Customer Buzz
I give this product 5 stars because it works pretty well. I give it -4 stars because it took 2.5 weeks to get it to work. I read all of the mixed reviews before ordering the BEFSR41 router, but my coworker assured me that this was the one to get. I was told that you just plug it in and it works.
When I received the thing from Amazon, I inserted the CD that it says to insert before doing anything else, and I followed the onscreen instructions. At the last step, where I assume the software configures the router, it gave the error message, "router not found." So, I repeated the instructions more than once but with the same end result. I'm not a network guy, so I didn't know how to make this thing work off the top of my head. I consulted my coworker who gave me a convoluted set of instructions, and I read a few forum posts whose solutions were vaguely comparable. After trying all these ideas, and after all the aggravation and frustration, the router still didn't work.
In the end (two and a half weeks later), I found another article that suggested something I hadn't tried yet. What finally made this thing work was getting into the web-browser interface where you can adjust the settings for the router, and simply clicking on the "Clone the PC's MAC address" button. After saving the settings, the thing began working like a champ.
So, that's what worked for me. From what I read, it could be different for other people, depending on the setup. I have 2 PCs and an Xbox 360 plugged into the router and everything works fine now. I'm surprised that a big company like Cisco would market a product that's so hard to make work. There isn't even a paper manual for the router. You have to explore the installation CD for the pdf manual. Who wants to read or flip back and forth through a 70 page document on their laptop? Maybe it's my fault that I didn't call support, but I didn't feel like getting the runaround, and I didn't want to go changing a bunch of settings on the PC to make the thing work. Overall, 1/5 stars.

Customer Buzz
We owned one of these routers for 4 years, and it was perfect. The item was easy to set up and never failed. We stopped using it only when we acquired a new IP provider that sent us a router and modem, all-in-one. Which, by the way, is not as good.

Linksys really makes a great product.

Customer Buzz
Product was suppose to be in excellent shape but wasn't. Seller did refund payment, but had difficult time contacting seller and have contacted seller since refund, but still no reply. Cannot return item if no address known to return. Plus product was not as described, so I lose shipping amount if I do return.

Customer Buzz
I'm attempting to put a dent in the ratings and persuade others not to buy this product. I've had 2 of these, replaced the initial one a year ago after talking to Linksys and determining that it had malfunctioned. I purchased a D-link EBR-2310 a month ago and after installing it (5 minutes) I haven't touched it. The second Linksys I had to reboot every few days, sometimes twice a day. My fastest internet speed tests were plus 10Mb, and after a day or so my bandwidth would degrade and come to a crawl (300Kb). It was so frustrating.

The Linksys wave has crashed, get on a different one. I've gone through 2 Access Points, 2 Range Extenders and now 2 Routers by Linksys. I'm fed up with their products.

Customer Buzz
I needed a switch so I can use my xbox without paying [...] bucks a semester to have internet to it through the campus. I couldn't use a router but in the title it said switch. So just to let everyone know this is a router not a switch as described in the title

Customer Buzz
I bought a Linksys 4-port wired router (Befsr41ver4.1) at the beginning of 07. Setup was a breeze, just plug it in and go literally. The utility disc that was enclosed didn't even work properly. You could get up to the point where it asked you to log in to the router and that was it, it would not take the pre-configured username and password. Warning sign #1. After about a year my wife and I were playing FFXI one night and it crashed the connection we couldn't get back on for days. After getting that taken care of the PC would connect through the router but the PS2 would not. I try to get to the router set-up page through my web browser like it tells me to, no luck can't navigate to it at all. Warning #2. I call Linksys customer support and find out I need to port forward and to even garner that much info I had to pay for a warrenty extension $29.95 out the window.

I send repeated E-mails to Square-Enix for the port numbers I need to configure, 16 days later and an all nighter to catch a live tech support rep becaues SE dont answer e-mails obviously. I get my numbers get on the phone with the support from Linksys, give them my case number and find out I have to pay an ADDITIONAL 29.95, extended warrenty only good for 15 days, they failed to mention that tidbit of important information.
6 hours later with the tech support and I get my router back online and all is right with the world.

