I am a rep for the site. Please let me know if you have any issues as this is a new coupon system.

Edit it appears the new coupon system requires you to be registered (logged in) before purchase to get discount. Apoligise for any inconvinience.

  • Indeed it is ugly. Wouldn't want to be looking at that every day. :P

    • Hehehe, Well you could put it under your desk or build a server room for it :)

  • Can I use it to connect my DVD player with an ethernet port wirelessly to my Wireless modem?
    I mean, I place the router close to my DVD player, and connect the two using an ethernet cable, and then router connects to my modem, all without my having to use a 10 metre ethernet cable (Patch Cable).
    Thanks,

    • No you cannot. This is a wired router, so you will still need to run wires in between. What you need is a Ethernet-to-wireless bridge for your dvd player so it can connect using wireless.

  • Do not touch this router with a barge pole! It is easy enough to setup but unless you plan on doing a bit of websurfing and not much else it is completely substandard. Locks up under very little load and Open Networks do not give refunds.

    If you want a router with VPN get a Linksys WRT54GL for $65-70 and flash it with DD-WRT VPN Firmware. The 54GL does not have the serial fall back to dial up or ISDN however if you specifically need that look at the D-Link 800 series which is a much better option.

    • OPEN Networks wouldn't give refunds unless you bought it directly from them. Seems like you got one that wasn't working. It comes with a 12 month warranty, so it would be replaced if anything wrong.

      • The unit I had was not broken. It was the unit itself that was and is sub par. The price of $40 is quite good given they used to be $179 a couple of years ago. The only thing this thing may (and I use the word may advisedly) be suitable for is sharing a 56k modem connection thus saving you having to use Windows Internet Connection Sharing.

        For anything else, especially something like VPN, this unit does not present value. When you can get a Linksys WRT54GL for $65-70, flash it with DD-WRT VPN and live happily ever after this Open 524R should rightly be EOS/EOL.

  • Thanks guys for the advice,
    Cheers
