Mac OS X with this product? Forget it.
Started Feb 10, 2006
Strengths: Nice little box with pretty picture of product on it.
Weaknesses: Will not work with Macs unless you are a hacker/techie/mystic.
This is without question the lamest computer product I have ever had the misfortune to try. Absolutely nothing on the box or the enclosed materials tells you that this thing WILL NOT WORK with Macintosh computers.
Linksys' technical support is atrocious. I was on hold for more than an hour, then got some chippie who couldn't speak intelligible English. She didn't know there was a Mac OS X installer buried/hidden in the maze of folders on the CD, so she led me off to a Wellesley College Web site that had a five-year-old workaround for (get this) OS 8 and 9, except for 8.6. Rich. What century is this company doing business in?
So, I found the hidden installer and clicked it. Guess what? The installer wouldn't run because it couldn't find something called a "Bill of Materials". I am not making this up. So I downloaded the installer CD from the Web site, thinking maybe they'd added a fix after my unit shipped. Same result.
Cisco should be ashamed of this product, or clearly indicate on the packaging and the hype that it is Windows-only (unless you like wasting time trying to be an amateur hacker by staggering to some kind of crippled workaround).
