Good Secured Wireless Network Router (though have issue with print server).......2007-12-30
If you are looking for a router with the latest in security and simple set-up for a reasonable price... this is the router for you. It does what it's supposed to do... send a decent wireless signal, allow wired connections, and provide security against people using your network.
I have an issue with the Print server (did not work for the Dell Printer). Dell has not been able to resolve the issue if the issue lies with their software or otherwise.
Overall, I think this is a good router and has worked very well for me for the past two years. I give it a 5, even though the print server did not work for me. Provides what I need it for - wireless and network security!!!
A Pain toUse.......2007-12-28
I have owned this product for several months now. I have to go through a stupid step to use it. I was having a really hard time getting connected to the Web after I hooked up this router. I finally figured out a fool-proof way. I have to turn on my laptop and let it boot up. Then I have to walk over to the router and unplug it on the back of the unit and wait about 30 seconds. I then plug it back in. After a minute or two of waiting, I then get my wireless connection to the Web. How dumb! I should have returned it, but waited too long (guess I was hoping for a miracle). If I buy another router, it won't be this brand.
Usefull but not perfect.......2007-12-26
I purchased the USR5461 router to set up a wireless connection a PC located in another room from the cable modem. I installed a USR5417 PCI card in the PC. Installation of both the card and the router were straight forward and the wireless networking came up painlessly. However, early on I had trouble maintaining the connection so I downloaded a new driver for the PCI card and that fixed the issue of dropped connections. I get 54Mb connection routinely but cannot get the 125 Mb MaxG rate.
The primary reason I chose this router is for the built-in print server. I wanted to print from the PC to the HP printer in my wife's office where the cable modem resides. While I successfully installed the printer on both computers and printed from each, the print server would hang in the middle of most print jobs. The only way to clear it was to power cycle the router. I'm investigating newer printer drivers but so far nothing has helped.
Bottom line is: OK networking but poor print server preformance.
Good Router.......2007-12-07
I think this Router is like other ones. Not so goog for me. 2 or 3 times a week i need to power off the router because it doesn't give internet access.
Great buy for the price and features.......2007-11-30
This router does everything it describes.
The USB printer setup was very easy and it works flawlessly.
The wireless connection is very fast to connect.
The range is pretty good.
The one option I miss with this one is the ability to assign a DNS within the router configuration. You have to use windows network options to set them locally instead of setting one in the router. This would have been helpful since my ISP's DNS's are terrible and when people visit and connect I have to walk them through the process to avoid the "page not found" that charter frequently sticks you with.
I bought 2 of these - one for me and one for my in-laws and both of them have performed great.
Amazon.com Product Description
Combining an innovative slider design with an impressive set of multimedia features, the sleek Motorola RIZR V3 fits in with your fast-moving digital life with a dash of style and a full range of T-Mobile services (including MyFaves). It's packed with all the latest mobile technology, including a 2-megapixel camera (with video capture capability), stereo Bluetooth compatibility, voice-activated calling, photo caller ID, and instant messaging via Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, or ICQ. Other features include a 20 MB memory, expansion via MicroSD memory cards, and up to 3 hours of talk time. Available exclusively from T-Mobile, it communicates over GSM/GPRS and EDGE networks. This model comes in rose with a soft-touch finish, but it's also available in cosmic blue.
The sleekly designed RIZR V3 slides upward to reveal the phone's keypad. Virtually all the phones functions can be accessed via the five-way controller on the slider and function buttons on the side. |
Sliding it open reveals a surprise--an artfully abstract tattoo. |
Click this image to see a map of all the RIZR V3's function buttons. |
The RIZR V3 features an ultra smooth slider, where you can push on a bar located under the screen to open the spring-loaded sliding top portion of the phone. Once slid upward, the phone's easy-to-use standard keypad is revealed--which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy--as well as an abstract tattoo on the reverse side. A large 176 x 220 color display with 262,000 colors is included at the top of the slider. You won't have to constantly slide the phone open to access controls, thanks to most of the controls for the phones features and on-screen accessed via the five-way center button on the handset's upper slider. The RIZR V3 also includes a full range of function buttons on the side (including keys for voice commands, activating the camera, and menu selection).
Built into the phone's back is a 2-megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom and LED flash. |
Hidden behind the RIZR V3's eye-catching design is a powerful digital camera that features an LED flash, an 8x zoom, brightness control, full-screen viewfinder, and a night mode. You can choose to shoot in four sizes--2 megapixel, 1.3 megapixel, 640x80 pixels, and 320x240 pixels--as well as choose from three quality settings. Other camera features include a multishot option, an adjustable exposure setting, a self-timer, six color effects, five lighting choices, and five shutter sounds (plus a silent option). In addition to still photos, the RIZR V3 can capture video clips with sound (in two resolutions--176 x 144 pixels and 128 x 96 pixels). Videos can be shot for as long as you have available memory, while videos meant for MMS messaging are capped at 6 seconds (T-Mobile messaging charges apply).
The phone is capable of MPEG4 video playback when you receive a video message, or if you upload video to the phone via USB or Bluetooth. The RIZR Z3 also supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress up the phone to suit your fancy.
