"dead in a year", December 24, 2005

... is how I'd sum up my experiences with these routers (two consecutive ones!)

Not a Good Buy, November 2, 2004
By user
This is an unreliable and soon to be discontinued router. Mine worked well for 5-6 months then died. Ironically, it was a factory replacement for an original SpeedStream router that died after only 4 months. SpeedStream is getting out of the router business, so beware of buying this soon-to-be-orphaned device.

Died at 13 months, August 12, 2004

This router worked great for 13 months and then just went completely belly-up. I notice I'm the second person to state this. Beware.

Crappy product, March 18, 2004
By user
I had a different SpeedStream router for about 10 months when it crapped out on me. I sent it in to the manufacturer and about a month later they sent me the Powerline version of their product. I had a lot of trouble setting it up and since their tech support is only open from 7 to 7, I waited a long time to be able to call them for help. Just yesterday, after three months with this new router, the wireless capabilities stopped functioning. Of course, I had to go into work late so I could call their tech support to find this out. So my router is now worthless to me. Luckily it has been 13 months since the purchase date and my warranty is kaput. So I am now in the market for a new router. I guarantee I will never by another SpeedStream product. Crap Crap Crap!

Powerline adapter works great, May 25, 2003
By user
The unit worked flawlessly out of the box. No hassle. It connected with other powerline accessories in areas where wireless could not reach. Great product.

Great so far, May 3, 2003
By user
Received the unit yesterday, went to CompUSA to purchase an el cheapo wireless PC Card, had everything set up in 25 minutes. Using laptop + wireless card <----> SpeedStream 2524 now to write this review, I'm downstairs and down the hall from the SpeedStream and have excellent conection. Haven't tried the PowerLine connection yet but plan to in the next month... (NOTE: for all HomePlug/PowerLine devices -- do not plug them into fancy power-strips/surge protectors/UPS!!).
