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

@James, good day to you, and thanks for the reply, I’m on XP SP3, and regarding to LAN setting in the net option, I’m already in “Auto Detect Settings”. So, do you think I have to use the proxy setting of the router? Thanks again!

@Vhindoy,

@ James Diaz or anybody out there who could help me, I experienced this even in my wired router. Now, I’m using a cdr king wireless router and everything seems ok, except that whenever I switched off my pc and then switched on again it will say “Limited or no connectivity”, it’s my desktop pc, and is wired to the wireless router. As for the other laptops in the house the wi-fi capability of the router is working perfectly. So, what could be the problem? I have ran the Installation Wizard already but haven’t changed anything. Is there something I should re-configure? By the way, I could still connect to the internet, only after plugging the ethernet cable from the router when the pc is already stable after switching it on. Thanks!

to all who cannot connect – its better to go to a cd r king branch store anywhere and ask for the tech support to set up your wireless router.
and to the staff or sales rep of encore or any wireless router in Cd R King – kindly ask the customer for an option to personally configure the wireless router in the store.well maybe some of the buyers didnt know much about configuring/installing the device.
just my 2 cents. good day and have a wireless surfing fun!
