SMC wireless g router for $17.99 NO REBATE

Hi, I need advice, do it come with dual AC voltage that support 110-240vac? Will the wireless router work with xbox360 online....?
 
i have had a SMC router (wired) for so many years, probably over 5 years... still working like a champ, but its now at my gf's house
 
Have a SMC router for the past 5+ years.....It still works great. I should upgrade this though since it only does 802.11b

Great build quality and easy to use. Lifetime warranty if you register it immediately after buying it.
 
before everybody jumps on this... be aware that the 10/100 ports are 1/2 duplex. This wont affect wireless transfers but wired transfers between computers will suffer because of this. Just a FYI
 
Got it, I'm using it now in fact. Very easy to set up, straight forward, and the wireless signal is OK. I walked around with my pda to compare, and without a doubt my D-LINK Di-624 is pumping out a stronger signal with further range, however, this SMC is certainly acceptable, I wandered through all 3 floors, and its still good.

Let me just say, this is one of the best 18 dollars I've spent, really happy. I love OTD prices. TWO THUMBS UP!
 
Got it yesterday and installed it today.

Internet setup took less then a minute and I was even surprised as it connected almost instantly with no need to reboot for most setting changes.

Wireless setup was also fast and easy.

I also got the USB which I think is even hotter (if not for the price) as I can connect it to any USB ready PC for wireless connectivity. I don't like that you need to use the included software for configuration. The software is great, but anybody know if it can be configured directly through windows?

The router has load of settings, the most I have seen in a router. The firewall works great without enabling ZoneAlarm (A secondary firewall, in the router?).

It has been running great for the past couple of hours. It is only slightly warm. The USB adapter is definitely very warm, nearly hot, hopefully it will not be a problem.

Overall a great buy for both products. Thanks
 
douglasb: Get a wrt54g and load openwrt on it. You'll be all set--- especially if they really are $30.99 like dragonlord2112 said.

how can you beat this price?

Why here at SMC we buy at extreme low prices and pass the savings on to you. Take this figure Karen is holding right now. It retails for $34.95 but with your membership here with SMC you can buy the same one for $4.95 and you keep the profit of $30!!!!!

We here at SMC have thousands upon thousands of items you can buy at wholesale prices and can sell at retail and YOU keep the profits!!

Im sorry everytime I see this thread and SMC I can help but keep thinking of the late night infomercial with the guy from Happy Days 😛

I just saw your post and was concerned about the half-duplex issue, however when I looked in the product manual under specifications it says, ".... 100/200 Mbps (100BASE-TX half/full duplex)" Just wanted to let you know.
