1 out of 5 stars Poor Support - VOIP Issues   July 22, 2009

I will never by another HotBrick product. After numerous support calls to and hours and hours of downtime the issue was never resolved. They said they passed it on to a programmer to reivew the issue and he would contact me. I called back several times before giving up! Don't waste your time, but a Watchguard or SonicWall.


4 out of 5 stars Very reliable   September 6, 2008

If you need protection from your ISP bringin down your link this is a good device. I have cable and DSL due to my day trading. I can not afford to be without an internet connection. This device has been working reliable for many months. It is very easy to setup. One feature that is my favorite is the Dual DMZ. When you enable this feature you can login to your computers from the internet.





5 out of 5 stars Great Router - Better than Xincom, TONS of features   July 18, 2008

I know what I am doing with this router, I suspect that others do not. This thing is BULLET-PROOF, meaning it will get the job done - and you wont get too confused at the end of the day.

For the price, it is by far one of the best deals around.



4 out of 5 stars Works Great but complicated interface   March 26, 2007

i'm an IT major and this thing is hard to configure but works great with a firmware upgrade. the only way i could get ports open was to use UPNP by adding a custom virtual server. VPN works good too. I'm only one user so i don't know how it would work for a small-med. business but its perfect for home / small office use and dual connections.


1 out of 5 stars Wanted to like it but couldn't....   December 5, 2006

I had high hopes for this thing but was quickly crushed. I can't say for sure what the problem is other than there is one. Long story short, it will not stay running more than a few hours before it locks up. I have to unplug the unit to get it up and running again.

This isn't a good thing when you are hosting a few domains and e-mail for friends and have to keep going onsite to reboot the unit. It is wierd in that the lockup only occurs when people log in to access webmail. There is some specific string command for webmail that when passed though the LB-2, completely freaks it out and it locks up. So far Hotbrick has no explanation.
