Or you may call it as "InnaShit W3400V USELESS modem".
Can you ever imagine a modem that can block you (the owner) from accessing it?
Yes, even with the network cable connected.
This means you can do nothing to it, including port forwarding, DHCP, changing wireless password, SSID, etc.
Okay, not everyone have this problem. But majority of users complain this:
Even the wireless features is turned ON, laptops/mobile devices still cannot connect to it given the wireless password is correct. Sometimes you can't even find the SSID in wireless list.
This problem actually annoys me very much when I'm just started using it, I was thinking maybe something wrong with my settings, but it appeared to be not.
However this problem is getting better and better, at least now don't need to try 100 times before you can connect to it, 8 out of 10 it will connect automatically. Note that when the very first time, only 1 out of 10, else you need to try at least 10 times. (You have to wait between each try to get it appear on your wireless list.)
Missing UPNP and many other features... There are just too many to complain about this modem. Google it and you'll find a lot. To be honest, this is the worst modem I've ever seen. (I've used Aztech, D-Link, TP-Link...)
If Streamyx a.k.a Screamyx offers you, please, for god sake, ask for a change.
For current user, please throw it into the dustbin, break it hard before that.
It's just another product of Malaysia.
No offense.
Only has WEP and no WPA option. Which is great if your neighbours are using one....
ReplyDeleteReally? Didn't notice this. It make it more useless.. I threw it a long time ago after it got struck by thunder. :)
ReplyDeleteNot true. Go to Wireless/Security/Network Authentication. It is probably set to Open, which means WEP (it is mentioned below). This is a bit confusing. But when you select Open, there are many other options, including support for a Radius server. Just select WPA2 PSK.
ReplyDeleteNow I agree that this thing isn't exactly great. Actually it is far away from being great. But it could be worse.
