 Excellent Router; I am very satisfied September 27, 2008

I needed a router for my dorm room, that would work with my iPod touch and Macbook. Back at home I had the old version of this router, the blue and black one with the antenna on the back. It worked pretty well, it sometimes just dropped the connection and required me to press the reset button. It would never connect to my iPod touch either, even when I turned off mac address filtering and all of that. There also wasn't any software for Macs which was annoying. I had to use the web based client which, wasn't that hard, but you have to be tech savvy to know what to change to make it work. Plus it looks like a cheap piece of garbage.
This one is great though. It never drops connection, there is software to set up for Macs and PC's, and it looks nice. Its very thin and the antenna are internal, which is much more pleasing to the eye. I was afraid that it wouldn't be powerful for that reason but it can still go through a few different brick walls and provide wi-fi into my dorm lobby, so it has really good strength. The set up was a piece of cake; took like ten minutes, most of which was just because you have to reconnect the cables a couple of times and wait for it to sync up.
Overall I'm extremely satisfied with the product and I highly recommend this router.
 Good product from Linksys September 27, 2008
It's been over 2 months since I am using this router. It was easy to setup and signal strength is great. I gave 4 stars because the software that came with the router is not that great for managing all the devices. I initially installed the software to see how it works. Then had to re-install as my laptop does not get the wireless signal right after it starts up. I had to select and then enable it.
Easy to setup. Excellent customer service. September 24, 2008
Very easy to set up. Follow the CD instructions exactly don't jump ahead to preview or the cd won't go back. Had to call customer service and they answered promptly and solved the problem that I created. Works great.
 Poor wireless signal September 23, 2008
Buyers beware: at distances over 40 feet, your signal will drop to 3 bars at best and below that normally. I bought this router because of the good reviews, and I have to admit that at close distance (under 40 feet) it works very well, but if you're buying it for its long-range wireless capability, like I did, you're in for a disappointment.
Secure connection September 23, 2008
Worked fine with my old pc. When I got a new pc it took about 2 minutes and it was on. The signal is always strong even if I'm at the other end of my apartment.
