Bought a PROLiNK Hurricane 6300G ADSL Wireless Router
I bought a new PROLiNK Hurricane 6300G ADSL Wireless Router last week on Saturday to use in my mother’s house. It is an 4-Port Ethernet ADSL2+ firewall router with 802.11g wireless access point. I bought this economical product is to replace a PROLiNK Hurricane 9000W ADSL Wireless Router.
You may wonder why I am doing so. I have used the PROLiNK Hurricane 9000W for 3 years plus. The reason behind this is I am facing a problem connecting to my office’s email and IM after a VPN is connected. The problem is solved once I deployed it.
This ADSL wireless router complies with worldwide ADSL standards. It supports downstream rates of up to 8Mbps with ADSL, 12 Mbps with ADSL2, 24Mbps with ADSL2+ and upstream rates of up to 1Mbps. With this technology, it is sufficient enough to cater for 5 years or more on the current pace of broadband advancement in my country.
With the integrated 802.11g 54Mbps wireless access point, it gives me an easy access and mobility to roam anywhere at home via the 5dbi antenna. It is also backward compatible with any existing 802.11b wireless client devices. PROLiNK Hurricane 6300G ADSL Wireless Router supports not only the Wireless Encryption Protocol but also Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) whereas the PROLiNK Hurricane 9000W ADSL Wireless Router only supports WEP.
The PROLiNK Hurricane 6300G ADSL Wireless Router has a built-in NAT firewall feature with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), Denial of Service (DoS) attacks prevention and packet filtering. It complies to Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and it support only DynDNS.com Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS). It also supports Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) for time synchonization, Domain Name System (DNS) relay, Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through, Dynamic Host Client Protocol (DHCP) and Simple Netwok Management Protocol (SNMP).
The web user interface provides a clean and easy management for users to install, configure and manage the wired and wireless network. Upgrading of firmware and romfile can be done via the web user interface easily.

Is it good? I prefer Linksys, Belkin. I got a Linksys router at home, but then because it’s a B network, it always get disconnected when I’m on torrent. Don’t know why. I need a N router, but too expensive.

abi, this unit is for my mum’s place and I am using Linksys for my place,
Nicholas, I am using Linksys WRT54GS wireless router at my home. The coverage is good. This PROLiNK wireless coverage is good too. Try not to open too much of connection per torrent. Wireless N router is still expensive. I would like to suggest you to buy a wireless router with two antenna and change to a 5dbi antenna. It will gives you good coverage,

Hi, i am also using Linksys WRT54G, but when i on my torent using Xunlei, my others computer can’t access internet. I think this is not due to the a network or N network, is because out BT client take too much bandwidth…..

Bro, does this unit comes with QoS. If yes try to use the QoS so your internet access and the torrent download not much affected.

dicky, reducing the “Global max connections” might help you. I set mine to 100. Limit the download and upload speed too.
simon, this unit doesn’t comes with QoS,

Hi there wing soon. Currently i’m using 6300g at my home. Yes , the coverage is very good as i’m living in double storey terrace , connected to the internet by using notebook at the 1st floor and the wireless router is at the 2nd floor.
But , i experienced that download rate by using wireless more slower compared to download rate by using RJ45 cable (connected to my pc). For example , i downloading a 100mb+ file from rapidshare only got about 60kbps download rate. If i try to download the same file by using wired , i can get almot 170kbps, sometimes it can reach 190kbps.
So , do you have any tips that you can share with me. And one more thing is , i can’t located any firmware for 6300g at prolink websites.
Thanks

nagakeciks, thanks for dropping by. Unfortunately, my 6300G has been decommissioned because it has been struck by lightning,
Regarding the speed, I did perform download from rapidshare.com and the speed is ok for me as well as transferring files.
