Customer Reviews:

works, print server is slow.......2007-06-10

yes, it's a router. the print server is very slow, don't expect hp jetdirect performance, maybe 1/3 the throughput.

Returned product after one day.......2005-01-15

I bought this router to make my internet connection more reliable. It went down three time in the first day (I wrote a longer review here but lost it when it went down the third time).

I did call SMC technical support which is available 24x7. They had me set the link speed/duplex from Auto-detect to 10mbs/half duplex. This did not fix the problem. She told me I needed to keep rebooting the router. I'm sure the router has been much more stable because others have given this five stars but I can't trust the uptime on this box and based on my one star experience.

A very good router.......2004-07-22

After doing an entensive research on routers, I decided to buy SMC7004ABR. It's a very good router and very easy to install. I have two computers (will build the third one later) and all of them have network adapter card installed previously. All I need to do is to connect my PCs to SMC7004ABR router.

Later, I connect this router to a DSL modem. After some settings, all my computers can access the Internet through router.

I recommand SMC7004ABR to everyone who is looking for a good router.

it goes strong after 3 years of use.......2004-07-06

I have nothing much to say about this little hard-wired router
SMC should keep producing this product
the most impressed part is stability
almost no disconnect/hanging with verizon DSL
the print server works fine as well
the only gripe is a little bit slow with UDP, no big deal
SMC has made some masterpieces
this router
SMC 2804WBR (grey version, not silver one), this one REALLY HAS SUPER RANGE with appropriate antenna, better than MS MN700, both "624" so-called Super G

hoorah, SMC!

SMC X 3.......2004-04-07

Bought the 7004 ABR when an ISP promised that they would supply a broadband connection. Well that was 18 months ago and it didn't happen. Just got cable so I hook-up the router, it came out of the box DOA. Called customer support they shipped out a new one...although I purchased it 18 months prior the replacement was "no-charge". Customer support was easy to contact. The replacement router with print server work great. Nice doing business with companies that stand behind their products.
