its funny listening to people slamming the Davis console and the connection options; I thought the same thing while going through a crappy Acurite ordeal, and then the WS2000, which, although everything worked perfectly out of the box, I could tell it wouldn't last long out here in the desert, so I decided to go with a Davis, since I had one years ago that lasted 15 years without issue..
So, I rarely, if ever look at the Davis Console; there are so many other ways to view your data, via cell phone/tablet/pc/etc, that the archaic look of the Davis console hasnt bothered me one bit..and.getting the internet working with it was a breeze; first, with a wifi logger, which didnt like my wifi network much, then, I switched to the Davis IP Logger, which works all the time, every time.
Sure you will spend more with a davis setup, but it just works, all the time, every time. so keep that in mind, and, as long as you are comfortable using cell phones/tablets/pc, viewing your data is gorgeous color wont be an issue..
good luck
