This review is from: Cisco-Linksys BEFW11P1 EtherFast Wireless Access Point + Cable/DSL Router with PrintServerI purchased this product 5 months ago, and after 2 returns I am trying to get my money back. In case you have any doubt whether to buy this product call Linksys sales (number available on their web site). I just talked a sales representative who says he doesn't recommend the BEFW11P1. It is a hybrid product and is not updated anymore. He says buy a separate Wireless AP/Router and print server. He recommended the BEFW11S4. If you want to understand the real pain of buying this product, here are the gorey details:4/19 - 5/8: traded mails with Jennifer Cambay (12 mails total). She stopped answering 4/29. Sent 2 mails to ... that weren't answered.5/13: Talked to Ricky. He approved an exchange. RMA #RH010152366/12: Talked to William who gave more suggestions that didn't work6/21 Talked to technical support again. Second exchange approved. RMA #XH011213597/9 Talked to Jason. Called customer service to check status of exchange. Explained they are having shipping system problems. Should ship in next few days.7/18 Called customer service again.

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys BEFW11P1 EtherFast Wireless Access Point + Cable/DSL Router with PrintServerI just received the BEFW11P1 wireless router on July 23, 2001. Installation was pretty straight forward. I just followed the instructions. My setup is a desktop PC with CAT5 ethernet, Dell Inspiron 8000 with Dell truemobile 1150 wifi card, & Hawking 5 port hub.Everything works as advertised, except, when I try to move large amounts of data the router locks up and no computer can network (wired & wireless). I have to unplug the router for a few seconds and it will work again.There is a firmware patch on the linksys site. I haven't yet tried it.As for the range, I have used it indoors 50 ft away with 3 walls in between, I still can get about 1Mbps....
This review is from: Cisco-Linksys BEFW11P1 EtherFast Wireless Access Point + Cable/DSL Router with PrintServerLinksys makes great stuff, except this product has a critical design flaw. I buy Linksys products for my office, so this product seemed like a home-run.BUt, I spent 40 days, and 3 shippments, trying to get the router to not lock up. The bug is with its wireless port. It freezes up.Take my advice. Don't buy this. Go buy a SMC or DLINK instead....
