 Good Entry Level Features and easy to setup. January 18, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
THE GOOD: This is a great product and easy to use right out of the box especially if you have a cable modem. DSL is pretty easy as well, but requires a few more steps. This is the perfect product for someone who is setting up their first wireless home network or does not require the advanced features of the router. I was up and running in about 5 minutes with P-330W.
WHY I PICKED THE P-330W:
Price and features! I made the switch from cable modem to SBC Yahoo DSL and needed something that supported PPPOE (point to point protocol over ethernet) something required by many DSL providers. I have a Linksys WRTG54 that have been using for a year and absolutely love (loved) until it came time to hook it up to DSL. For some reason it never kept a consistent internet connection and was constantly renewing it's IP address or was just in a disconnected state. After about 5 minutes of googling it was obviously I was in for a fight if I wanted to continue using the Linksys router. So I wanted to find an inexpensive router that had dynamic dns, pppoe, and port forwarding.
THE BAD: The only real complaint that I have about the router is that it has limited ability to forward many ports. It supports a few predefined services. You cannot add additional service ports. :(
OVERALL:
If you are a beginner and don't know what dynamic dns or port forwarding is, or have a very simple network: such as a network that is not running a web or FTP server; then this is a great product for the price.
If you are more experienced and have multiple services you are wanting to expose to the internet, then this is not the product for you.
****If you are looking for a router you can control and tinker with, I highly suggest the Linksys WRTG54, it runs on open source Linux and there are many many hacks you can do to it customize.

Good features, great price, one bug found July 26, 2005

This is one of the few devices I've found that can be a bridge (a wireless Ethernet device), an AP/Router, or a WISP router. And for the money, this is a great buy.
I had a problem making WPA work in client/bridge mode, but I found a workaround that I'll share:
There is a bug in the P-330W Wireless / Security screen. The WPA/WPA2 TKIP Passphrase field is not storing the passphrase correctly.
I can reproduce this 100% of the time.
WORKAROUND:
Avoid the Wireless / Security settings entirely
1. Click on P-330W Setup Wizard
2. at WAN Interface Setup, click Next
3. at Wireless Basic Settings, set the SSID for the AP of which you want this bridge to be a client, click Next
4. at Wireless Security Setup, choose the WPA(TKIP) method (I did not try the other two WPA methods, but this probably applies to any WPA method with a passphrase).
5. Click Finish
6. Click Wireless / Basic Settings
7. Set Mode to Client, click Save
With this issue resolved, I'm enjoying this device very much.
