Supporting NAT, the Barricade g can provide simultaneous Internet access for up to 253 PCs using a single purchased IP address. To manage these connections, the Barricade g has a built-in DHCP server to auto-assign IP addresses to devices on your network. To install this device, simply place the EZ 3-Click Installation Wizard CD into your CD-ROM drive and in minutes you will be surfing the web. By using the web-based management interface, you can configure this router to handle IP routing and port forwarding through the Virtual Server option.

Extremely Poor Support.......2006-06-20
Avoid SMC at any expense.
case melted, does not work with multifunction printer.......2006-01-09
As others have said the connection frequently drops
And the printer does not work for the HP Officejet K80 multifunction printer. There is no information on the packaging to say it does not work with MF printers.
I will upgarde with to a Lynksys I think
puke!.......2005-05-04
Cons: EXTREMELY flakey/unstable.
Like many reviewers, I owned the previous model. Completely stable, worked without any intervention. Always. Upgraded to this model and I've had trouble with peer2peer (router locks up with too much traffic, which was a problem with previous models). I've had trouble with wireless (router locks up with WPA or drops connections randomly). The only reason I've kept it and not gone back to an earlier model is laziness. This is changing now, as I've spent enough wasted time on these silly problems.
Don't buy!
I'm finished with SMC.......2005-05-01
Then came time to try the wireless part. It didn't work. Not even with an SMC wireless card in the PC. I tried to set it up with WEP/WPA encryption. No go. It was WEP only or WPA only. That eventually stopped working. I had it running for a few days with no encryption. That stopped working too. Now it works for only a minute or so after being shut off for a couple of days.
I called tech support (in India). I had updated the firmware twice, hoping that would fix the problem. Tech support wanted me to try an older version of the firmware - never mind that the router hardly worked from day one with the original version. But whatever. They would e-mail it to me. The e-mail never arrived.
At this point, I'm giving up on SMC. I've had enough of the poor documentation and dealing with tech support to try to cure via firmware a problem that is, in all likelihood, in the hardware. It works great as a wired router, and I'll probably hang on to it for that, but that's it. No more SMC.
Nothing but trouble - too bad..........2005-05-01
There's a major problem here that appears to be deep in the WiFi radio components. After numerous attempts at trying different versions of firmware at the request of SMC tech support folks, I gave up and asked for an exchange to the older design of the SMC2804WBR (I had owned the original product in this line previously).
I received the SMC2804WBR, plugged it in, configured my desired security settings, and haven't had to touch it since! My two laptops connect to it instantly and stay connected. "Set it and forget it" is what I expect of this type of device and is finally what I got.
SMC's customer service is fine - too bad they have to deal with the SMC2804WBRP-G.
Summary: Avoid the SMC2804WBRP-G! If it had been the first SMC product I had ever bought, it would definitely have been the last.
