere with the modem and create problems with certain internet sites.
