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.

i bought this router from BestBuy. i have 6MBPS-12MBPS internet connection at home. (i have wireless N card on my laptop) i tested internet connection sitting 2feets from the router and max internet speed was 12MBPS. i went inside my room (may be around 10-15feets from the router) tested for the speed and it was only 700kbps(by the way, my room door’s were closed). i don’t think its worth $108 for this router. (94% reduction in speed huh!!!)

This beautiful bit of design installed nicely, worked for a whole six weeks, and now fails to connect with *one* of my email providers. I’ve reinstalled the software, re-upped the firmware, rebooted the router, modem and computer multiple times, and spent hours searching forums and in lovely online chats with Linksys Live Advisors. My gears are stripped, my tires are blown, and I’m now using it as a paperweight.
My computer wired stright to the modem works fine, so it’s not in my email application, ISP, email srever, virus checker, firewall or in the stars. Maybe it will work for you, but do yourself a favor and read the one- and two-star ratings on Amazon and check the email threads on Linksys forums before you click ‘Add to Cart’.

Installed this thing in about 15 minutes replacing a 2 year old wrt54G. I didn’t use the installation CD so I cannot comment on that setup. I am amazed at some of the posts here regarding unhappy people about this router. I mean honestly the words people use in their post just don’t match up. I think someone said “interface” in their review. I am convinced that the world is full of ding dongs who cant use a pencil sharpener let alone set up a wireless router. Some einstien commented here on the fact that he was mad you had to hard wire the router to get into the config screen. EVER heard of an IP address? ALL routers need to be hard wired to the computer AND net to be configured correctly. Also all of you people who are using the so-called installation CD deserve what you have coming. It is FAR easier to setup a router security via the web browser and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that putting a CD program in your disk drive will expose a computer to spyware. DUH! The router works just fine has decent speed and good range. If you don’t know about computers or networks realize that there will never be one click network setup. Get over it..and learn somthing. This router setup is straightforward and simple. I enjoy owning. it.