That was 5 monthes ago as I'm writing this I am direct connect to my DSL modem that router fouled out again. I still cannot access the set-up page through my browser window. I call linksys and they want another 29.95 or I'm out of luck, I tell them to shov^ it. I will not reccomend this thing to anybody even though it lasted a over a year-ish its been nothing but trouble.

Customer Buzz
Extremely easy to set up. I had used a wireless router previously, but found I was sensitive to the radio waves (sounded like high-pitched buzzing) and bought this all-wired router instead. When I tried to unplug and replug the new router to further cut down on EMFs during the night, it had trouble reinitializing, but Linksys Tech Support was very helpful in setting up some custom, manual settings to prevent that problem. We are using it with one PC and two Macs, and have no issues with it now.

Customer Buzz
This product was a great price. Very easy to set-up and get going. Great purchase!!

Customer Buzz
The router was easy enough to set up. However, contacting a knowledgeable technical support rep when setting up my network with the Xbox 360 & LIVE services was not. The technical support dept. obviously has varrying degree's of knowledgeable personnel. After the THIRD time calling I had a rep who knew what to do to open the proper ports for use with Xbox LIVE services. Good product, but a crap shoot when you call for technical support.

Customer Buzz
I bought this wireless router for use with my RoadRunner cable services. I work from home and run a variety of network intensive tasks, throw in a wife and a Wii and this router has taken care of everything with only a minor quirk or two all year.

At home my network consists of CentOS 5.2 servers, a Windows Vista Home Premium Desktop, two Vista laptops (Business and Home Premium), a MacBook, a Windows XP machine, and Virtual Machines up the wazoo. The 4 ports are full, everything else is run through the wifi including the new Wii. I port forward HTTP, FTP, SSH, Oracle, and Terminal Services through to statically assigned IP addresses and everything else is making use of the routers DHCP services. In short -- I think it is getting a pretty good test!

Setup was a breeze, but that is standard for Linksys routers I have found. The instructions were clear and would allow an absolute idiot to set this up although I didn't need them being familiar with their other routers.

I live in a largish apartment, and rather than being in a central location the router is squirreled away in the corner office on top of a desktop and below my TV - not ideal I know but the coverage throughout the apartment is always at maximum strength, is as fast as can be expected and I am happy. I often play online games in my living room on the opposing side of the apartment without problems of laggyness.

I first turned on the router in July 2007. It is now November 2008 and it has been reset maybe four or five times during that period. Wi-Fi services disappeared forcing me to power off and on again however considering that this is a router based on home usage rather than a fully fledged commercial enterprise I can handle that. So yes, I don't get my 99.9999% uptime, but I think the five minutes this router has cost me over the last 16 months is rather trivial.

Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable

Product Description

Maximize gameplay with mind-blowing high-definition brilliance for VGA displays

Customer Buzz
I ordered these cables to use with my 21 inch LCD computer monitor and they worked really well. I received an Elite X-Box for Christmas so I gave my other X-Box 360 to my wife to use with the computer.

Customer Buzz
Well i have to say this is the best thing i ever have since, the rgb connector but i used a 22 inches monitor and a 19 inch and it works great on both of them
5/5 to me
the only pro is that only is vga and not dvi-i stuff xD

Customer Buzz
I was pleasantly surprised to find that along with the VGA cable they included and RCA-to-headphone adapter so you don't have to go buy one. They also included a VGA male/male adapter so you can attach multiple VGA cords together if the one they give you isn't long enough.

Can't go wrong purchasing the real deal from Xbox. Yeah, sometimes it's a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Customer Buzz
I originally had my Xbox 360 hooked up through component but my HDTV only has space for one component connection and I needed to hook up my cable box to it so I decided to purchase the VGA cable. I have an Olevia 232T and I think the image is clearer and brighter through the VGA cable than through component. I know some people complain about "wash-out" but I felt the image was much more vibrant and vivid through VGA. If you think the image is too bright, you can always turn down the brightness in the game. Great cable and great picture for the price!

