Oh my this router stinks! [Posted on 2008-08-23]
I ordered this router because of the high rating it received. I've had nothing but trouble with it. It was a miracle if I could get online first thing in the morning, & even if I could, it was only a matter of minutes before I got kicked offline, & I had to repeatedly plug & unplug (for 30 seconds each time) the router to get maybe another 5-10 minutes of online time.
I used their online chat tech support, & downloaded firmware, reset the router, & nothing worked. So they had me send back the router & they sent me a new one.
Same problems started immediately. I've had it.
I thought Linksys would be a really good router because of Cisco's reputation. I was wrong. I've bought a Belkin N-Router instead & am hoping it works better.

I bought this and my friends told me how hard to hook up..so of course went into it scared, put the cd in and followed instructions did not work. So I uninstalleded, cooled down put cd in just put a user name and pass word and I was in business..I have a very big yard took my laptop outside and got internet every where I went, love it.
Good router [Posted on 2008-08-25]
I bought this solely for the purpose of upgrading it to dd-wrt

The upgrade went smoothly and now I have a wireless bridge for a reasonable cost.
Not recommended for beginners, but it wasn't hard to do.
Excelent for Open Source Enthusiast [Posted on 2008-08-25]
I just purchased my second WRT router. The great thing about them is that there is open source firmware that makes the router as good as the $200+ routers out there. The firmware upgrade allows you to do things such as remotely turning on/off your computer, advanced port options, advanced firewall, etc... For more info on it check it out at:

Unreliable [Posted on 2008-08-28]
I owned two of these one replacing the other, both needed to be rebooted every couple of weeks and both of the conked out after less than a year. I now have a D-Link wireless N router that has been problem free for more than 18 month now.
