Almost Perfect Product [Posted on 2008-07-12] WRT160N has everything a router should have and anything complicated automated. I am not a professional IT technician, but found this product EXTREMELY easy to be installed by the home user like me. I was able set up this router with restricted access for items on MAC list only and reserved IP addresses for my home computer and devices (one wireless laptop, a network printer and a hard wired desktop) - in less than an hour, no sweat!
However, the only downside: it does run a little bit too hot; therefore the one star off.
This is it. [Posted on 2008-07-12] I like this product a lot better then the earlier one. I did need help in getting it up and running right when it says it is easy to get going.
INSANELY EASY [Posted on 2008-07-14] According to the directions, you put the CD in BEFORE you do ANYTHING, which is what I did. This thing literally was installed, hooked up and running in mere minutes! It's awesome! I'm in my living room typing on my laptop right now. I have never had the need for a wireless router of any kind until now so I have no experience apart from today with this sort of thing. I highly recommend this on all counts...easy to install, easy to set up, easy to use, works great!
Stable Router [Posted on 2008-07-15] I purchased this router with the sole intent of having a router that would not require me to constantly reboot it to reacquire a signal for the wireless machines in my home to work, or to gain new ip addresses. I've been pleasantly surprised with this router. I've had 2 other Linksys routers in the past (including Linksys srx200) and this one trumps all. For the last 3 months, barring power outages in my area, I have not dropped a single connection and have not been required to reboot the machine. Additionally, I have port fowarding set on this router, and this router handles the traffic very well.
Sleek, Handsome, and Great-to-Use [Posted on 2008-07-18] I originally bought this product at Fry's. Then I shopped here on Amazon for the same product and it was 10 bucks cheaper--no tax, no shipping fee! What a deal! Anyway, when it was delivered, the router was easy to set up, like all LinkSys routers. It's not too big, and it's very pretty. It even has an option to hang up the wall to not take up space. Since it is an N router, the range that this router has is pretty big. I give it four stars, though, and not five, is because the range this N router compared to the other LinkSys N router is still smaller and weaker than the others. It has several options where you can wifi with other things (without putting in the password) such as DS, Wii by pushing a button on the router and setting up the wifi on your item that requires the wifi. =) Anyway, I think this router is very easy to use and it's great! just the range needs a little bit more push...
