Review Rating System Described 
HomeNetHelp has a very simple rating system based on usability of a product, not bells and whistles. We believe that a product should perform as well as advertised, be easy to set up, and should be priced correctly against its peers.  Products are rated for their functionality and appropriateness for home networks or small office networks.
What it takes to get a 3/3
A product must first and foremost be relatively easy to get working. This includes clear, consistent documentation. If configuration software exists, it needs to be friendly enough for a novice to get running without having to call tech support. Home networking products are used by more than just enthusiasts so they must be installable by anyone.
The product must perform as well or better than advertised. The feature set must be consistent with the advertised feature set at the time of the review. False or misleading claims are not tolerated.
It must also have a set of features consistent with other products in its class and price range. This is where the most leeway is given. Obviously features vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some are better at one thing while others are better at different things. There is no hard and fast rule, but more than a few deficiencies will definitely drop the product down to a 2.
What makes a 2/3
Products can score a 2/3 for a number of reasons. 2/3 scores do not indicate a bad product, it simply indicates the product may need some tweaking. If a product displays one or more of these characteristics it may be given a 2/3 score.
Priced wrong for its feature set when measured against its peers.
or
Hard to follow documentation or setup instructions
or
Inconsistent, buggy or unintuitive configuration software or drivers
or
Multiple feature deficiencies when compared to its peer products
What makes a 1/3
Few products ever see a 1/3 but it does happen. Gross problems with the product must exist making it relatively unusable, far to expensive or inadequate for the advertised purpose. HomeNetHelp.com does not recommend products that score a 1/3.