Customer Buzz
This package came with everything I needed to use my desktop setup with my 360. the audio and video quality are excellent and it was easy to setup. The only complaint I have is that the cable is quite short at about 3' so if your speaker input is far away from your monitor it could be a problem. Other than that it's a great buy.

Customer Buzz
Like many people have commented, if you use a HD LCD TV with HDMI support, and have a 360 with the HDMI output, you don't need this.

I got a Samsung LN46A650 HD LCD tv on boxing day and had the composite cables with my 360 (non-HDMI capable). The picture was awesome for games, but I also have the HD DVD player and wanted 1080p as well as DVD upscaling (which composite won't do), so I got this cable from Future Shop.

The cable's box is misleading though, as it says it only supports up to 720p, which is not true anymore. This will give you non-HDMI people 1080p and also upconvert your DVD's.

There are no ghosting issues or colour washouts anymore as Microsoft has added some resolution settings to the Xbox to correct this.

Customer Buzz
I highly recommend this for anyone using a LCD Monitor as a screen. This is mainly intended for those seeking fast screen response times from their monitor, as the image undergoes little post-cable processing with the VGA hookup and if you set the resolution to the native display of your monitor, the picture will look great. If you're only interested in picture quality, and don't even know what screen lag is, then use HDMI or Component.

Customer Buzz
The cable is very nice. I'm able to play my 360 on the old VGA monitor I had in storage perfectly.
I'm very happy with the shipping. It arrived about a week after my order.
Price wasn't that bad, either.

Customer Buzz
I was so anxious to see the picture quality compared to my Samsung 52" 1080p DLP and Sony 42" LCD TV using HDMI connections. It took me a minute to install this cable and I must say the picture quality on the 21" LCD is no match for the Samsung and Sony. Picture quality on the Sony looked the best. Even though games don't look as good on the monitor, I will be leaving the xbox connected to it because it's more convenient for me. Maybe I'll get a PS3 to take advantage of the TV.

Customer Buzz
Xbox looks so much better on my HP 22" monitor with this cable than it did with component hookup to my Samsung DLP. Well worth the $15 IMO.

Logitech Harmony Xbox 360 Remote

Product Description

The Harmony 360 Remote Control for Xbox 360 is teh sure way to get more enjoyment out of your Xbox 360 and home entertainment system, without having to juggle a dozen remotes. Just connect the Harmony Remote to your computer and the Web wizard walks you step-by-step through a simple set up. It shows you how to set it up so that it's controlling your TV, DVD or clicking into game mode. Even the most complex home entertainment system is easy to control -- and best of all, you can do it without all the hassle of writing macros.

Customer Buzz
Everyone who's tried to watch TV, play Xbox 360, play Wii, watch a movie etc. at my house has complained about all the remotes. I've resisted getting a universal remote because the ones I've tried in the past never worked well enough for me to put the other remotes away. I've heard good things about Logitech's Harmony remotes, but they are kind of pricey. When I started streaming movies on my Xbox 360, I decided to check out the Harmony remotes again. Well for $69 the Harmony for Xbox 360 seemed perfect.

Setting it up was a breeze. It now controls these devices:
Mitsubishi TV, Pioneer AV Receiver, TiVo PVR, Motorola Digital Cable Box, Philips DVD player, and XBox 360. I added my Nintendo Wii, but unfortunately Nintendo uses bluetooth so the Harmony can't control it. On the plus side, I was able to create an "Activity" for playing Wii which changes the TV's video source properly.

