Memory-Network and more all in one
Review of Eye-Fi Explore - network adapter by greekmiss

Advantages: Labels automatically - wireless
Disadvantages: can be troublesome during first use

...a similar product named the Eye-Fi memory card. Eye-Fi also provides this memory card called the Eye-Fi Explore that offers a little extra bonus feature from the plain Eye-Fi network card. You pay about $30 more for it - totalling about $130. This product is an SD-Card that works on pretty much any digital camera that takes SD-Cards for memory, which allows you to not only store pictures to it but wirelessly move pictures and video from your camera ...
...The difference between the normal Eye-Fi network card and the Explore card is that the Explore card has the capability of automatically adding geographic location labels to your photos. Now there are some issues with this card but not much. The card doesn't seem to work very well with Kodak cameras - and the company knows this. The company tech support will try to work with you if you have the card and a Kodak camera but can't do too much to resolve ... Read review

Review of Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G2 - wireless router by rhumbo062302

Advantages: many
Disadvantages: none for me

...version of the routers which linksys by cisco manufactured it served me well with past 3 yrs. that i had been using it. It was then that i decided to upgrade this to newer version that would still be in G standard since my sister has a laptop that also runs in G so i thought of having a router that runs in G as well so that it would be compatible so i bought a wrt54g2 router which is a newer version of routers that runs in G basically having this ...

Great for Security
Review of NETGEAR WGR614L Open Source Wireless-G Router - wireless router by darkestraven

Advantages: built in firewall, networking ability, wireless/hardwired
Disadvantages: some dead zones in basement

The Netgear router is the best router that I have had to date. I had previously went through 2 different routers before I had purchased this one, and let me say I should have purchased this one first. It has four ports in the back so that you can connect up to four computers on it and has wireless capabilities which I also use on it. I have 3 of my computers connected to it for networking and it works beautifully with relatively no signal problems. ...
...private (with a password to protect it) so everyone cannot access it which I find to be a great feature. Also the wireless function is good, but not the best. I can go to almost any place in my house with my laptop and it will be connected until I go into my basement where there is little if any connection. This model has a built in firewall to it which is another reason I got this router and it is a great feature. I would recommend this router for ... Read review

Great Buy!!
Review of NETGEAR WG511 Wireless-G PC Card - network adapter by jennmw

Advantages: Hasn't failed yet! (knock on wood)
Disadvantages: not many included directions

...heard some negative things about netgear cards how they always go in and out, etc but I have been pleasantly surprised. Setup took me about a day because I had no clue what I was doing and was trying to look up info on our desktop internet to find out what I was doing wrong. There were not many directions that came in the box. I have been set up now for over a year and couldn't be happier. I have never had to reset it and have never had any problems. ... Read review

All wireless internet users be warned!
Review of TRENDnet TEW 631BRP - wireless router by darkmentor28

Advantages: Only close range works fine
Disadvantages: Cheap wide range, pathetic draft-n connection, reboots

I have tested this wireless router thoroughly and came with my conclusion -- It is official junk! For a lot of reasons, for a near $100 Wireless-N router with the specs that it offers does not meet up well. One of the biggest issues with it is range. I have tested a Linksys notebook wireless adapter first to test how far the range goes. Distance from 10 to 20 ft was good. Now going about past that I notice the signal started falling off and then ...
...you the truth. Now if I did the same with a Linksys WRT54G or Range Booster I would have signal no problems. Don't let the three antennas full you. In this day and age it is hard to find a good and great Wireless N router regardless the brand. The draft-N feature of this router is a big joke! The biased remark that claims to say it has great range in many rooms doesn't even come close. So there is a few things wrong with this router. It's those ... Read review
