Worth the Price!

 

Have 5 mac's and 3 pc's. Wanted to network them using Microsoft ME. Proved to be a burdonsome task, but accomplished. The Linksys was a breeze, working with Microsoft ME and the Linksys was where the problems were encountered. Found that the imbedded...

Does what it is advertised to do

For a lay-person, can be difficult to setup

My Linksys Homenetwork

 

The Linksys Kit comes with everything you need to set up a two station network using a Hub instead of crossovering to peer to peer. The Cards perform well. They come stock with Drivers for DOS Windows 3X 9X NT 2k ME Linux Novell BEOS FreeBSD and OS2...

Compatable with Any OS and Sound well performing hardware

Everything You Need Is in the Box--Except a Miniature Techie

 

Different technologies create different problems. My wife and I are forgetful people, so forgetful that we routinely picked up the phone and interrupted each other's connection to the internet back when we were using phone lines instead of cable...

Affordable, delivers on its promise

Installation wasn't the snap my techie friends said it would be

A Network anyone can setup

 

This network kit is aimed at the casual computer user. When I was first learning how to set up computer I purchased a linksys network in a box kit. It was excellent, I just followed the simple instructions and I was up and running in 20 minutes. It was...

Ease, Cost

Basic computer knowledge required (Duh!!!)

DO NOT BUY IT

 

Here's my gruesome tale of trying to use this kit to network two computers:

The Hub Works

The Cards Don't

Network in a locked box

 

I purchased this product recently to replace some really old network cards I had in my two PCs. I picked this kit because I wouldn't have to use as much cord considering it uses phone jacks, and because it allows you to share internet connection (not...

Setup is a pain

Linksys Network in a Box Can Save You Money in the Longrun

 

Having multiple computers in a home and everyone wanting on the Internet at the same time, you don't have many choices of what to do. Either call up your local phone company and have multiple phonelines installed or network your computer and everyone...

It comes with everything you need

A little pricey

Networking for the Network challenged

 

When I purchased this product ( yes,, no freebies here) I was somewhat skeptical about how well it was going to work. Yes I know the hype about Networks in a box, do it yourself, share the phone and so on. It sounded too good to be true to this network...

cheap and it works with existing phonelines

limited capabilites aside from basic setups

Best thing since sliced bread!

 

This is absolutely the thing to use if you want to make a network between computers in your house and you don't want to run cables all over the place or rip up your walls. The way that this works is by using existing phone lines throughout your house...

No extra wires to run, fast

Need an empty slot in your computer (usually not a problem)
