Product Review Summary: Buffalo Wireless Router Buffalo Technology WHR-HP-G54 Wireless-G MIMO Performance Router and Access Point. This router handles my needs fine. The reason it's not a five-star review is due to the extra cd included. The Air Navigator for Client Adapters, is for card that is not included with the wireless router. If you install this information complications can arise.
I attempted to three times to get the router up and running. With a failure to connect after three tries, I called the tech support line. The wait was short and the help great. The tech was with me for over an hour. He got me up and running and explained that they've been trying for over a year to get Buffalo to stop including the disk
I asking him about the following: "Widely supported by open source firmware, eg. OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato, X-Wrt, etc." Be very careful about following advice from experts, unless you are an expert yourself and understand the risks. If the firmware is change, it will void the warranty.
It's nice that experts offer suggestions, but it can be dangerous. Always check with the manufacture before you make changes.
Product Review Summary: Wonderful! This is the 4th one of these that I have bought. I really can't say much about the performance of the stock firmware, but lets be honest, most users don't buy these to run buffalo's version of the software. First thing when these come out of the box they get flashed with the tomato firmware. After that adding the wireless MAC addresses to them so they all talk in a mesh network using WPA works flawlessly. Set up really couldn't be easier. Follow the directions and you are on your way to have complete and total WIFI coverage where ever these wonderful routers hang out.
Product Review Summary: NOT Compatible With Some Routers... but they won't tell you which! I can't complain about the actual unit since I could not get it to even set up yet. It would help if Buffalo would have a list of routers that this unit is not compatible with instead of making me waste many hours of my time going nuts trying to figure out why in the hell it won't work. Tech support was at least easy to reach, but they were not much help in this instance, because again, if your product is not compatible with something as simple as a basic Verizon router then you need to SAY THIS. Many hours wasted, and now I have to drop money for another unit because I cannot set this up as an Access Point like they said you could.
Have a list of incompatible Routers OTHER than your own and save the customer the headache and major frustration of trying to figure out why in the hell something that should be simple to set up is taking years off my life. Thanks for wasting my time.
Also, how about including directions in the box instead of making me go find it on the web page.
Maybe once the second unit get's here I'll write another review, but for now my aggravation and frustration is giving this one star, and only because I can't give it none.
Product Review Summary: Works great with DD-WRT!!! I've bought several of these routers and they perform excellent with dd-wrt. Signal quality/strength is second to none. Great thing about this router is you also have the option of replacing the stock antenna with a higher gain directional if you desire. Buy with confidence as you will not find a better wireless "G" router. Period!
Product Review Summary: Easy! Bought to replace a Linksys that started requiring frequent updating. The Buffalo installed easily, works perfectly, and is much smaller. Hooked it up in less than 20 minutes and have forgotten all about it until asked to do this review.