The RIZR Z3 also offers a full-featured digital audio player, compatible with MP3, AAC, AAC+, and eAAC+ (enhanced) files. Music files are stored on optional MicroSD memory cards, which can be transferred from your PC via USB or Bluetooth wireless connectivity. And because the phone supports the A2DP Bluetooth stereo profile, you can wireless stream music to compatible Bluetooth-enabled stereo headphones, enabling completely untethered music enjoyment.
Instant messaging is also supported--enabling communication via Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, or ICQ--and the phone ships with a built-in email client. The RIZR also comes stock with a built-in web browser for t-zones downloads and mobile web browsing. T-Mobile's t-Zones service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more.
The RIZR Z3's internal phone book can hold up to six phone numbers and three addresses per entry, while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that lets you mix your own ringtones. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear, and it includes a vibrating alert for those times when discretion is required. Because the RIZR Z3 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation. And the RIZR's voice dialing feature makes calling family, friends, and business associates as easy as saying their names.
Other calling features include compatibility with T-Mobile's myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network, even landlines--without using any of your minutes. Learn more about myFaves.
iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users. With its Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be easily used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs for high-speed data transfer over the supported EDGE network.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the RIZR Z3 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar and an alarm clock. Use the phone's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or connect to a computer or hand-held device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, and it can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC.

Customer Reviews:
Not ready for sale.......2007-11-22
This phone was released before it was ready. Every week or so, the phone screen goes white and resets itself. It happens randomly and as far as I can tell is not linked to a specific action. I have exchanged this phone 2 times. So I have had 3 of these phones, and all 3 have had this problem. Unfortunately I did not first see it until the 15th day, 1 day after I could have returned the phone in the state I reside. No one at T-Mobile knows what the problem is, and they pretend not to know the problem exists even though I have read reviews in many places complaining of this problem (after I had the problem and looked for soln, which I have not found). Motorola quality control has obviously gone downhill. In summary, don't buy this phone.
Ok, for a Slider, O SO SLOW.......2007-11-09
I received my Rizr z3 as an upgrade from the Samsung Trace (which, with a few drawbacks, I LOVED). The screen size is very comparable to the Trace, but compared to the Trace the display is archaic & pixel-y. While photos are captured more quickly than the Trace, the quality of the photos isn't quite as good. The body is solid, the Z3 has a pretty comfy hand feel, although it is much more bulky than my sleek Trace. The slider function is smooth & solid compared to other slider phones. Text messaging is easy, the auto memory quickly picks up new & frequently used words and practically texts by itself.
The biggest drawback is the SO SO SLOW processor. After pushing a button it will think for a minute, then begin the command. This is especially noticeable on infrequently used commands, photo albums, & music files. For photo viewing it takes a long time to actually pull up the photo album list. Then the Z3 will display pictures slowly, one at a time on the list, pausing to think after one picture is displayed. Not only is this frustrating, but browsing an entire photo album to locate one picture takes forever. Motorola should have added an automatic sub-folder feature for ease of organization.
Personally, I don't have the patience to wait for this phone to think while it processes my commands in photo albums, music, even the phone book. It is excruciatingly frustrating trying to locate one picture for a wallpaper or to text to a friend. I would not recommend this phone unless you are extremely patient, or enjoy slow torture.
Great phone but t-mobile has poor customer service.......2007-10-19
I had this phone. It worked great for 3 months. Then I dropped it. Be careful because the screen is easily breakable. It did everything I wanted and more. It is perfectly clear, no echos and the speakerphone is pretty loud and clear. I like the myfavs feature; it save me a lot of money. The one thing that is horrible is customer service throught T-mobile. If you want to get this phone go through another cell phone provider. T-mobile will not give me customer service at all because I bought this phone from the internet. The insurance claim is taking way too long almost a month. I really miss this phone. The camera is clear and the video is really good. It comes with a usb cable to upload to your computer. So far I have not be able to get it to work but I think it is because I needed an extra card in the phone? (a memory card?). I really wish I could have this phone with another provider.
Great music and video phone with Perfect sound.......2007-09-13
Installed bigger microSD memory and connected USB cable. I can see "video" and "audio" folder inside of "Mobile" folder, and then put mp3 files or mp4 video files into each folder. I can create play list and short cut from the menu. In case of video, I use "Total Video Converter" to downsize the image into "320x240" on mp4. It provides full screen view with wide screen. You don't need IPOD or other MP3/MP4 protable media player.
The honeymoon is over.......2007-08-13
At first I was in love with this phone. The text messaging system is awesome, the screen is nice and big with a good picture quality, and the size is an advantage. It also can be very loud if need be, although that wears the battery down rather quickly. It also has the advantage of having a USB port for a charger, which makes the likelihood of having a friend with the same charger higher. HOWEVER, it's small sliding size makes it a little bit fragile. After having this seemingly perfect phone for two and a half months, it is doing some weird things. First, it loses service extremely easily, which it did not do at first. That wouldn't be so bad if the screen didn't also go white whenever this happened. Whenever it whites out like that, I can't do anything; I can't look at pictures, or my numbers, and if I'm working on a textmessage, it gets lost and not saved to drafts. It happens all the time. Obviously this is extremely annoying, and it would seem that the phone is either badly designed, or broken. I have not been unusually rough on this phone, so I don't believe that it should be broken so early on in it's lifespan. My best guess is that the rizer is a problem prone phone, and I would think twice about buying one if I were you.
