3.0 out of 5 stars This thing causes frustration..., January 24, 2003

I've owned this router for about 6 or 7 months now and I cannot say that I am impressed with it. While the installation was very easy, and it works, it constantly needs to be reset. As a result of constantly resetting it, I've had to call tech support to get help on how to fix it (security settings, resetting the router thoroughtly, etc). They've been helpful both times I've called, but it's irritating that I have to call at all. If I can get the thing up and running (for months, mind you), why can't it STAY up and running??? Oh, and I've never gotten the print server to work. I had very little interest in it doing so, so I didn't try too hard.

I own a Siemens router. It worked great for about 6 months and then it died. Siemens did replace it with another, and upgaded it because they apparently admit the other was no good. The new "improved" Siemens router worked for a while, now it's print spooling function won't operate properly. I've wasted about three business days with tech support, fussing with the two Siemens routers trying to get them to stay running. I recommend to anyone to avoid Siemens router products.

I've owned one of these for months now, and I have to reset it at least twice a day, every day. All you have to do is reset it and it comes back up and works great, but we have computers in different rooms, and my wife always knows that the first time she wants to use her computer she has to stop in my office and reset the router first, so it has become a habit. It was easy to install, but what a pain! I'm on this site looking for another one because I just can't take it anymore.
