You can connect up to 25 devices on any given phone number. With the HomeLink Phoneline Network Card, you will instantly transform the home's telephone wiring into an easily expandable network.

Secure alternative to wireless.......2004-01-07

Easy install, very reliable. Most of the wireless networks I've encountered are absolutely insecure. They don't have to be, but the users stop short of implementing encryption and MAC address filtering. For those people, this is a safer alternative. Almost as convenient as wireless but without the risk. Phoneline networking doesn't suffer from interference of walls, ceilings, wiring, etc. either. I've used both wireless and phoneline. If I can't have Cat-5 cabling, give me a phoneline network. You can use these cards with the Linksys HPNA router, which serves the HPNA network as well as conventional 10/100 Ethernet concurrently.

Watch out!.......2003-11-28

This card is really great...if you know what it can and can't do.

I used to be pretty (...)at these, but then fiddled with the phone wires and (for reasons that continue to elude my comprehension) all of a sudden they're basically 100% reliable.

My beef with these things is no longer reliability (which was horrible until the fiddling mentioned above), but compatability. I haven't done any definitive research on this particular subject, but these use the same technology as DSL, so it could either not work or have to share bandwidth with the connection. That's one thing (I'm sure they've got some sort of compromise), but my real issue is with lack of OS support. I'm screwed with Linux, and that's something I hope to get more involved in the house-hold. (it's really great, search for Red Hat Linux 9, (...))

In summary, for a Windows-only network without DSL (do your research if you've got it, I guess) it's ok, but check out PowerLine networking instead. Linksys has got some PowerLine stuff, and, other than the issues with this particular product, I think Linksys is a really good company.

Blue Screen Of Death.......2002-05-16

I picked up a pair of these to run a simple network to another floor in our house. I already have a multi-tiered fast ethernet network, and this was just to put one computer in one room on the uppermost floor. I installed one in the computer to go upstairs and it worked like a charm with ethernet-like speeds (actually HPNA 10M cards can push 15-20 Mbps in good conditions, so I'm not suprised). The one I put in the ICS (internet connection sharing) computer to allow the upstairs computer to use the file server and print server downstairs would blue screen the ICS machine within five minuite of bootup, every time. Removing the card resolved the issue, even though the drivers were still installed.

Trying to isolate the issue, realizing that placing the card in a different machine would do the same thing, it was resolved by placing it in a different computer wired to the ethernet infrastructure, but it would bluescreen after every day or two (running Windows 2000). Rats, no dice, so I had to return the card.

Before returning it, however, I did call up Linksys technical support and after explaining that I am qualified on NT and 2000 Server operating systems, they sent me to the right person right away. As it turns out, there is an issue with this card running on i8xx series of chipsets with Windows NT, 2000 or XP. Since these are 80% of the computers with Celeron or Pentium III processors, it would get one star. For working as well as it did when it was working, however, it gets two.

To sum it up, be careful and check the return policy when you purchase these. While I would purchase them again if I needed them and I was pretty sure they would work with no issue, currently there are too buggy. Go purchase someone else's HPNA 10M cards, they all use the same Broadcom chipset and so the performance is exactly the same. Now excuse me while I purchase a 3com.

Poor customer support........2001-06-23

Hi, I have one card installed in a gateway machine, and another USB homelink phoneline connected to the laptop. I was able to get this working in an hour. After a few months, the card connected to the gateway stoped responding, and it seems it had a hardware problem. I called up the linksys customer service about 5 times now, and they were not able to issue me a RMI number to get this card replaced. I later got another card for a cheaper rate to use until I get this replaced if possible. If you buy this, you are on your own.. dont expect any customer support.

Works Fine-- Some Problems With Win 95 Driver.......2001-05-27

Small office, 3 machines linked on one phone line (which is also fax line), 2 Win98s, 1 Win95. Hardest to set up with Win95. For some reason driver did not seem to want to load. I had to completely uninstall network components and reinstall, then install driver manually. Worked after that. Think it was a comflict with a Bios setting but never confirmed it.

Customer Reviews:

I should have brought this sooner..........2003-12-30

I've had this drive for a while. I brought it to replace a dead Toshiba drive(SD-M1502) which was pretty good while it lasted. But, it stopped reading DVDs. I should have noticed a problem when it couldn't read discs it played before...

Installing this drive took me less than 15 minutes, if you take away unplugging the computer, opening it up, and putting the cover back on. Just slide in the drive, screw it in place, plug in the cables, and you're set. You don't even have to install drivers! Windows detects it automatically.

When I powered up and used it I was pleasantly surprised. First off, it's quiet. I had to strain to hear it spin just to make sure it could read the discs. Well, it reads every disc it says it supports, and every movie I threw at it, slightly scratched or not! It even plays movies that my Toshiba choked on.

A positive benefit here is that this drive has upgradeable firmware. If Samsung releases a new version of it just go to their website, download, and install. It's a great thing to have because every now and then some compatibility issues might arise. They aren't very common though.

