    8/10/2006: After some early and initial troubles with issues that seemed to be stemming from this router, after many more months of use, i have changed my mind about this router. It has actually provided solid quality during the past months. I don’t know why it’s not giving me the old problems it did…maybe it was too close to another electrical device or maybe I had some settings set incorrectly.

    2005-2006: I get disconnected at least 3 or 4 times a day using these linksys wireless routers. Do your research and buy something like netgear or dlink. At first, i thought it was just one bad apple. However, I currently own 3 linksys routers and dozens of wireless pc and laptop cards, and all of them are giving me problems.

    Stay away from these linksys routers. At best, each time i get disconnected i have to restart my pc and the router and wait 10 minutes to get back online again. if you’re doing something important, forget it!

    Es mi primer router inalámbrico, y en cuanto a rendimiento, conectividad e instalación inicial es excelente. Sin embargo, es necesario un conocimiento mas detallado del equipo para programar la seguridad requerida. Luego de varios ensayos y errores, se aprende a conocer el router muy bien y los cambios o modificaciones se realizan muy rápido (acceso Web inclusive). Es verdad que frecuentemente se desconecta, por lo cual es bueno cambiar de canal (frecuencia) el enlace con el router, debido a que es principalmente por interferencias.

    This router was not the latest version. It would not work with XP.

    This thing is JUNK!!! Don’t waste your money. I am a computer professional and I had it working for about 5 minutes, then after powering it down and back up it never did work again! If you buy one, go through the setup and if it doesn’t work immediately SEND IT RIGHT BACK TO AMAZON! Don’t waste your precious time trying to get a $70 brick to do wireless because the odds are that you will just be wasting your time.

    Finally, Amazon likes to keep the good reviews toward the top of the list to keep the potential customer from being discouraged. However, YOU SHOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE BAD REVIEWS THAN THE GOOD ONES. If the product is in fact good it won’t have many bad reviews, or even possibly none at all if it is exceptional. However, look up all the bad reviews for this product. They should tell you that something is seriously wrong with this product.

    This item may be very useful in a business setting. However, it is very unlikely that it could be used in many homes. It cannot plug directly into a broadband modem, and it requires that it detect your system before you can set it up. So if you live near several other stronger signals this becomes increasingly difficult. Once again, they never said this product was intended for home networking..but in my opinion it would be a rare situation when you would need it for home networking.