Speaking of Activities, this feature works great. As you would expect choosing an activity like "Watch DVD", turns on the TV, makes sure it is on the right video source, turns on the AV receiver, makes sure it's on the right audio source, and turns on the DVD player. Each activity will have the right combination of buttons controlling the various devices correctly. For instance, after choosing the "Watch DVD" activity, the volume buttons control the AV receiver and the navigation buttons control the DVD player. Also, the LCD screen displays custom soft keys pertaining to watching DVDs (Eject, Chap+, Chap-, Zoom, Subtitle, Audio, etc).

The software works really well. After you enter your devices and choose the activities you want programmed, it walks you through updating the remote. Customizing devices, activities, buttons, etc. is really easy. The default activities work great, but I've been tweaking quite a bit. The software saves all of your configuring so if you have to replace or upgrade your remote you can just transfer your settings.

As you can tell, I really like this product. It has made my life so much easier (and visiting TV watchers happy too).

Customer Buzz
I was a bit hesitant purchasing a tech product that was originally released a couple years ago (2005/2006) but have been completely satisfied with it so far. This remote significantly simplifies my TV setup - eliminating the need to constantly switch between four different remotes for different functions.

I'm using it with a Samsung LN40A550 40" LCD, Samsung HTA100T DVD/speaker system, Comcast/Motorola 3412 DVR, and XBOX 360. This remote works perfectly with all of these. I'm love the ability to completely customize exactly what appears in the LCD options menu and the ability to reorder specific functions.

Bottom line: if you're looking at this product you've probably invested a significant amount of money in your home AV setup. Why not pay $70 bucks to make your devices work together seamlessly?

Customer Buzz
The guy who installed my TV recommended this and I wondered why he spoke so highly of a remote. I mean, it's just a remote, right? I could go on and on, sounding just like my installer, but instead I'll say you won't fully appreciate the Logitech remotes until you have one. They're very easy to program and customize and once you do, you hit one button and the thing does all the work, turning on all the gadgets that need to be turned on to watch TV, a DVD, play a video game, etc. -- and all the gadgets automatically flip to the correct settings so you're ready to go (example: your TV input automatically will jump to the DVD input for watching DVDs and the video game input for playing games). The remote also "learns" commands from your original remotes, meaning in most cases you'll be able to ditch all the other remotes and just use that for your home theater. It even controls my Apple TV.

Customer Buzz
Este si es un producto excelente, se pueden personalizar todos los botones. Permite agragar comandos con el control original. Si no esta la referencia de tu aparato el busca una referencia similar. lo recomiendo 100%

Customer Buzz
Highly recommended, super easy to use, controls all my devices(TV, HDDVD, receiver, 360, and cable box with PVR). Even those who are not electronics saavy will have no problems with remote. It's worth the $130 easy, but for $71.25 shipped you should not pass this one up.

Customer Buzz
Wonderful product, Once you sit down to go through the process of dialing everything in it works great. Amazon shipped fast...

Customer Buzz
I got the remote yesterday when I got home from work. aside from having to use a chainsaw to get into the package i have nothing but good things to say about this remote.

the instructions were easy to follow and it took about 15 mins to be up and running. i tested it out several times and the tv function wasnt working so i hit help and tried again and it worked. then the remote asked me if this fixed it. i said yes and it works perfect now.

When i replace my TV and DVD player and add a stereo i will reprogram the remote and now that i know how easy it is i wont second guess the process and it will only take about 2 mins to set up. it took the most time finding the model #'s on the products.

I have never spent more than $10 on a universal remote. but i decided it was time to take the plunge and get an expensive one, and man did i make the right choice with this remote.

I am on on-line shopper and this is the first review i have ever written on a product.

I LOVE THIS REMOTE!!! and hopefully, you will too.

Customer Buzz
This remote is awesome! I initially purchased it because I was tired of not being able to control my 360 and TV volume from the same remote. The harmony remote works great with our two 360s and has no issues going between them (they are in different rooms). Even better, I just set up my Roomba on the remote!

Would definitely recommend this remote, especially over the basic 360 remote.

Customer Buzz
I was able to get all but 3 items programmed with this remote. Otherwise, its a pretty powerful remote, and works as a Xbox 360 remote flawlessly. The 2 items...

