Tools and Hardware Reviews of Blue Line Innovations BLI 31100 PowerCost Monitor WiFi Gateway

Customer Review: Can be a pain to setup
Summary: 3 Stars

It does the job, but can sure be annoying to get configured. The fact that it is only 802.11b and flakey with some newer routers is also a pain - but I've managed to make it work with my gear (mostly). I found going with a static IP setup to be the best route. I think overall it's probably about $50 overpriced.
