Wireless Router Woes
A few months ago I bought a Safecom SWAMR-54108 Wireless Router and made attempts to set it up but without success, so I put it back in its box and forgot about it.
At first I went straight in to the wireless option but I've now had another go using only the LAN and USB options.
I get warnings that there is 'Limited or no connectivity' and 'Socket error #10065. No route to host'.
Doing a search on the former reveals a large number of references to a false positive, whilst Internet access is unrestricted. In this instance the warning would appear to be accurate.
As far as the 'Socket error' message is concerned, I'm no further forward.
I'm inclined to give it up as a bad job and try with another box. I've been looking at a Linksys WAG54GS which, I am assured, only takes one push of a button to set up. Having downloaded the manual of 108 pages I find a comprehensive trouble shooting section so I view the manufacturer's claim with some scepticism.
So, to the point........
(1) Has anyone out there had similar problems with the Safecom box and successfully overcome them?
(2) Is it known if the Linksys box lives up to its maker's claims?
Thanks in advance,
