Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The ENR1504 Router has been a very good product to use and is easy to set up. I originally had a SMC 7004ABR router. I like how the new router allows me to open up ports (port mapping) so that I can get different applications to work through the router. The 7004ABR supposedly allowed ports to be opened, but the applications sometimes did not work with the change.
A major feature of the ENR1504 is the included Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) feature of the Uniden router. The router uses SPI to examine each packet to make sure that the packet is legitimate. SPI is a definite improvement over my previous 7004ABR router.
I also like the addition of Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). UPnP is "a networking architecture that provides compatibility among computers, networking equipment, software and peripherals."-ENR1504 Owner's Manual
UPnP helps applications steer around the Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT is used to allow multiple computers to access the Internet from one internet protocol (IP) address. NAT can sometimes cause problems because applications are usually not built to go through a NAT device easily.
Tech Support is friendly and helpful. About early March, I had a problem when the router stopped working. I tried working with the Uniden Tech Support to get the problem fixed. After a lot of help by Tech Support staff in trying to get the router fixed, I had to RMA the unit back to Uniden. About two weeks later, I received the fixed ENR1504. The Uniden router has worked ever since.
My advice is to always get reviews on any networking or computer product from places such as Practically Networked, Epinions, or just typing the product's name and adding the word 'review' into a search engine. The same advice goes for any product you are buying from looking up the VIN number on a car to see the car's history to buying a good DVD player.
I think it is also a good idea to be on the lookout for good deals on products you buy, such as going to Deal News or another comparison-shopping site.
