FLAWLESS.......2006-03-24
It's really a snap installing the kit. You only need to know your ISP information which is basically username and password along with type of connection and just follow a short set of instructions.
Once product is installed it has great coverage; even for the price. I can be the farthest away in the house, from the router, and it still works great! I recommend this kit as a solution for those of you who have an older model laptop without the built in wireless card. I shopped around for the same model around and nothing comes close to the price i got.
Excellent deal!
Can't go wrong with Linksys :).......2006-03-14
I worship Linksys, I'm in the networking field and I love the reliability and support of Linksys. The feature set is rich, and the devices are built solid. As always, thanks Linksys for another great product, and thanks to AMAZON for AMAZING prices!

Does the job when its working.......2006-03-10
Have to reset it alot which means unplugging it for a few minutes and plug it back in. No reset button. Other than that it is ok. Going to buy a new one and keep this as a backup. Not sure if I would have bought it having known this.
Very easy to setup and use!.......2006-03-09
The router was extremely easy to setup. Linksys even has this new tool that will automatically setup the router and any other devices for you. I have not had any problems with dropped connections. I'm 100% satisfied. I recommend the router and card to anyone, as both work great and are extremely easy to setup.

I love this remote.......2007-11-27
I got it for $10 and with all the bad reviews I figured it was worth a shot. Well I found that it didn't have the codes for all of my devices, but with a little bit of effort I was able to program the individual buttons to the device. It's now my primary remote. That said, I definitely wouldn't pay a whole lot for this remote. It does take a bit of effort to set up and if you don't have a computer near the TV then programming this can be inconvenient.
Amazing Remote, Great Value!.......2007-10-20
Read all the reviews, but for $21, said WTH and was prepared for the worst. Loaded the software on the laptop in front of the TV, gathered up all the remotes. Except for 1 remote, Onkyo HTS, RM-AX1400 had the codes. However, on the Sony DVD player, only the basic functions worked and I ended up assigning around 10 keys. It took about an hour to set up all the functions but afterwards, I was a happy camper. Xpress functions are awesome, I love the ability to customize macros endlessly.
I suppose for those without the original remote, things would not go as easily. My wife doesn't appreciate it, of course, but it's a guy thing. Overall, extremely satisfied with the product. As some have mentioned, it is a lot bigger than most remotes, but not unruly,and it feels like an expensive product.
Stymied, but hopeful.......2007-09-30
I bought this item last night and tried to program it and it's a nightmare. The software is more difficult to use than Logitech's. I was going to return it tonight after work by the Philips touch screen model, but no one sells it around me. Anyway, I called Sony Tech SUpport and they assured me that they can help me this evening over the phone. Also, Chrisell's review is just about the most helpful review I've ever seen posted anywhere about anything. Even if Sony can't help me, Chrisell provided enough information that I think I can get it working. I'll post again after I see what happens tonight.
Best for the money.......2007-08-14
I bought this remote after reading all of the reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere on the net. The two biggest beefs seem to be the 'almost impossible to use software' and how the remote doesn't feel good in your hand.
After I received this remote, I installed the software(very small program), connected my remote via the included USB cable, and within 15 minutes I had it almost perfectly configured to work with my Yamaha receiver, DVD player, Sony TV, and satellite receiver. It took an additional 10 minutes to program the buttons that were missed by the wizard. I am not a software engineer by any means.
IMO holding the remote feels just fine. It doesn't cut into my hands, and it's not oblong or difficult to hold. In fact, the remote feels like quality to me. It isn't light like the cheapy remote that came with my TV. It has a heft that speaks to its quality construction. My wife loves this thing.
I'm thinking this is one of those 'deep' products that turns a lot of folks off. The manual is not color-coded and you do have to have at least a rudimentary understanding of what a learning universal remote is. If you are willing to take some time and understand the software, you'll find there is very little this remote can't do. In fact, if you aren't scared of editing XML, you'll find this remote is among the most configurable ones out there!
The only and I mean ONLY negative thing I can think to mention is Sony's choice to use small buttons for the up, down, left, and right navigation cross. These buttons are essential when surfing satellite TV and I would have liked to have had larger buttons.
Bottom line is I couldn't find a better remote under $50.
Great remote, if you have the right instructions [included below]........2007-07-08
Folks,
I was very concerned about this remote because of all the bad reviews, but after reading the reviews on epinions, it showed me how to use this remote better than the manual could. I can now recommend this remote.
This remote has an XML back-end which is really an amazing step forward in technology and very customizable; and with a bit of patience and clear instructions, this remote delivers very well.
Before you discount this remote from the other negative reviews, read this detailed review BELOW which helped me:

