"good platform for wireless and wired network connections"
"requires minimal skill to set up, configure, and maintain."
"does not require any additional software"
"manual explains the configuration well"

one uplink port, a firewall, and numerous advanced features"

Anon | After reading the good and bad reviews, I bit the bullet and ordered the BEFW11S4 and the WPC11. I flashed it to 1.37.2b and set it up with no problems (Other than the Router FW Upgrade Screen not working at even the lowest Java setting). I've been on it about 2 hrs now and all is well.

How much did Linksys pay them? As this Product (and I have had two different ones) does not work. Did they try to get any non-existent tech support? Did linksys test to find their one unit that works to send them, or did they buy it off the shelf like the poor suckers like me did?
Instead of trumpeting a product that has NEVER worked as advertised, you should spend your time answering my support e-mail, I have sent 6 now in 14 days, and have receive ZERO responses. I have had two defective units, had to drive an hour to CompUSA to exchange the first one, spent hours on hold over three support calls, got one callback long after I had gone home for the day. After all of this I am expected to pay for shipping the blue piece of junk back to linksys, for the honor of Beta testing something that would work just as well if I tore out half the electronics took a big brown dump in it, at least then it wouldn't suck any power. |

Anon |  The only joy I have had in owning this unit is that I have convinced more than 10 people to buy D-Link, and SMC units as opposed to Linksys. All have been very happy! |
