Couldn't be happier, January 18, 2005
By Neil (New York, NY)
I found this for $20 after rebate [...]. I had been paying Time Warner $5/month for wireless access, so I wanted a wireless access point that would pay for itself quickly, while also giving good performance. I had used Hawking products before (switches and wireless cards specifically), and their reputation is for being cheap and good-performing.
This router is no exception. I get great speed and connectivity throughout my apartment. (I should note that I live in a studio, so I'm not sure how its signal would carry through a large house.) And notably for me, it's IPSec tunneling works great, so I can log into my office VPN from home.
There was a slight hassle setting it up to only permit certain MAC addresses. I also had to be careful to log out of the web interface, otherwise when I attempted to log in from another computer, it would say "192.168.not.mine is administering the router." But these are nit picks. For such a great price, I couldn't be happier.
And Hawking does fulfill their warranties: I had a switch that died after 1 year, and they replaced it with no hassle.
