Customer Reviews:

A very difficult company to deal with [Posted on 2008-05-06]
This is a bad company. I purchased a wireless router from them and, truth be told, it never really worked right. The speed was ok, but it was impossible to set up without tech support and every so often it would simply stop working. When that happened I would be forced to call tech support and spend 30-60 minutes on the phone fighting with them about resetting the router. I recently purchased a new computer and decided to save a little money by moving this router to it. When I called tech support I was told that the router was out of its warranty period and they could not help me... unless I would pay them to. That's right, I would have to pay for the assistance on their product - a working product because it was not under warranty.

So be warned that you are only buying the option to use Linksys' products for a limited time - that is if you have any problems whatsoever that require tech support. I am now trying a Trendnet. Let's see if they are any better.

not an upgrade from previous linksys router [Posted on 2008-05-09]
i was upgrading from the Linksys WRT54GX Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX that i purchased a year ago and this new router was a major disappointment. i live in a high rise apartment with several rooms so i needed a router that can provide a strong signal. i ran several tests on speedtest.net as well as testing signal strength and my old router was superior with both signal and speed (this router was achieving 1/5 the speed of the old router in the room furthest away from the router). my ps3 also found the signal strength to be just 30% for this router vs 70% for the old WRT54GX router even though it is within direct line of sight. i thought this new gigabit router would be better and faster but it's not, i'm returning it.

One Of the best out there!!! [Posted on 2008-05-25]
NICE NICE NICEEEEEEEEEEE I like this router... It was so easy to setup just as the WRT160N was..insert the CD and that was all... I live in a 2 floor house and this unit is awesome!! it has range in all the house and even in the backyard 3 of 5 bars!! I have never experienced a connection drop but I recommend to put it on a vented area because it get very hot not toooooooo much but it does.. Just as the wrt-160N model I had both and for me they work the same.. same signal strength... both get hot.. very easy to set up... ONly would like that they had an ON/OFF button or switch.. they stay ON all the time.. but If you unplug the power cord it doesn't reset the configuration it continues working fine.... ITS A VERY GOOODDD CHOICE!!!

Disappointed with Signal Strength Obtained by Adapter [Posted on 2008-05-30]
I bought this product to replace a Linksys G-router which started giving me frequent disconnections (about every minute or so). I decided to upgrade to this N-router thinking I would have MUCH better and faster speed. WRONG....With the G-router and G-adapter, I always had a strong signal from where my desktop computer was in relation to my notebook computer. With the N-router and N-adapter, I now have a "LOW" signal.....same computers, same locations, etc. I even went out and bought another identical N-adapter but had the same results. I spent several hours configuring the channels, etc., including using Linksys' Chat service. Nothing solved my problem. Tomorrow, however I'm going to solve my problem by taking all of this back and getting a different router and adapter, whether by Linksys or another company, I'm not sure yet. I do know that I was VERY disappointed with this router and the adapter.

Fabulous [Posted on 2008-06-27]
This router was so easy to install...less than 3 minutes. Blazing speed and strong signal strength make this a no-brainer. I replaced my old router that kept dropping signal and cannot believe how fast it is. Don't hesitate, this is the one!
