CDR King – Encore Wireless Router Review

Its been 2 months since I have purchased and used the Encore Wireless Router G (ENHWI-G2) from CDR – King. So far so good, no hints of impending problem at all. Sometimes the router is on round the clock, and it still works at its peak, no drop connections and whatnot.
In my opinion the range of the Encore Wireless Router G‘s signal is around 30 meters here at my place using its bundled 2dBi dipole antenna along with wall and room interferences.
I personally think that this router can still increase its capabilities if I would opt to replace its antenna with a longer one, also available on cdr – king or by using the Windsurfer Wifi – Booster.
As for me, I really got a bang for the buck by getting this wireless router from cdr – king. I got this Wireless G router for a whopping 1,380.00 PHP. Cheapest so far compared to other branded wireless routers such as D-Link and Linksys to name a few.
The only thing that can differentiate this router against the top brands is when it comes to quality. I am yet to find out if the quality of this router can be at par with the top networking hardware brands out there.
But for my opinion, I think this Encore Wireless Router G (ENHWI-G2) could go against the top brands since Encore itself is focused on networking products.
Please bear in mind that Encore is just being resold by CDR – King and is not manufactured by CDR – King itself. Matter of fact, CDR – King has its own version of Wireless Routers at a much cheaper prices ranging from 600.00 – 800.00 PHP
My verdict for this product – Bang for the Buck

Im a bit confused, when you say you cannot access the router interface, are you then referring to both pc’s or only to the pc which had its hd changed?
Also does the pc with a new hd has its settings same like it was before its hd was changed?
Obviously, as far as I can tell from your situation is that some settings might have been messed up when you changed your hd.
just to be sure go to network connections, then right click Local Area connection and then click properties then select Internet protocol TCP/IP and then click properties….
make sure that you have the settings on it set to obtain dns and ip automatically.

Hello, can anyone help me on my router? I have this Encore ENHWI-G2 wireless, and it was working fine. Modem was connected to the WAN port, and 2 desktops connected to 1 LAN slot each. I had to change the hard drive of one of the desktops and ever since, it cannot access the internet. However, both desktops can access the internet when directly connected to the modem. I tried restarting, resetting, and changing LAN slots, but it wouldn’t work. Also, i cannot access my router interface anymore. The “network timeout” notice appears on the browser when i try to access the router. Can anyone help me?

Of course it is very possible, you wont need switch hub, the encore wireless router can function as a switch hub just by placing the internet connection on the LAN port rather on the WAN port.
The same process can be followed just by following these steps > http://tinyurl.com/dzqdvc for new smart bro users
or this one for old smart bro users

Hi! I’m having a little problem with the encore router. I was already able to establish the connection between my desktop and my dell laptop and the internet was working fine. The problem is I couldn’t establish a connection between my desktop and my toshiba laptop. The toshiba laptop could detect the wirless network connection however, when I try to connect, there’s a message saying ‘windows could not connect 802112G.’ What do you think is the problem? How can I resolve it?
Hoping for your response. Thanks!

well as far you are asking for my opinion, based from my experience, yup it is worth it, i consider is bang for the buck.
cdr king also has various antennas available for it for various ranges
