Members willsellout Posted December 16, 2007 Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 I have a lynksis router and a PC and my Mac and had no trouble setting up the system itself. I did have problems figuring out the whole password locking stuff but I got it figured it out. The lynksis will lock up every couple of days as well and I have to unplug and replug it back in to get the internet back. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan same here i think i should have spent more than $30 for a router but i guess this works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bikehorn Posted December 16, 2007 Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 Speaking from experience most Linksys routers aren't the greatest. The one exception is the WRT54G, which can be flashed with third party firmware that greatly increases its performance. Cheaping out on a router will just annoy you down the road. I've had the best luck with a couple of different D-Link routers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to reset it every couple weeks, but it works great:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the best luck with a couple of different D-Link routers. That's backwards... D-Link are the cheap ones that will annoy you, and Linksys are quality. Granted, everyone's results may vary, but Linksys is much more known to be quality. Glad you finally got it working, though. Routers can be a pain sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bluescout Posted December 17, 2007 Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 I think it was operator error... I'll second that. It's plainly obvious that the only thing greater in this world than Firefox is Macs. [/sarcasm] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bikehorn Posted December 17, 2007 Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 If you're bitter about your computing experiences in general, why not just come right out and say it? Accessing the config page of a router, especially a brand new one, has nothing to do with using Firefox, a Mac, or both at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm not bitter about computing experiences, I do it for a living. I'm just mildly annoyed by those that tout Macs as the solution to everything. On a more serious note, I've had a problem trying to configure a router with Firefox before as well. The buttons didn't work in the web admin interface.

The buttons didn't work in the web admin interface. I'm not one of those guys who calls them a solution for everything, because they aren't, but I am one of those guys who calls them a solution for a number of things...because in a lot of cases they can be. Teaching a non-computer type to use OS X usually is a lot easier for me than showing someone the ins and outs of maintaining an XP system. Most people who I explain how to scan for malware, viruses, etc tend not to retain that information, and they end up with the same problems I showed them how to prevent/deal with all over again. I figure if it's less possible for those problems to crop up, it's a win. Just my opinion, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
