Summary: Complete Garbage becomes somewhat acceptable with tweaking
Review: Okay, I see that I'm swimming against the tide with this review, but I love my USR 8022. I do computer consulting and have installed about 8 of these. All have worked great. It has a excellent range (goes 3 floors away in my house), has a serial port (allowing it to use an external dial-up modem when my cable goes out), has a print server (which I use all the time, so it works for my Brother MFC), and has detachable antennas. IMO, this router is severly underrated. I have used the USR 8022 since it came out and find it to be rock solid. It has port forwarding, a firewall, and all the standard security options.One word of warning--use v3.1 of the firmware. That is what it ships with it currently. There is an upgrade to 4.2 but it is currently in beta. It works, but causes a printer problem for me, a line at the bottom of the page. So far as I can tell, the firmware cannot be rolled back to an older version. I have used new 802.11g routers from Dlink, Linksys, and Apple. The USR 8022 is my favorite among them. The only other option would be to try to go all 802.11g to get faster LAN speeds. This would cost you twice as much. You'd need to buy a seperate print server, and you'd loose the ability to attach an external dial-up modem to the router for a back-up connection. Because most people just care about Internet speeds, 802.11b is more than fast enough.

Summary: Poor Perfomance and Quality
Review: Received my first 8022 and it would work for 15 minutes then stop... Called USR and was told to send back... The second unit arrived (Thanks Amazon for the fast turn around) An it worked for hours at a time before locking up or slowing down to a crawl, and this was from a hard wired port! The wireless range was terrible. Using a laptop with a USR PCMCIA wireless card from 2 feet away only resulted in a 90% signal... Next room over barely worked... Avoid this one...

Summary: Caution Range is limited
Review: The USR8022 router worked in a home network with a laptop using a USR2210 PCMCIA card. However, the range is essentially limited to inside a single room. Moving the laptop outside the room requiring the signal to pass through a single gypsum wall with no insulation slowed down the system but it could still function at lower bandwidths. Moving further away to approximately 25 feet and 2 interior partions resulted in loss of function. USR email help merely tesponded by recommending I purchase additional antennas or repeaters. No general expectation of performance was provided although I requested whether my performance indicated a possible hardware failure. I believe anyone expecting to be able to have a system which allows a laptop to be taken out of a single small room which contains the base station router will be disappointed. This is likely to apply to short walls dividers in small bull pen style offices as well. A further note of caution is that the PCI adapter USR2016 will only function in newer computers meeting the PCI 2.2 specification.

Summary: a piece of s...
Review: This is my second buy from USR. This one has the same problem: drops connection when downloading big files (the same happened with the USR2249). Must reboot router before it works again. The support people are a bunch of idiots, don't answer your emails. It will go directly to trash can. DONT'T BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS GUYS.

Summary: Unreliable
Review: This is one of the least reliable products that I have ever used. In its 22 Mbps / 256-bit WEP encryption mode (the major reason for my purchase of), my USR 8022 router can rarely be left unattended for extended periods of time (that is the point of wireless operation, isn't it?). Either the LAN operations of the router randomly go down (frequently) or the wireless operations go down (less frequently), while the WAN link is still maintained. USR's technical support was of no help. Their only suggestion was to hard-reset the router, which has never worked. My USR 8022 router apparently dislikes its brethren, too. In 22 Mbps / 256-bit WEP mode, the only wireless connection that I have been able to establish to the router is with a USR 2210 PC Card, using the card's original drivers. Updated unified drivers from USR's website do not work (on two different notebook computers and operating systems, mind you!). I have also been unable to establish a 22 Mbps / 256-bit WEP connection with the USR 2016 PCI network card.

Summary: The worst PC product I ever bought
Review: This the worst thing I ever had. The instruction is bad. It only has a "quick" start card with no details on how to setup some basic stuffs like configuring the router. The rest of the manual is in the CD.
The signal range is unacceptable!!!I have a "Wireless" router and adapter pair in my room and my PC adapter keep getting poor signal; if not no signal. My room is not big, the two devices are just 15 ft apart. ... Please avoid it at all cost.

Summary: fan of USR products, but not for the faint of heart
Review: Well, our family has been using USR since the late 80's with a Courier 2400 baud modem (2.4Kbps). Anyways, regarding the 8022, in my experience this device has been rock solid. First the negatives: 1) Only 2 LAN ports (plus 1 for WAN) which may be too few for some people; most other similar products have 4 or so. 2) User manual is sparse to be generous. 3) Doesn't stand vertically (if that matters to you...I just stack the things on top of it and it seems to work ok). 4) One OS's on one of my computers (the other OS on that computer is fine) doesn't like it as a router without some tweaking (which fixes it), but nowhere would you find how to do it if you didn't know how to do it already. These are the only reasons it didn't get a 5/5 in my experience.
For me, the USR8022 is currently is set up to be an access point (I prefer using my SMC wired router still for a few reasons, including the above negatives), with far superior signal quality and range than the Netgear MR814v2 I was using before (which, by the way, shares negative points 2 and 4 with the USR8022). My notebook uses a 3com 3CRSHPW196 and web-browses like it was wired (much better than Netgear); granted I am usually fairly close to the 8022, but it performs as one hopes equipment would perform. I have also used it conjunction with a USR2249 (access point configured to function as an access point client) and was able to transfer 700mb files successfully (win98se->winxp machine), which took significantly longer than on the wired network, but was still successful. I have not yet connected a printer to this device, but I have not had issues with it's predecessor the USR8011 in connecting printers. I'm sure in the future this 8022 will become a print server too. both my thumbs up to this product.
