LG AN-WF100 Wi-Fi USB Adaptor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This USB Adapter is amazingly simple to install and has been operating flawlessly on my 2010 LG 42" LED HDTV (42LE5400) ever since I installed it 6 weeks ago. It simply plugs in like any other USB Adapter on the back of the TV. Please note that it is not supported by older LG HDTV models (I suggest to check the LG website for specifics).
To get it operational:
Once plugged into the USB port of the HDTV, I needed to first setup the wireless access point on the HDTV (LG's owner's manual says exactly what to do, following on-screen menu selections), then unlock my network via the router and follow the router's software instructions for adding a new network device (I run a 802.11n wireless network using Cisco's "WRT160N" router with WPA2 encryption and manage the network using Cisco's "Network Magic Pro" software). Once the router recognized the USB Adapter as a new device, simply using the remote control of the HDTV to select the correct Network SSID and enter the Network Passphrase (a.k.a. "Security Key") was all that it took to get it running (after locking the network again on the router side).
All in all, it took less than 15 min to get this working on the first try. I have been streaming Netflix videos flawlessly with this wireless connection using the LG HDTV "NETCAST" connection to Netflix.
One thing I didn't realize at the time of the purchase is that this adapter will NOT give you full internet access as one might easily assume or expect. I believe this is really a limitation of the HDTV's, not this USB Adapter, as the HDTV's don't come with full internet browser capabilities yet. It 'only' allows for wireless use of LG's select (and few) "NETCAST" features, such as Netflix, Vudu, etc. (which it does excellently). Instead, I use a wirelessly connected laptop to get on the internet and then route it from my laptop to the HDTV (by way of a regular VGA cable for the video portion and a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable for audio), but again, this is not using this LG USB Adapter.
Apart from the shipping cost of $12.95 (which I found a bit steep for an adapter that weighs almost nothing), I'm very happy with the choice and can absolutely recommend it highly. It shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

LG-Nortel ELO WR100T 108Mbps 802.11g Wireless LAN/Firewall Access Point & 4-Port Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With the quick setup manual in hand and a computer with System 7, I had the WR100T up and running in minutes. The unit posses the capacity for multiple wired and wireless connections. Very nice indeed. The process for setting up a wired network is very straightforward especially with the Quick setup manual. On the other hand, the wireless network setup is made needlessly complex by the poor instructions in the full manual.
For wireless setup, I suggest you skip the full manual, at least for the first setup, after setting up the wired network (a requirement) select Home on the upper right corner's menu bar. That will bring up a menu on the left side of the screen. Select Home Network Settings and then Wireless. You will be provided a screen to enable wireless. Click on the enable box and then Save Selection. Your wireless network is now on and it's called LGNortel by default.
If you want a secure network then on the left side of the screen select Security, then Wireless, and finally Wireless Encryption. In the middle of the screen you will have a set of choices. For basic security select WEP Only and then Save Selection. Then back to the left menu select WEP and look to the center area of your screen for Key Entry Method, and select ASCI. Then below is an opportunity to enter a password (they call it a Key). First clear the default by clicking on the Clear button. Then in the Key 1 space enter no more than 5 asci characters. This will be your password/Key so choose wisely. Then select save settings and you are done.
That is it. Really easy!
