As you can clearly see this router has been packed with features and should be excellent to use in theory lets get it installed and see how it gets on Part-2 Installation
As this is a router you can connect it straight to the wan line (provider line) and set it up from there. I chose the over method for this test as I didn’t want to interfere with my setup I have at the moment, so I will connect the router to the setup I already have and test it from there Performance LOL it took a total of 5 minutes to integrate this into my current setup(I cant even get a wireless Lan card setup that fast) and it was now time to test the features plugging my newly acquired External USB HDD enclosures the device immediately finding them, with a few clicks of the mouse in the setting screen I soon had a network storage set up through ftp. I set this up to be a network storage facility, off to a great start. It was the same with the web cam my Logitech quick cam was detected and within minutes I had it set up to a ip, I absolutely loved this as I could now view the cam without any of the computers on nice. This can also be sent to motion detection which adds a security feature, For Example: I go out and my house is empty. All of a sudden I get an email notice on my P900 I view it, my cams been activated, using a web cam viewer on my phone I type in the ip of the camera and within a little while (you could do this from a work pc as well) I am viewing from the cam live images from my home. A very nice feature indeed. Also setup through the USB ports was my Cannon printer this was also detected and installed and I now had all the same features before except I now have 3 spare USB ports on my PC (needed them tbh constantly changing over things) and my pc doesn’t have to be on for any of the other computers to use them very nice indeed. After the results of this I connected up all my PC to the router and set up the QoS and set one computer to have main full bandwidth and gave the other 3 ½ meg each, the think I liked about this feature is it could be done in small 1kb increase or decreases as well as having settings for other software such as Kazza, MSN, Edonkey ect. Opps I nearly forgot the wireless connection works as well as one would expect from a 54mbps connection, I am sorry about forgetting about this I was two wrapped up in the over features, I should also mention here that if you don’t need the wireless connectivity OvisLink also make a wired version Conclusion To say I am very impressed is an understatement, this router has it all the fact that within a hour a had all my stuff set up and running through it was outstanding. The extra functions this has over most is amazing the best thing to say here is I am using it and I would not let anyone prize it from my hands great product with great functionalities my choice for a total solution.