by chrisell
To program the unit, the software wizard steps you through a learning process. I'm told that it works quite well if it actually recognises your old remote. To do this, it will ask for a certain button to be pressed - play, power, something like that. Then it searches it's available preset device list for a matching code and configures the remote to match. Only it doesn't always work. Actually in my case, it didn't work for any of the 4 remotes I wanted to teach it. I'm not sure why but maybe if I'd installed the firmware update first, it would have been different.
Given that it couldn't find any of my devices, I had to do each one by hand. A bit laborious, but not too bad, and I had 100% success rate when doing it manually. Basically, the software steps through all the keys it thinks you'd want to use for the type of device you're programming, and asks you to fire your old remote at the new one so it can learn the infra-red code. At the end of this you have a roughly-configured set of keys. I say roughly, because this is where the fun starts if you're a tinkerer like me. Once you get to the 'advanced' settings, you can pretty much make this thing do anything. All the buttons in the advanced view are colour-coded to let you know if they've got a predetermined code on them, a learned code or an alias to another key elsewhere in the remote. Keys that don't have a colour assigned to them are blank and waiting to be used.
The process of manually learning codes from the advanced screen is a bit odd and the helpfile is bloody useless (you'll find that comment about this remote in ALL the reviews). Knowing how these reviews get propagated around the internet, I thought a quick how-to might be worth including here:
From the advanced screen, click the button for the device you want to customise and click "Edit Buttons". The software brings up a picture of the remote. Click the button you want to learn a code for and then click "Edit Actions". This is where the helpfile falls apart but it's actually pretty easy. On the 'Edit actions' screen there's another 'learn' button right at the bottom - click it and go through a manual learn process for that one button and voila - done.
The 'Edit actions' screen is also where the real power of the RM-AX1400 comes into play because here you can assign aliases to any other key already programmed and add delays. You can also stack up codes, aliases and delays together - effectively ANY key on the remote can become a macro. Clever, and nice for the technically-minded, but this precise feature is why this remote might not be great for the people who just want to pick it up and go.
There's been a little discussion here and there on the remote forums about the Jump function of this remote. Simply put, it just changed the display and remote key functions. So for example if you want to create a macro to watch a movie, you can power on your DVD, power on the receiver, power on the TV, set the receiver to the DVD input and then Jump the remote to the DVD settings. It's a nice touch and it means that when you hit the "movie" macro, everything turns on and the remote ensures it's in DVD mode when the macro is complete.
Most of the keys that you program can be assigned a name that shows up in the middle line of the OLED display when you push the button. One thing that's a little irritating is that by default, only the outer two of the soft buttons can be programmed for any device, and by default, they have their labels set to POWER and INPUT. There's no way to change this in the software, however, if you're not afraid of a little XML programming, your remote's configuration is all stored in an XML file called urmgui.xml. The way to manually override the default labels is to set everything up the way you want it, then assign some easily-identifiable name to the softkey you want to rename, like "ZZZZ1". Save the file out of the software and then open up the XML file in a text editor and search for "ZZZZ1". You'll find an XML button definition with two labels. The first label is the 6-character softkey label - the one that defaults to "POWER" or "INPUT". The second label is the name you can enter that shows up in the middle line of the display - in this case "ZZZZ1". Change both to be what you want and you're done.
Why all this detail? Well my projector, for example, has a power button on the remote that turns the projector on. But to turn it off, you need to push the button, wait a moment for the confirmation on the screen, then push it again. So I assigned the two soft keys so that one was "power on" which issued the remote code once, the other was "power off" which issued it twice with a half-second delay in between (using the advanced editor functions). The problem was that one label said "POWER" and the other said "INPUT" so I changed them in the XML file to say "PWRON" and "PWROFF".
So apart from all the nauseating technical detail, what's it like to use? Well apart from the slightly odd form factor which makes it a bit clunky for smaller hands, it's a delight to use in a darkened room to control a home theatre system. All the buttons are logically placed, and a user-configurable beep lets you know you've pushed the button and it's sent the remote code. The buttons have a slightly squishy sensation to them but I prefer this to the horrible 'click' on the Harmony remotes. Unlike the Logitech Harmony remotes that have a weird delay on the volume controls, I can press and hold the volume controls on the Sony and my receiver smoothly ramps the volume up and down - something I could never get my Harmony remote to do. A couple of the buttons you'd expect to be illuminated, aren't, which is a bit of a mystery. Like the 'menu' button. Fortunately, it's placed right next to the arrow keys so it's easy to memorise its location, and that in essence is what makes this remote so nice for me - hard buttons. I don't need to look at the remote to know where the keys are. Philips Prontos are all very nice, but you always have to look at the screen to see what the buttons do. With the Sony, it's like a well-laid out TV remote, even if it is a bit brick-like.
One last feature worth mentioning - the software has a backup facility which stores a binary dump of your remote on to your PC for safekeeping. So if you're messing around with the software and screw everything up, you can restore the backup and start again.
So would I recommend this? I answered 'yes' to the epinions question and gave it 4/5 stars. It drops one star because my 'yes' answer really only applies for people who are technologically savvy and willing to give this remote the time it deserves to get the most out of it. Honestly if you want a "plug'n'play" type remote, you'd probably be better off looking elsewhere.
