Pros
Stability, easy set-up, reduces the use of having Modem+Router by combining into one
Cons
Shared internet download rate
• • •

I have purchased this product (X2000) as a means of having better stability throughout the house for I have been having bottle necking and connection dropping interference, with my old modem, I'd have my ISP providers come change it and their products were low grade and kept having instability. Where the x2000 have met my standards as to remove the bottle necking and instability, I now have the major issue of my internet being dropped to about 1/4 of its original bandwidth, where I'm paying for 6mb/s. I am only receiving 2mb/s I have contacted the Live support and they have told me that it is sharing my download bandwidth throughout all my users, I tested it by disconnecting every user other than I and connecting myself via Ethernet directly to the x2000 and my bandwidth is still the same. I'm hoping to find a way around this issue and if its found this product (x2000) would be of much better reliability and get a higher rating.

I am unable to set up the X2000 V2 to link an ethernet connection to a wireless to establish a LAN between the two computers?

Pros
looks cool /easy set-up
Cons
worthless internal antennas
• • •

I purchased x2000 thinking wireless n was far superior to wireless g. It was not. Advertised to have greater wireless range than g,did not,internal antennas have very weak signal. El cheapo westell modem/wireless router with internal antenna had much stronger signal. On the plus side it was very easy to set up and get going. Would like to see this model with detatchable external antennas. I could have voided warranty and put ext ant kit on it ,but if it blew before warranty is up im out of luck.
