I bought a Dynex DX-E401 to network 2 XP computers at home. Plugged in the power and ethernet cables and both computers were online. Didn't even have to use the install disc.
You can set your firewall, port forwarding, etc, via the browser, but I have a firewall in my modem, so I turned the router firewall off.
I did encounter a small problem with the password, but as another reviewer noted, just hold the reset 15-20 seconds to wipe the old password and reset to defaults.
The router has been running nearly 24/7 for a month without any problem.
I liked it so well, I recommended Dynex to a friend after they purchased a bad router of another brand name. Same "plug it in and go" ease with that one too.
 Bad purchase. February 27, 2008

After setting up this router, it would not connect to the internet. I, then decided to disconnect the router and try to connect directly through the modem, but I could not connect on the computer with which I had tried to set up the router, but I could with my other computer. Since I had bought the router from an "unauthorized" dealer, Dynex would not give any tech support. Dealer had no idea what to tell me, he was unfamiliar with Vista. I then contacted Dell who manufactured my computer. The tech at Dell could not resolve the problem, so he conferenced with me with my internet provider. The two of them could not work out the problem. Finally, I restored my computer to the settings from the day before, rebooted the computer and got my internet back. The router is now in my trashcan. Where it belongs, as far as I'm concerned!

Usually I don't purchase "no name" products, and Dynex is not very well known. I purchased this product in desperation - my brand new Linksys router stopped after 2 days of erratic work, and I was in the middle of urgent work and needed quick replacement. This was the only "other" brand available at local Best Buy store.
I was very positively surprised - it took me not more than 5 minutes to make this router working, virtually without any setup except defining the ISP type (dynamic). Works very well and stable.
Later I did some tweaking with firewall settings. Highly recommended.
WOW! Great item!!! June 13, 2007

I have a "180" result of the previous reviewer "Jeremiah".
This unit was bought is Fall 2006 to replace an major name brand unit.
It is a great value for a basic "wired" router!
I love this unit.
I even have a "BIN" back-up unit for whenever this
one dies.(I keep it plugged-in 24/7)
I have gone through many units of major name brand units and the
Dynex far surpasses them all.
I have 3 computers to share a DSL link. One PC is 80ft away; recommended
max length is 300ft for CAT 5/6 cable
Very easy to use.
