Summary: Excellent Wireless Router
Review: I bought the WR850g 6 months ago. The user's manual is well written, and it is easy to set up. The security options include WPA and mac address control. It has worked flawlessly with my OSX Powerbook and WinXP laptop. The security protocol set up is a little confusing, and the manual needs more examples. You should also check Motorola's website for firmware updates.

Summary: Excellent router!
Review: I replaced a Netgear WGR614 (which was a piece of junk) with this Motorola router. The Motorola ROCKS. I've had no problems at all with it, and it has better range and signal quality than the Netgear. I was walking around outside in my yard with my laptop...out to the street, and then back into the back yard. The signal was weaker outside than inside, but I never lost the signal.

Summary: Motorola WR850G
Review: I tried Belkin, Linksys and D-Link before a review of this router led me to purchase and try it. It is the best and easiest to set up. I was up and running in 10 minutes with a two minute call to their help line, which is open 24/7. Both my powerbook and thinkpad recognized the network immediately and I am typing this review in my kitchen which is over 60 feet from the router. Try this before you buy any other WI FI router and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Summary: A great little router
Review: I was skeptical of buying this router. Primarily because I couldn't find any reviews on it. But I like Motorola products. I decided to buy it. I must say that this router is great. It's small and stylish so it doesn't take up a lot of clutter. It has a lot of features such as port triggering and virtual servers and parental controls among all the other features you would expect from a wireless broadband router. It also includes WPA support with either TKIP or AES encryption.
I also get excellent signal and quality throughout my house. Too bad the other manufacturer's don't make routers as good as this one.
So if your looking for a stable router, you can't go wrong with the WR850G.

Summary: Great Gadget at a very good price
Review: Worth the money. Looks a whole lot better than the Linksys on my desk. Set up was easy.

Summary: Excellent decission
Review: Yes, i made an excellent decission. The router worked right out of the box with no problems. It's easy to install and you even get the UTP cable needed to plug the router in the PC. The only thing missing in this first step was the manual installation guide, that is supposed to be printed and it just wasnt there.
I tried to use the automatic installation but it just didnt work. And it also didnt say WHY my PC wasnt compatible, but i thought that was a mistake. So i read the pdf guide for manual installation and everything worked like a charm. One word of notice: i was expecting the router to connect to the internet right after pluging the router, but it doesnt work that way. You first need to configure it.
After everything was installed, i turned on my two wireless machines (one with a standard wireless nic) and they all connected with no problems.
I know motorola isnt known for its wireless broadband products, but it they really work perfectly well.
