 DLINK Securespot Rocks! August 18, 2006
T. Vinzant (Bryant, AR USA)
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
Let me start by saying that I am a father of two very Internet savvy kids. I purchased the DLink Securespot from my local CompUSA on July 17, 2006. As of today I have had it up and running for about 4 weeks with my SBC/AT&T DSL service. I love it! It was easy to install and it performs as advertised. The support teams have been terrific, as I have made a few requests for future updates that they are considering.
I think every responsible parent should buy this product immediately, regardless of your computer knowledge. So many families are unaware of how to actually protect their kids from the ugliness of the Internet. In many cases the kids actually know more about the computer than the parents. The DLink Securespot is a simple to use yet powerful solution for protecting your family. What a true blessing. Thank you DLink and Bsecure! ***** FIVE STARS *****
Background: About 5 years ago I realized that I was going to have to work very hard to protect my kids as the Internet was beginning to show its ugly side. The good stuff was great, but the X-Rated stuff had to be blocked. I originally purchased a hardware router appliance that offered a limited number of IP addresses and provided a content filter that had an annual subscription fee. It worked well with one or two PC's, but then I bought more PC's and a couple of DVRs that needed to get to the Internet for weekly TV listing updates. Because I now have (4) PC's and (2) DVRs and a Slingbox (nifty TV thing) and a Wireless AP, I ran out of IP addresses. I constantly had to dump IP addresses and reboot the router. That went on for about 2 years. I hated it, but I had no other alternative. There was no other "Hardware" solution on the market that offered content filtering the way we had become accustomed. Not to mention the hassle of having to update the Virus Software on (4) machines. Over the years I had purchased McAfee twice, but couldn't justify the annual subscriptions for (4) machines. I had turned to AVG for virus protection. It was fine, but all of my machines had infections in the vault that I couldn't remove. That doesn't include the Adware, SpyBot and Spyware Doctor apps that I had to run constantly to keep all (4) machines running. I didn't have the time to keep up. I was drowning in upkeep.
The Scoop: The product out of the box will cover up to (4) machines for 1yr, more precisely (4) MAC addresses. This means that the hardware and all of the software updates are free for 1yr. The subscription after the first year to cover (4) machines is approx $80.00 per/year. Additional systems beyond the standard (4) can be purchased too. To cover (4) machines on the Virus Protection alone for 1yr is a bargain, the rest is gravy.
The Best Features: The Virus Protection software is up and running on all (4) systems and they are all updated regularly with little to no personal interaction. I tend to tinker with it manually to make sure it's working. I'm beginning to relax now that it has proven itself. The Content Filtering is extremely powerful and yet very flexible. The options listing for the content filtering is a lot more detailed than the product that I had before. The Reporting feature is probably one of the best things about the whole product. I have the ability to login to a secure website from home or work or anywhere, and see what sites have been visited and how many times. There is also an optional limit to how many times a site can be blocked before the machine has to be rebooted. There is also a parental password override for any blocked site, so if a site is blocked you can enter the bypass password and the site will come right up. The Spam blocking seems to be working very well as I get no more SPAM in my Outlook - No SPAM is a very good thing. The Spyware (Immunizing) needs some work, but I'm confident that future updates will resolve these deficiencies soon.
Installation Tips: Out of the box you'll need to go to the DLink website and download the latest Firmware update. Install the Firmware Update right away. Do not proceed with the installation instructions until after this has been successfully accomplished. If you have a wireless router already you'll be in great shape, but if you don't already have a newer model, I would recommend the DLink DI-634M Wireless 108G MIMO router. This will cover your home needs perfectly. I only had an Access Point before and had to buy a new router to complete the installation. I was initially a little disappointed with the added expense, but the newer technology has increased my coverage area tremendously. I am very pleased with the much needed upgrade. Once the firmware update has been accomplished you will have NO problems following the easy to follow instructions that come in the package. What a breeze!
Great Filter August 16, 2006

I bought a Secure Spot box to use on my home network. I have both a PC and a Mac. It works great on both. Having a 7 year old who is very computer literate already, caused me to get something that would keep him from unintentionally going to sites that I'd rather him not go to, as he is very www.(whatever word comes to mind).com happy. I had a little trouble at the beginning with setup, but the online chat technical support was a breeze and the support person was able to help me troubleshoot quickly. I'd buy it for the filter alone. Having peace of mind while my family is on the Internet, is worth the price of of the suite. I will be renewing my subscription to the service next year.
Great device November 13, 2006

With 7 kids, 6 computers, various PocketPCs with WiFi in my home (and an assortment of other internet-enabled devices), it's been next to impossible to monitor everthing that trickles in (it's mostly kids' friends and "accidents" that we worry about). For a couple of years I've relied on an MSN "software only" account to handle content filtering--with lots of problems. The other hardware solution that I've messed with (based on a dedicated linux system) might be fine for some, but require too much fiddling with.
This little box has replaced MSN, seems faster, and costs less. I can manage it from work which is nice for the occasional call I'll get from home that something appropriate is getting blocked.
Even though it comes with licenses for just 4 computers, many of the features (including content management) work against ALL of my computers--even without loading a client. I only bother with the client on the older kids' computers.
I highly recommend this device!
You won't be disappointed - This product works! October 18, 2006

I supervise 13 Computer Field Engineers and have worked in the computer support industry for more than 24 years. I have seen many products come and go; few are as impressive as Securespot
Simply put, this product does what it is designed to do and does it very well.
The basic setup is simple but don't let that fool you; there are features I have yet to implement (I have only had it for less than 24 hours).
I recommend this solution to anyone that wants to take control of the internet back. My 14 year old son recently was a victim of a "porn storm". He is a devout Christian boy and was very concerned of what he had seen; though only seconds on the screen he won't forget for a long time.
I tested Securespot on his computer this morning (10/18/06) and though I cannot say that this product is 100% effective it is 99.9%. I am certain he will not be subject to another incident like before again.
On top of the internet site control, this product also does the other stuff that takes 3 or more pieces of software to handle. It is less intrusive than any of the "internet" security/AV/Anit-Spam/Anti-spyware/etc" programs.
To say that I am impressed is an understatement. We are quick to point out when something doesn't work, D-Link and Bsecure deserve recognition of a product well done.
Definitely a good product! Customer service outstanding! September 8, 2006

I've been using my SecureSpot since May 15th 2006 (right after launch)
I was reading some of the bad reviews about this product, and I don't agree with any of them. Looks like people want everything perfect right off the bat!
Remember this is the first and only application like this out there for the home user right now, and it far exceeds any other software based applications. And with each update to the firmware and software it keeps getting better.
You can't just plug it in accept the defaults and expect it to work perfectly you have to tweak (especially the firewall) the settings, because everybody's home network setup is different. And that is where the excellent and I mean "EXCELLENT" customer service comes in to guide you through this process.
For my dollar there is nothing better, and if you take the time to learn the device and how it works there is probably nothing better for your dollar either.
