5.0 out of 5 stars Easy setup, good performance, great price, January 13, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: SMC2404WBR Barricade Turbo 11/22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router (Personal Computers)
My home 802.11b wireless setup consists of bits and pieces from different manufacturers--usually whatever is cheapest at the time. I've got a Motorola SB4200 cablemodem, a Compaq wireless access point, a generic Prism chipset wireless PCI card, a Netgear wireless PC Card, a Lucent/Avaya wireless PC Card, and a Linksys BEFSR41 broadband gateway. Around Christmas time, I decided it was time to simplify things a little and replace two pieces of gear (the Linksys gateway and the Compaq wireless access point) with an all-in-one wireless gateway.

I picked this SMC due to the low price without doing a lick of research, but I've been pleasantly surprised. The wireless performance is fine in my 3-story house, and there have been no interoperability problems with the other brands of wireless equipment I use. I don't yet have a matching 22Mbps "turbo" PC Card to take advantage of the faster speeds and 256-bit WEP encryption supported by the TI ACX100 chipset this unit uses, but...Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, slow, hangs!!, December 10, 2004
This review is from: SMC2404WBR Barricade Turbo 11/22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router (Personal Computers)
very bad hardware. After 4 weeks the router started to hang, and I had to reboot it to unlock it. Now this happens every hour, and anyway when it is working my pages take 5 second to load, slower than dial up and I am on cable.
I own and have used lynksis, netgear and belkin, all of them without a problem. I bought smc because of a professional review, but this is bad equipment.
Their support is terrible, if you go to their website you cannot even find new or old firmware for this model.
of course they don't want to honor the warranty because "it is working". Stay away!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very poor range..., December 30, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: SMC2404WBR Barricade Turbo 11/22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router (Personal Computers)
Very poor range even for home networking. Got this in a bundle with SMC wireless laptop card. In the manual for the card SMC claims 1300 feet, router 1155 feet... Signal has failed after 25 feet of space with no obstructions, and 15 feet if one wall is present. For those of you who like me hope to put the router on one floor, and use your computer on another stay away from this product!!! In addition, if you choose to use encryption, your PC will freeze... The higher the level of encryption the faster it freezes.
