#Poly bridge review switch update

Overall Review: Out of the box this wireless bridge had a firmware update available that I manually installed. You'll have to look up the default username/password in the user manual unless you have an exceptionally good memory. Typically, it's placed in small text on the bottom of the networking equipment. My biggest complaint, however, is that Linksys did not print the default username/password or IP address anywhere on the device. For example, in the user manual the English instructions are suddenly in French for one paragraph, and then back to English in the next. The attention to detail is slightly lacking. Set and forget.Ĭons: Linksys/Cisco has let a few goofs through their QC department. So far, after initial set up the device does what it's supposed to do without any troubles. I was able to connect to my Netgear AC router just fine and the connection was fast enough to stream a full blu-ray quality MKV video file without any skipping. This would be a nice gadget to tuck behind your entertainment center to connect multiple home theater devices.Īnother first from my experience, is a bridge that connects to the new-ish 802.11ac standard. Every single one I've come across in the past has only allowed a single connection, so kudos to Linksys for that. That said, this is the first wireless bridge I've used that has multiple ethernet ports. They come in quite handy if you need to connect a wired-only device to your wireless network. Pros: I've had experience with several brands and models of wireless bridges. Linksys WUMC710 Wireless-AC Universal Media ConnectorĪdditional Information Date First Available
