SMC EZ Cable/DSL Router 4-Port 10/100MBPS BroadBand...

Strengths: Easy to install and print server!

Weakness: Instructions didn't exactly match install.

This router was so easy to install. I believe anyone could use this product. It only took me 20 mins to install. There was no decrease in bandwidth at all. This is definitely a great buy for a novice or an expert.

SMC EZ Cable/DSL Router 4-Port 10/100MBPS BroadBand...

Strengths: Effortless to set up, throughput is very fast, firewall is Excellent, remote administration ready, shared printer ready, port setup was very easy.

Weakness: Serves only 4 clients. (Perfectly reasonable at it's price range).

This is a professional piece of hardware that does it all. Remote dialup admin and printer serving included. The only thing that makes it a "home" router is that it has only 4 outgoing ports. But, you can connect additional hubs to serve up to 252 additional clients. The included manual includes instructions on setting up TCP/IP and proxy settings using Microsoft 95, 98, 2K, etc. Works with Macs,...

SMC EZ Cable/DSL Router 4-Port 10/100MBPS BroadBand...

Strengths: Has print sharing, works well.

Weakness: Configuring open ports isn't super simple.

I bought this router instead of the linksys, because it had more features at a better price. Even though I don't use the printsharing feature that often it is nice to have. I did have some trouble using the printsharing in Photoshop, it would print 1/4 of my picture then give a connection error. I also had some problem configuring the router for use with IRC. I needed to open a port for identd, I...

SMC EZ Cable/DSL Router 4-Port 10/100MBPS BroadBand...

Strengths: EASY setup! Priced right. Print Server and Comm Port.

The Print Server and Serial - RS-232 port clinched the sale for me. I only have dial-up right now, so that Comm Port was critical for connecting our external modem. With the print server, you aren't dependent on having a second PC powered up to access your shared printer. Rebates are frequently available, so try tracking those down before purchasing. SMC has excellent support. Buy this beauty...

SMC EZ Cable/DSL Router 4-Port 10/100MBPS BroadBand...

Strengths: Easy to setup, almost plug and play.

Weakness: Router will hang sometimes, have to reset it.

I bought the router because it had a $50 rebate on it. Plus it had the printer sharing which I don't use now but might come in handy in the future.
