4.0 out of 5 stars Good product for simple tasks, November 17, 2007
By Under the Influence (Belleville, IL United States) - See all my reviews
  
My 1000H Homeportal has been a solid performer and was extremely easy to install. I have been using it for three years and have had no problems. However, I don't recommend this device unless you are looking for the cheapest, most reliable solution to sharing an Internet connection, files and printer between computers. The 2Wire 2700HG-B DSL Modem Router Wireless Access Point currently sells for about the same price and is a much better product.

The 1000HW acts as the network Access Point for up to four PCs, which can then simultaneously share a single internet connection, printers, and files between any of the computers. The Homeportal has only one ethernet and one USB 1.1 connection, meaning that the connection of more than one PC to the unit will require Wireless networking or a seperate device that allows multiple ethernet cable connections. The Homeportal is limited to Wireless 802.11B connections. This means slower connection than 802.11G when networking wirelessly, and definitely not a good thing for those looking to stream music or video files or any video rich Internet content. Given that, I highly recommend getting the 2Wire 2700HG-B DSL Modem Router Wireless Access Point. The 2700HG-B is 802.11G and allows four ethernet connections.

The 1000HW has a built-in firewall that will provide all the security most users need when coupled with Anti-virus software, and requires no configuring by the user. For those who want to create more access to their network, the 2Wire software allows more advanced users that flexibility also. It is capable of WEP and WPA encryption modes.

Pros:
- cheap
- easy to install
- very reliable
Cons:
- only one Ethernet connection
- USB 1.1 not the faster 2.0
- 802.11b is too slow for those whose primary interest is streaming digital entertainment (music, videos, photos), need 802.11G, and probably 802.11N if wanting to stream Hi-Definition content
- Can probably get a 802.11g product from 2Wire or other manufacturer for about the same price and will need the extra speed to meet the future demands of Media rich content used at home or in the office.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good performance but doesn't support WPA2, February 12, 2009
By L. Lim (California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've had this modem/router for nearly 5 years, and its performance is very good. It has had intermittent problems with maintaining signal which required "rebooting" (i.e. disconnecting the power) on some occasions, but for the most part it is very reliable. It is able to detect many other neighborhood networks - not that it matters, since all these networks are secured.

My only complaint is that it only supports the inferior WEP encryption. WPA2 is not possible with this model.

5.0 out of 5 stars It just works!, August 25, 2006
By John Bales (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've had the 2Wire HomePortal 1000HW modem for nearly four years now. I've never had a problem with the modem. It stays connected 24/7/365 and I've only occassionally rebooted it (those times I suspect it was a DSL line problem and not the modem itself). This modem came with my SBC Yahoo (now AT&T Yahoo) DSL account and was free at the time. I'd definitely buy another one if I were in the market for a new DSL modem. One thing I want to mention is that I've never tried the wireless capabilities so I can't say how well it works but as a wired modem it's great. I also want to mention that the firewall feature is excellent.
