...as sold by Esquire. Anyone has any experience with these ? Looking to move my home network to "N" in the near future and the prices on the Intellinet stuff is pretty good. Current setup as follows :
Main adsl/router - Netgear DG834GT
Client Adapters - 2 x Linksys WUSB54G
AP (for wired Xbox connection, wireless link to Main) - Linksys WRT54G running dd-wrt

If the Intellinet stuff is any good, I'd like to go with
Intellinet Wireless 300N ADSL2+ modem/router (STK 524780)
Intellinet Wireless 300N USB adapter (STK 523974) x 2

The AP I'm currently not too sure of, as it would need a couple of (wired) LAN points as well.

If the verdict is negative , I'll revisit my options :) . A Netgear "N" solution is pretty costly though....I think ;)
 
Ok, so Esquire might as well stop selling the stuff....nobody is buying it :)

Hello Luke
actually we sell lots of networking products from Intellinet , we know that this is not SMC, D-Link, 3Com , Netgear, Etc but Intellinet products come from the company that manufacturers the Manhattan product range s and I have been to their factories in China and Head office in Tampa Florida USA and they do serious R&D before bringing out a product to market .

The products are designed for the price conscious market , so as the distributor of these products we have to practise what we preach and use the very same hardware on our server rooms , branches and at homes and never had issues with them.
 
So you will take back any of those intellinet products that are deemed to be off poor quality or not performing as they should with a full refund? Do you have that much confidence in them?

If I may say thanks for that on behalf of Luke too.

As mentioned I have picked up one or two concerns with my new router but I am yet to establish if it is something I have done or the hardware so I was hoping for answers on here before returning to Esquire. Not sure what is causing the disconnects and obviously would not expect you to know either. Let me see if some answers are forthcoming on here first before returning it to ask the questions.
 
Apparently this forum is not the best place to get technical answers (someone informed me of this) so I will use Google and report back to you about my issues, Esquire and Luke.
 
Well, for the price of a single Netgear N router, I can do adsl2 modem/router + broadband router (for access point) + 2 usb adapters. If it doesn't do the job, pricewise the damage isn't so bad. Can always sell the stuff to killa.....;) Might take a quick drive to Midrand tomorrow.

Ya dude as long as they back up their products and you can take them back should they not work. I am sure if they are confident about their stock that will be acceptable.
