LINKSYS WET610N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band

Comment:
Excellent variety and speed. Normally there's no contest b/w g and n, but with my setup this bridge on five.8 outperformed a 2.4 connection directly to the e3000 ƒ strong floors separating these devices) No DD-WRT It definitly generates alot of heat. I haven't had any difficulties but...we shall c

This bridge is ideal for wireless media playback on a PS3 or Xbox. There is no lag in the playback like there is with the common 802.11g that comes with the console. Everything is functioning great and I'm amazed with the connection speed. The setup can be a little confusing. Just make positive that you keep connected to the router all through the setup. You're better off skipping the auto-connect and putting in your router password for setup. There is only one particular ethernet port on the bridge so the income much better be worth that a single connection.

Remarkable small Bridge. functions effectively with my wrt160nv2. Fast and no skips. Operates well plugged into a Wired Network. 24port 1000base/t NetworkƑ nas200 2 desktops with dual network ports set in teaming. 1 360 wired) with a wap54g rebroadcasting the network to three computer's and a 360. Overheats. when it overheats it looses connection until the heat dissipates. If you disconnect the energy for 20-30s the unit will boot back up and function correctly. with all the components of my network on all at the similar time the wet will last about three hrs ahead of it disconnects. Signal detection on networks other than N with wpa2 is Poor. It will connect and operate but it will not give a proper signal strength or will show disconnected in the GUI. I will be Modifying the Wet with a fan. But it does operate well if I leave it in my window࿀f outside.) I am using this Homeowner variety device in a way it is not created. eight+ devices running threw one particular wireless will always result in troubles.would have liked it to have antennas that have been capable to be aimed. will look into the capacity to mount a sma connector.

Effortless Setup. Appears cool. Dual band is additional plus. Linksys excellent. None. Setup is easy. Best to just log-in to router and set it up. The supplied LELA application is probably ok. Did not function with my Win Vista 32 simply because I use different IP addresses and LELA could not locate the router. I had to alter my Vista IP address to initially connect to the router. I then changed the router's IP address to fit my design. Then I changed my Vista IP address back to it's original setting. I could then set all parameters of the router and the wireless settings. I hugely recommend this item. Wonderful Newegg pricing and service!

Will operate if you have no security setup on your existing wireless network. Will not perform if you have security enabled on your wireless network. I have a Linksys WRT350N router setup with WPA2 making use of a 63 character password and will not connect unless I disable the wireless safety. Nothing else on my network has any troubles Ɠ laptops and 1 SAT radio). Linksys tech assistance does not know anything about it and only says it need to work. Their only suggestion is to disable safety on my wireless network or use a quick password about 10 characters long. Shame on linksys - I will assume twice ahead of I acquire one more 1 of their merchandise. Very poor assistance options from Linksys. I consider it could have been a good solution with the right firmware to resolve these problems, I do not believe it was tested extremely nicely ahead of release.

None. I purchased this to stream Netflix to an HDTV with an ethernet jack. Wired ... Netflix functions completely. With this bridge, nevertheless, Netflix brings up errors when it tries to list accessible films. Regardless of preceding poor Newegg testimonials, I purchased this due to the fact I currently had a WAP610N access point which is the match to this and mainly because I only had to go 25-30 feet, so I thought signal strength/performance wouldn't be an situation. I talked to Linkys help twice and they had been clueless and entirely unhelpful. If you want to do anything other than low-bandwidth hookups, DON"T Acquire THIS. IT DOES NOT Work AS ADVERTIZED! I am fairly seasoned at gigabit residential networks and this product does not do even close to what it is advertized to be capable of performing.

Uncomplicated to configure, even less complicated to deploy. Supports all wireless protocols and security. Outstanding for KnoppMyth n00bs (like myself) who couldn't get WPA2 to perform on a WMP54G. No ability (that I could find) to block ports on this device; have to be completed on the router.

Was easy setup. Followed the CD instructions. Worked proper off the bat. Great reception 'inside' my entertainment cabinet (and will later move it on best). This avoided all that wifi configuration inside my BluRay player. As soon as a obtain, amazing service from NewEgg - Received it the next day! Would be great to indicate reception good quality/speed - does not, so I'll need to have to replace the connection with my laptop to test it. I do have a linksys router (WRT310N) and connecting to Samsung BluRay (that would have needed their proprietary USB adapter. So I went this route for ŭ additional. For the Netflix 'Quality', I had 7 of 10 bands so I will need to investigation that. Why not 10 - direct LAN connection??? Undertaking 4 stars simply because not positive lengthy term.

Functions nicely and setup was incredibly straightforward. N/A Does what it desires to. Replaced my Wireless G bridge.

Ethernet Wireless N Adapter No Gigabit ethernet, can't fully make use of 801.11n speeds.

