5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent router, January 24, 2001

This review is from: Macsense MIH-130 Xrouter Pro 10/100 Router for Cable DSL Modems (Personal Computers)

I got one at the start of 2001 and have been very pleased with it. The web-based setup (actually I didn't need to do anything other than plug it in) was easily accessed from my Mac systems, and the 4-port 10/100 hub should be useful when I get machines with faster ethernet someday. It shares my cable modem connection between our two computers quite transparently. Highly recommenced over software solutions that I have tried in the past.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy this one. Not the Netgear RT314. You'll be happy., April 3, 2001

The MIH130 works. Plain and simple. It was very easy to install. Easy to upgrade the ROM. I needed to talk to their tech support. They picked up after about 15 seconds and offered some excellent advice which helped speed the throughput by about 300 percent. I can pretty much say the opposite for Netgear. They used to be a good company with good products. The first RT314 I got was broken. I think. That's what they told me. 24/7 support? Ha! I was on hold over the weekend for over 30 minutes. I hung up. On a weekday their tech support kept me on hold for about 25 minutes. They were not willing to go through my settings with me to troubleshoot. They simply said to return it. I did. However, I got another one just for kicks. It, too, was a dog. Don't let that pretty blue metal box of the Netgear products dazzle you. It's not the box you're buying; it's the stuff inside. By the way, I'm on PacBell DSL. The MIH130 is working fantastically! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because I'd like to see a more durable casing. No big deal. It's a guy thing.

I searched the web for days looking at review after review, looking for the best router that would split internet access between My Mac G4, and my Pentium 3. The MIH-130 never came up and I only happened upon it at Amazon. Well it has to be one of the best products I have ever bought. It was SOOOOO easy to set up(took less than five minutes), and it works like a dream. Truly a first class product