1) I cannot seem to get the remote, when you change "activities", is to transform into the receiving activity remote - it gives you basic commands, but not the entire component's programmed commands...it takes switching to the component's remote setup - 2 extra buttons - this is for going from "Watch 360" and "Watch TV" - it should just switch to the component's programming, not the activity's programming

2) I cannot get the power on/off to hit only the two components I want it to

other than those 2, excellent remote at a great price.

Customer Buzz
I compared all the other harmony remotes before I bought this, but what really made the decision for me was that I have an Xbox 360 and I wanted a remote which took AA or AAA batteries so that I could use my Next Generation Remote Control Extender. For less than $100 I have been able to put together a formidable RF remote that can control every component (except my Wii). The Next Gen Extender works flawlessly with this remote, and I feel like I made the right choice. Here are some of the factors that went into my decision.

In my scenario, I had to have RF on my remote, because all my components are stashed in a closet out of range of IR.

I liked the interface and touchscreen of the Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote but it lacked RF, and there was no real way to turn it into a RF remote. The Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote Control (Black) (One's predecessor) was a little cheaper, but had the same RF limitation.

The Logitech Harmony 890 Advanced Universal Remote Control and Logitech Harmony 1000 Advanced Universal Remote (Silver) have RF, but at almost $300 that was more I wanted to spend on a remote. Especially the 890 which has been out for several years, and will likely be retired soon. The 1000 is just too big and clunky for my (and especially my wife's tastes).

The Logitech Harmony 550 Universal Remote and Logitech Harmony 520 Advanced Universal Remote - universal remote control ( 966191-0403 ) (close relatives of the xbox 360 remote) were both in the running, and would have worked with my RF extender; however since I have an Xbox 360 I decided to go with the 360 remote.

One of the things which always killed me about my previous "universal" remotes was that when the activity failed, I either had to dig through menus or have the original remote near to turn on/off a single component, or otherwise fix the step in the activity which failed. The "Help" button on the Logitech remote is a welcome feature, and has completely removed my need to keep the other remotes nearby.

I read reviews for other remotes that praised that the remote could be setup without a computer, and that the harmony remotes sucked because you had to use your computer. Really I don't know how you would customize something this complex on a 1 inch screen. I like the configuration utility. It has a wizard mode which gets the basic settings and activities setup, and then you can go back through and tweak/fine tune via the advanced settings.

The activities are easy to setup, and the wizard knows how to create the 4-5 that you will want to setup immediately. I especially like that my wife can watch a movie in surround sound without me having to show her how to turn on the receiver and change the inputs.

I was also a little worried about the XYAB button, because I read a review that I was giving up buttons that are on the other Harmony remotes. I didn't realize that for non-xbox activities/devices I can assign those buttons to whatever I want. I don't feel like I gave up anything.

In the end, I love this remote. It's the only universal remote I've owned which was really universal (except for the Wii).

Ear Force X1 Stereo Headset with Chat

Product Description

Ear Force X1 amplified headphones give serious gamers the ultimate competitive edge by combining Xbox Live chat and stereo game audio into an immersive sound experience.X1's integrated design overcomes the limitation of communicator headsets that block game sound from one Ear and eliminates voice chat interference caused by the headset microphone picking up sound from external speakers.Pump up the volume without disturbing friends, family or neighbors. HEar every nuance of the game - from an opponent sneaking up behind you to your teammate's voice right next to you.Trash talk online. Block out distractions. It's everything you need for an amazing gaming experience.

Customer Buzz
Great product! These headphones are great, very light, great sound and they don't hurt the ears after a long period of playing games, no sweat around the ears also. Great buy! They also work with the Ps3 as well, you just can't use the microphone.

Customer Buzz
I really like this headset, it makes the sounds so real, you can hear footsteps coming up behind you.

