Microsoft Hardware Discontinues Broadband Networking Products | |

| Time: 14:14 EST/19:14 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

You heard it first here. "Microsoft Hardware recently decided to scale back its Broadband Networking Router and NIC business. Microsoft will continue selling their 802.11g products for the next several months through their existing partners and channels. The company will continue to support existing product with customer service and it will remain under warranty for the next two years. " The Xbox Adaper price hasn't changed; although the the Wireless G Desktop Kit (MN-700) has dropped to a bargain $50 from a MSRP of $150.00. | ||

1 ) There is definitely a web interface the best I have seen available on consumer routers...
2 ) You can definitely manually change your NAT routing tables Its a great product and an absolute steal at 50 bucks. Maybe once they sell out they will reconsider. |

| i beta tested the product, and thought it was head and shoulders above the competition. BUT, I did always wonder why MSFT would get into this business. |

I had the MN-700 Router for 2 days, and then had to take it back. I replaced it with the Linksys WRTG54S.
This was purchased as a back-up router while my business-class (well, that's what Netgear says anyway) FVS-318 gets sent in to get it's insatiable appetite for random reboots fixed. The MN-700 was a nice, if not simple, router but it had one fatal flaw (at least for me). It has problems with IPSEC tunnel pass-thru's. Particularly with CheckPoint SecureRemote/SecureClient. I think it's an MTU issue in the router, but since it's not adjustable in the MN-700 it doesn't really matter... And it definitely had a web management page. One another note, that (would have) been the third time I'd been abandoned by Microsoft when it comes to buying their hardware products. UltimateTV - Dead. SideWinder - Dead. Networking - Dead. Microsoft will sell me NO more hardware. They're dead to me. TL |

TL, I used the VPN setup you mentioned without any problems.
Oh well, doesn't really matter now. |
