Netgear gets the hEVA-ho
Not good news on the EVA700 front - the unit I bought does not work and is going back. I want a refund, not a replacement. Here's why:
* The install software simply doesn't work with Vista. It's been out for four months now, for Pete's sakes - and the Betas for a year before that - but still no word from Netgear on when or if they'll bother to support a premium-priced device
* The integrated W-LAN is not recognized by the device - it keeps asking me to plug in the W-LAN card ... maybe something is loose inside?
* It couldn't cope with my Windows-formatted (and currently working) iPod
* The remote control can't power the unit off (although it has a power button)
To add to the list of gripes, user friendliness and the on-screen menus are shamed by my 1991 JVC VCR.
The search for a decent multimedia extender device continues! Previous applicants need not re-apply.
