Installed it for a week, and left it running to give it a fair shake. It's long gone now. Why add another layer of confusion to the simple task of setting up a local network????

I set up an 802.11g network last night and it took me only 7 or 8 minutes, with WEP and a wireless printer. No trouble at all. I'd rather do it myself than spend $20, $40 or more to have software do it. That $40 could go towards a new iPod or something equally fun. I don’t get the fuss.

Today I set up a network in 5 MINUTES! Or rather I should say Network Magic did. Fantastic product. Five stars. Thanks, Alice!
