Quick comparision of the CTR-350 and the MBR-1000

manganos

Hey gang,

I have been using the CTR-350 for some time now and it has been a GREAT router. About 30 min ago I just hooked up the MBR-1000 to test it out. The MBR-1000 is well packaged and installation is a breeze. I was up and running in less then 5 min and so far so good. There are a numerous new options in the routers options and there range is EXCELLENT. I had both hooked up and I walked until I lost the CTR-350 signal and the MBR-1000 was still 100%. Guess I'm gonna have to enable WEP now as the CTR-350 signal would not make it outside of the front porch. So the CTR-350 is going to start pulling duty in the RV and the 1000 is now fulltime in the home.

Good news my mbr 1000 will show up tomorrow. How is the range on the mbr 1000?

My house is about 4000 sq feet and I get 100% signal strength in all of it. It is raining so I can't go outside and test it but I'm sure I can get down the road a piece Wink

I need to go off line lol! Here I am ready to order my new CTR350 in the morning and now ya'all have me thinking I had better go with the MBR1000!?

Now I full-time in my RV so range isn't a big issue...oh wait it is as my co-host here in the campground usually shares my connection. Right now my KR1(wireless mode off) is wired to my pumped up WTR54G and I can cover the entire campground so I was simply going to turn the wireless mode off in the 350 and use the WTR54G to pump out my signal.

choices, choices. sheesh! I hate it when this happens! I reckon the CTR350 will serve my needs well and will be nice as I travel a lot without the RV. I gotta quit reading here!LOL

Well after tossing and tuning lol, I bit the bullet and bought the MBR1000 to replace my KR1 which doesn't support some of the new market devices. It should be here tomorrow morning. I had thought by the pictures it was quite a bit larger than the KR1 so one reason I was leaning toward the 350 when in fact it's about the same if not a wee bit smaller and a much more superior router. Way too many features I couldn't pass up on and had I got the 350 knowing me would have turned around anyway and got the 1000. I should be styling by noon tomorrow. Smile

Another seamless deal with the folks at the 3G Store. 2 routers, 2 usb modems and Sprint service through them and it's all been an enjoyable experience.