Customer Buzz
I bought this instead of the more expensive models as I didn't want to spend more than $50 on a headset. But you get what you pay for. It's very good quality for durability and sound. You can hear EVERYTHING on the map when you play games like Call of Duty or Left 4 Dead. There are a lot of wires but it's not enough to get in your way if you set it up right. My ONLY gripe with the headset is the bass can sometimes overwhelm the other sounds of the game so you have to tinker around with the volume of the game and the volume of the in game chatter. Everything else is good though. The set up is quick and painless unless you don't have a basic concept of english instructions... then you might have a tough time... but if that's the case then perhaps you should stick to a simpler game like hangman or tic tac toe.

Customer Buzz
This product is great! They are great for night time gaming when you don't want to disturb anyone else. The sound quality is amazing. They are extremely comfortable. The sound quality is so good that I am able to locate other players in Xbox Live games. I recommend this product to everyone!

Customer Buzz
I plugged these bad boys in and started playing a game with my user playlist in the background. These are a hell of a pair of headphones. The sound was crisp, the bass was lovely and I was immediately satisfied with my purchase. After that trial, I decided to play a game of Gears 2 Horde mode. I heard every blast, snarl, step, etc. from every angle, it felt like I was actually there. Amazing. On one of the levels I could even hear the frogs as if they were right next to me. I was going to get the X4's at first, but I'm happy I downgraded at the last minute and saved myself the $80. There are people complaining about a hiss noise, but like any pair of sneakers, that problem is easily solved by turning the volume down to a reasonable level. The only problem I see is that there are tons of cords, It's not a problem for me b/c of how I have my set up, but I can see how it would be a problem for others.

I recommend these headphones 100%

For gaming. For music listening. For life.

Customer Buzz

When this worked, it was a fine product. Unfortunately within the first year, my mic was giving me issues. I was always the guy on Live whose mic was giving everyone else static. Then just when the product was a year old the mic went out completely. Their customer service was helpful and sells a replacement part they say would probably fix the problem. The part is $5, but another $7 for shipping (for a tiny part that weighs a couple of ounces if that), and no guarantee that it will fix the problem. I might just go ahead and shop around for another headset with a better warranty, but they don't have much competition.

Customer Buzz
The product works and it really adds alot to your gaming experience.
There is a bit too much bass, but besides that it is an incredible replacement for the headset that comes with the xbox 360.

Customer Buzz
The headset is great but the people are TERRIBLE in their shipping time. It's the worst service I've ever had online. I ordered next day shipping and got it 2 weeks later and didn't get my shipping refunded. Seriously, buy from someone else who'll ship it on time and not when they feel and with the shipping speed they feel is right.

Customer Buzz
I bought these to use with my xbox 360 and loved them at first. Then I noticed that one side was cracking (thinner plastic part on side) and when I put them on, the part that was screwed together (see the pictue to see the screws) pulled apart and I couldn't wear them. I checked the other side and it was cracking in the same exact spot. I went to their website and checked out their warranty and was surprised that the "warranty" doesn't seem to cover anything at all. They lasted about 2 months. What a disappointment.

Customer Buzz
I was looking for a headset for night time gaming on Xbox live, and this seems to be the recommended model. The wire clutter was expected, but mind you, it has three cables (mic, sound, and USB for power) that are each 10 feet or so, so it could get a little crazy.

When plugged in there was a constant hissing sound even when I turn the volume down. As another reader suggested it could have been the controller design, or simply the poor materials chosen to build the electronics for this thing.

My biggest upset was with the chat feature for xbox live. Since the headset sports a great bass output, EVERYONE's voice turned into this deep mumble that did not resemble speech, even after I toyed with all the different possible settings (volume, headset vs. speaker output, etc...). I just could not understand a word that people were saying through Live. Needless to say I returned it.

In a brief summary, great sound through the headphones (although a little hissing), but the terrible way the chat voice is brought out makes this a no no for multiplayer gaming, which is why I bought it in the first place. I highly recommend trying it or buying it somewhere where returns are simple.
