Wed, 14 May 2003 02:34:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jnoschese - Linksys I think was one of the first to come out with a cable modem router, and then companies followed suite. I still think Linksys has the most user friendly (for the uneducated computer user) interface around. I remember seeing Netgears and others...

Fri, 9 May 2003 00:57:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccchm - This router is one of the better ones I've seen. The setup is quite easy initially, but I do find that if you make a change, you do have to disable then enable your connection (repair connection in XP) in order to get an internet connection again.
