CNET Asia Review

By Brian Nadel

Good

6.7

out of 10

The good: Shows local area network (LAN) details and resources; simple, functional interface; shares data and printers; downloadable two-week trial.

The bad: Doesn't work with every router; Windows only; supports up to a mere five PCs; can't save or print network map.

The bottom line: Network Magic can help you keep a home network online by showing a map of your network, helping to share network resources, and diagnosing problems. However, this program ignores several routers as well as Linux and Macintosh computers.

Pros: Ergo from above: it is great for home networking.
Cons: Used as designed for, there are no Cons.
Opinion:
Network Magic is designed for home users running a home network although a small office would profit just as much. I've been using it for quite some time, through two versions and I didn't mind paying for an upgrade, and its' automatic wireless router security configuration utility has never worked on any of my routers but that has not been a problem at all.....who can't secure their own router with just a few clicks from the router's browser GUI.

Why would a home user want to save or print a network map? If need be a simple screen capture and voila!

Great product that makes a wired, wireless or mixed home network extremely easy to setup and maintain.