Pros:
1) Relatively new - released in 2003
2) Super-quiet
3) Upgradeable firmware
4) Reads DVD-RAM discs
5) Comes with PowerDVD XP
6) Huge buffer for smooth playback of DVD movies

Cons:
1) It takes a fraction of a second more to pick up the disc when it's inserted, but it's barely noticeable.
2) If you listen very very closely, you might hear a very quiet clicking sound when it's reading. Again, it's hardly noticeable, and it doesn't deter from enjoying something like a movie.

I consider this one of the best DVD-ROM drives out there right now. Comparably, the Lite-On drives are good as well, but there are some annoyances like spinning-up noise and such. The newer Toshiba drives are good too, but they have a speed lock for watching DVD movies, so the picture tends to stutter.

For this drive, Samsung took the best attributes and put them together. It's very inexpensive for all the work it does, it supports reading DVD-RAM discs, it has no spinning-up noises, and a 512KB buffer. If you're looking for a stable replacement that's sure to last for quite a while, this drive is the winner.

great dvd drive.......2003-10-13

This is so nice. It has amazing seek time and is friendly with scratched cds. it came with power dvd and i was watching movies with 5.1 surround sound in no time.

Poor Performance.......2005-11-10

I'm getting very poor performance when I plug these units into outlets in different rooms (presumably on different circuits).

In the same room, the Configuration Utility shows throughput of 14 Mbps. In different rooms, it shows 0.9 Mbps.

These results render this product useless. To make matters worse, the SMC e-mail support has been unresponsive.

If you buy this, make sure you can return it if you get lousy results.

Short range only.......2005-09-20

Plugged two into outlets spaced 4 feet apart, got a good signal. Plugged them into outlets on different floors, got a signal so weak that I couldn't get an IP address from the router. And that was only after I switched the positions of the two (I got no signal the first time). So these might work if your computers aren't too far apart, otherwise pass. Find units with higher transmission power (if they exist).

With the auto-talk feature turned on, you can answer calls simply by removing the phone from its cradle, and the flash/talk button lets you switch to an incoming call (requires subscription to a fee-based service) and put the current conversation on hold.

More than what I was looking for!.......2007-09-01

I bought these recently, after my three year old Panasonic died. We use Vonage, and I answer customer service calls from my home, so I needed multiple handsets with good sound quality. We got so much more! We love having one on each of our floors. The base is in the basement, the third handset in the bedroom on the top floor, and there are no dead spots or sound fading, like we had with the old one. I love that the phones are intercoms--works wonderfully with my kids in the basement instead of them yelling up the stairs. I can also listen in on what they are doing, two floors up, so I know they aren't getting into trouble. The handsets are small, but fit nicely into my hand and aren't a problem. I use my headset with them for work and have had no trouble. The batteries came partly charged and charged easily, and seem to hold a charge pretty well. I also love the unique ring feature--now I know without checking caller id if its an important call (meaning a family member) or one I can get to later. Really a great phone set for the price!

Reliable.......2007-08-16

We switched to VOIP almost a year ago, and, as per the reviews we could find, this seemed like the most reliable phone system. We've had no problems so far, and the price, though not the lowest, is very reasonable.

One caveat--if there's a way to access the answering machine from any location, we haven't figured it out yet. And if not, that can be one of the next things Uniden works on.

Garbage, cheap, plastic garbage. Replaced 3 times!!!.......2007-07-15

This is the worst set of phones I ever owned. I had to ship three phones back to the warranty repair (at my cost). The phones will soon be out of warranty. I suppose that is why they give you a set of 4 phones. By the end of the year, you might have one left working. So, if you are interested in having 4 working phones, you better buy 12 of them!! Save your money. Buy Vtech instead.

Feature Rich!!.......2007-07-06

I bought this set for two friends over the holidays and they love them! I've used theirs many times and was impressed so I bought a set for myself. I have recommended it to many other friends since then. The amount of features in this set go on and on. Besides being a cordless phone it can also be used as a Room/Baby monitor as well as two-way radios away from home. You can also use the handsets as an intercom system in your home or to transfer the phone call between handsets. Most options are programable from any handset and you can listen/clear your messages from any handset. You can also copy your phonebook between handsets. And a handy little feature when you want to be left alone... one touch "Do Not Disturb" that will prevent any handset from ringing with an incoming call. This is just a few of the things that impressed me. The only thing that I noticed that may be a problem is that sometimes the caller sounds a little muffled. I'm not sure if that is a problem with this phone system or not tho.

Everything works just fine. Extensive choice of ring tones. Easy to program and use. A great value for your money.

MultiFRADs allow companies with multiple offices using separate routers, legacy data, and voice links to consolidate these communications lines into one frame relay link per office. For voice quality that rivals PSTN quality, the MultiFRAD provides voice/data prioritization, G.729, and other voice compression algorithms. The MultiFRAD voice models allow users to place calls from their desk phones and use standard dial tone, ring, and busy signals. The calling interface is so similar to existing PSTN or PBX calling procedures, little to no user training is required.