Compact device that can detect both two.four and five ghz radio's that operates nicely for my PS3. Capable to stream films much better from my personal computer using PS3 media server. I isolated my 5 ghz wireless N band for this bridge and appear to get significantly less lag than employing the PS3's wireless G when playing games, but haven't had it lengthy adequate to test and confirm. So far no matters with the device. Want it had more than a single ethernet port. The ethernet port is not not gigabit. Wish there was an selection for external antennas. May perhaps not be quick for some customers to set up if they don't know substantially about computers. I have UPnP enabled on my pc, so I merely plugged in the WET610N to one of ethernet ports on my WRT600n, and the WET610N was detected on my network as a UPnP device. I just clicked on the UPnP WET610N icon and was able to access the bridge without the need of any concerns. If you don't have the present firmware, update it to fix some difficulties with the bridge. Immediately after the update I did a "wireless network internet site survey" detected my Wireless N five ghz radio and capable to connect applying WPA2 private encryption with no trouble. Unplugged it from my router and hooked up my PS3 and didn't have any connectivity issues. So far pleased with my obtain.

Easy to set up, amazing Newegg cost and shipping, plays good with my older Linksys router. Non but. I bought this to connect my DirecTV receiver to the internet to receive On Demand programming. This is one particular of the two units that DirecTV sells themselves and consequently supports. The setup CD says to run it ahead of hooking anything up. Tip: Don't attempt and outsmart the program, just run the CD!!! It only takes like five minutes. You will need a pc that is tough wired to the router. Place in the CD, do what it says (its Actually standard). It configures every little thing for you. BTW, anyone who says this doesn't help WPA2 doesn't know what they're talking about. I put in my crazy 20-character password with all sorts of symbols and it had NO problem. Disconnected it per the set up directions, hooked it up to the DirecTV receiver, it recognized the Linksys wireless adapter, ran the setup on it, and VOILA! I'm downloading On Demand programming! My 4-year old WRT54G router is upstairs, WET610N downstairs, no range or connection issues so far. Ideal price I identified!

Operates great for streaming video from HP mediasmart to PS3. None Sony should have integrated built in wireless n.

This is fundamentally a plug and play kind of device. Plug it into a router that presents DHCP addresses, put in the management CD, configure the device and you are prepared to go. I am using it as a network bridge to connect two separate LAN segments at my residence that would be difficult to do by tricky wire. The reality that it supports both 2.four and five ghz is good to. I have it bridging in the 5 ghz range had been there is much much less interference. The only con is the ๠ price tag. For not considerably much more you can have a full wireless router. Immediately after all LinkSys is component of Cisco so you would count on a good practical experience ;-).

It configured by means of the utility in a couple of minutes. It has been strong since I turned it on. Paired it with the matching router (WRT610N). Supporting XBox360, PS3, and Tivo HD. All are streaming video on a dedicated wireless band from the router. Having a second band to handle traffic is really good. Looks stylish but with the cables (front and rear) it is just awkward. I wanted far better wireless support and my old Westell 7500 (Verizon modem/router/access point for DSL) was not executing effectively with wireless connections. Speed is about the very same as G in frame burst mode with my modest DSL connection 鼴 Kbps Up, 3Mbps Down).Wish it had a hub built in for the cost. Fantastic option to Energy Line then.

Worked fantastic out of the box. Obtaining high data prices even through a couple of wire lath walls (which are notoriously terrible for RF). Easy setup, normal Linksys UI. When yet again Newegg has a excellent cost and ships speedily! No difficulty using WPA2/AES. Getting 160Mbps, blazing rapidly! Working with with a Linksys WRT610N. Expensive, but worth it. I don't fully grasp all the poor critiques. I had no difficulty obtaining this to operate. Another assessment stated it only connected at reduce information rates. I saw the identical behavior, till I began pushing information by means of, at which point it jumped up and stayed at the larger prices. No trouble working with WPA2. Functions wonderful even at 5GHz. I write 802.11 firmware for a living, and know really a bit about wireless, so knew what I was getting into.

Very easy to set up. I used the set-up CD, which I frequently don't and almost everything worked fine. I have it upstairs about 40' in a straight line from the router. Widgets and apps function fine on the Television it is attached also. Flashing blue lights are also bright. Get some some electrical tape. Pricey for what it does, in my opinion. Functions effectively, but 贘 is fairly steep. I got it with a Newegg combo, so I paid closer to what I assume it is essentially worth. Actually a four star item, except for that value.

Comment:
This item installed very quick and straightforward; load the disc and observe the prompts and item installs in 5 minutes; compact style and nicely identified manufacturer; encouraged by DirectTV for use as a wireless ethernet connection essential to obtain OnDemand viewing. Would extremely suggest this product. No Cons. I ordered this item before noon and received it the next day at noon. The best value and no cost shipping as well. Will be purchasing a second unit when needed.

fast connection and speedy to set up came scratched but performs. -1 i use mine to connect my xbox360 and it works excellent.

Jury is nonetheless out. I could update this critique as soon as I've had it a even though. I just got it working. Really slow to boot/reboot. I attempted different occasions for 2 weeks to get this factor to connect to my WRT54G router making use of WPA Individual TKIP encryption. I could under no circumstances get it to connect unless I turned off security encryption on my router.I lastly figured out that the WPA passphrase can\'t have spaces in it. When I made the spaces into underscores it connected like a champ. I ought to have thought of this correct away but didn't for some cause.
