 Better than most routers September 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Even though this is a G router and not one of those new N ones, I still feel this router provides a very stable connection. I don't download large files or anything but unlike the 3 previous routers (Dlink, old Linksys, etc.) that I had, this one has never once lost connection. I am very happy with this product.
 The Worst! September 17, 2008

This was my first router from Linksys and it will be my last! Not only did the router fail to work right since day one, but the outsourced technical support in India was terrible! The people I spoke to were rude and often hung up on me! Most of them could not speak good English! And the wait times were awful! Never ever again!!
 Nice product, if I could get it configured September 16, 2008

Bought this about a month ago and still don't have it working with my system. They do an excellent job of walking you through the set-up so theoretically, it should be dead easy even for the most technophobic. My first problem was finding out I had a dead NIC card on my pc. This took 3 weeks of wondering why I couldn't "see" the router, no matter what I did. There is NO online help that tells you to check for that. Everything keeps telling you to type in the router address...well, that's great if you can get it's page, not so much when you can't. Now I'm stuck because there is no way to hook the router up via USB (which is how my cable modem is hooked to my pc), and it won't let me configure it via my wireless laptop. Now, I have no time to mess with it until after the semester is over. I could hook it up to my cable modem and broadcast and unsecured signal that works fine with my wireless laptop, but then that could leave my pc vulnerable. There really has to be an easier way to get all these things working together. This is why I long ago decided I did NOT want to work in networking and tech support. This stuff isn't made for people lacking a lot of networking experience and patience. Bottom line: as long as your system works doesn't have any unusual configurations, this product is great and does have a really nice set-up interface.

Had the router up and running in no time with no hiccups. ruter works great in my two story house with the router in the basement and labtop upstairs. encripting my connection also very easy. Would recommend and the price was great.
Rockin' upgrade for muilti-Mac/PC user September 14, 2008
I upgraded to this from an old Linksys "b"-speed wireless router. New iPod touch was getting iffy/useless signal, 2 MacBooks experiencing sporadic loss of signal (necessitating router reboots), etc. Gah. I also have 3 PCs (Win2k) and a new MacPro. Leopard on all Macs.
So I got it, used the CDROM that came with, followed instructions (instead of winging it, as I usually do), and I am VERY happy with the results. Pegged signals on all wifi gear, good coverage, full-time, no problems. Price point is ridiculous, quality superb. It even looks kinda cool.
The only catch was with our Tivo... It can't recognize wifi with the new/improved security (WPA2). A tolerable gotcha, no fault of the Linksys. Still deciding whether to buy the new USB/wifi stick for the Tivo or just chuck it for Dish Network hookup. Hm.
