Customer Reviews:

Great unit for behind the NAT Firewall.......2003-08-30

All I did was plug it in and turn it on. I read a thousand reviews and this unit showed promise, I was shocked at the ease of installation!! Once I was online I was able to configure it through my web browser... Done!!

I combined this with the Netgear - WAG511 on a WinXP laptop.

May stump some real beginners to the networking field as the documentation leaves a little to be desired. I am able to get a strong signal from my porch and every room in my house.

Recommendations, combine this with a multi protocol PC Card to ensure that you get a good signal, add powered entenna's to strengthen the signal, locate this within eye shot of your favorite seat for maximum performance and remember that the internet moves at a much slower rate than this connection at 28% throughput.

Easy to install... but be sure you have all that you need..........2003-01-15

It took me less than 10 minutes to get this up and running with my DSL line and my two remote pc's (one I installed the HA 311 PCI card, and the laptop with HA 501 cardbus). I have XP, and it was pretty much plug it in, and let it go to work. Then came the bad part... I couldn't network the two PC's, plus only one could use the DSL line at a time. So I did my reseach and found that you need a router/gateway to act as firewall (so you don't need to firewall the two pc's and thus they can network effectively) and to also allow simultaneous use of the DSL connection. I bought a Siemans 4 port router (circuit city 29.99 after a rebate) hooked it between the DSL and wireless access point and voila! Safety and shared DSL! All this extra work could have been saved had the product info on the Amazon site specified the need for a gateway/router... but I didn't find that out until I opened the box where in the manual it stated that you needed it for 'the recommended configuration'. It was still a good deal though, with the HE 102 Access Point costing less than ..., and the gateway ..., it was still cheaper than the NetGear HR 314 Wireless Router that performs both functions in one unit, but, sells for ... so I saved about ... bucks by accident. By the way, performance is great, though one site only gets 8Mbps throughput and a bit weaker signal, as my house has metal framing, but it is still waaay better that a 56k dialup!!! And I just love walking around the house with my laptop untethered, it is ever so cool.

Easy to use, still not up to 802.11b range though........2002-12-03

This system was EASY to install. Basically, you plug it in and it broadcasts. It's speed level is fantastic. However, I found that its range was not nearly as good as with my SMC 802.11b system.

I am still glad I bought this product, but it is shocking to me that the system doesn't always get good reception from but one room away (It works, but not always particularly well).

I should mention how the system works speedwise. It's speeds are significantly higher than the 802.11b, but there is more of a lag. So, you might go to a website, get a slight lag where nothing shows up on the page, and then boom... it all appears instantaneously. I am sure that some of this delay is because I've created another point for data to go through - I am using this system through my SMC barricade.

The Netgear HE102 does NOT have a firewall built into it, and so you should really should route this system through one for added security.

So, should you buy and use this? Yes and no, depending upon your set-up.

NO: If you live in a big home where you don't have to worry about outside disturbances (ie multiple microwave ovens and 2.4 gig phones.) In this situation go with 802.11b for the greater range at a lower price.

YES: If you need to move massive amounts of data though your network. 802.11a is MUCH faster when it works, and you do notice the difference with larger files.

YES: If you live in a high density area such as a condominium were you have to worry about interference from your neighbors. This netgear system will bypass most interference since it operates at a higher frequency, and the lessend range actually becomes an advantage since it means you are less likely to get interference from other 802.11a systems as well.

Not a Problem.......2002-11-14

I am writing this review from my second story bedroom about 50 feet or so from the access point. The speed is still great. Often better than what my company has through a T-1.

The set-up was very easy. One of the easiest installations I have ever had. It was not working at first, and just as I was ready to call Netgear I realized that I did not have the stupid cable modem plugged in to the access point. Once I plugged it in, I was rocking and rolling in literally seconds.

Another great Netgear product that meets expectations!.......2002-10-17

The HE102 is a great product that meets all of the expectations of 802.11a technology. Contrary to some other reviews here, this product does indeed work through walls, and work well! I am currently writing this on my laptop (with a netgear adapter) about 60 feet, one floor, and about 3 walls away. The utility shows about 18 MBPS transmit and 24 MBPS receive. Contrast that with the prior 802.11b system I also use that works at around 2-3 MBPS. The difference is that interference from our cordless phones do not kick off the signal randomly. Set up about 3 weeks ago and not one disconnect.

Ensure that you set up the infrastructure properly. The WAP setup screen defaults the NETID name to blank. Most adapters default to, oddly enough, "default". If you are having problems getting more that about 10 feet away, double check this.

InterAct Light Blaster.......2000-01-24

I have recently bought an InterAct Light Blaster only to find that it is not compatible with Namco games, which, in my opinion is a severe shortfall.

GREAT!.......1999-12-28

This Gun is a good starter for beginners at Shooter Games. I recommend it to young kids ages 8-12. It is light weight and very comfortable.

Customer Reviews:

Really annoying.......2004-03-15

It plays well, but it can really annoy you. The VCR plays some tapes well, but other tapes jump like crazy. These same types play just fine in our other VCR. Also, the DVD plays some DVDs. Others begin with a lot of jumping or skipping, when they play fine in our other player. Also, it has the habit of skipping ahead to the next chapter on DVDs. And the DVD player is EXTREMELY annoying. If a DVD is in the player when you turn it on, the DVD begins playing automatically and often won't let you stop it right away. Apparently, it didn't occur to the designer that perhaps I might want to play a video. Lastly, the remote is designed with only one fast-forward and one reverse button. You press them to skip back or ahead a chapter. To search, you have to hold down the same buttons. In short, it's really easy to skip to another chapter rather than search.

We've already decided that when we replace this unit, we're going to pound on it a few times before throwing it in the trash. I wouldn't even GIVE it to anyone.

So far so good..........2002-06-10

I haven't have it for very long, but so far I love it. The picture is great, and the sound is fabulous. The remote was a bit intimidating at first, but turned out to be fairly easy. I have not had any problem getting the remote to work smoothly as long as I remember to point it at the sensor. If I do that, it works great.
The only complaint that I have so far, is that the manual could have been put together in a more onganized manner. Flipping back and forth just to do one thing got to be more than a bit agravating.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase. So far, I recomend this product.

Jim.......2002-05-29

I have had this product almost a week. I really like it. I am concerned about the combo and quality issues. So far I really like it. The only complaint I have is that the remote is not very responsive. I have to push the buttons quite hard and sometimes multiple times before it takes.
