 Nothing great to write about January 6, 2009
I bought this router after reading rave reviews from owners. It was easy to set up as promised. However for some reason, it doesn`t work well with my older dell laptop. I have a newer Sony Vaio which works great with it. It looks sleek..better than the ugly blue box. So far, I have no major complaints.
 Great for my purposes January 6, 2009
This router has been great for my purposes. Using to connect a desktop, a couple of laptops, a Wii and an Ipod Touch w/ no significant issues. I've had to reset it a couple of times when it seems to drop the signal, but the dropped signal could be a result of other pieces of equipment in line (I'm using Minneapolis city wireless internet service, so that could be the culprit). Dropped signals happen much less frequently with this than w/ my previous Linksys wireless B router (don't recall model #.)
Range is decent in our house (around 1700 sq ft) in both the basement and main level with router placed in central location of basement.
Very easy set up, has worked well with all devices I've tried to connect to it.
So Easy! January 6, 2009
So far, so good. We were concerned with some of the negative reviews, but, for us the Linksys has worked flawlessly. I wonder if the problem for others could be the order in which you set up your modem (with a cable broadband connection or VoIP telephone) and then your router?*
Incredibly easy to set up!! Much more so then our D-Link. It literally took 5 minutes from in the box to up and running! I love the automatic encryption - makes us feel safer living in an apartment community.
If anything changes I will come back and update.
I highly recommend this product.
*When setting up ... or re-setting ... make sure you disconnect power to all routers and modems for 2 minutes ... first power up your cable/Internet modem ... (then, IF you have a telephone modem, such as vonage or a skype stand-alone modem power it up and connect it first - this is so your calls get priority over any other devices plugged into your linksys or running wireless from it) ... then power up and connect your linksys ... you should find much better success doing things in this order!!
Cheers.
Very easy install. January 6, 2009
Out of the box, this router was up and running in about 10 - 15 minutes. Very easy, no hassles. Signal strength 1 floor away and on other side of the house is very good. So far, it's been an excellent product.
excellent item! January 6, 2009
I was looking for an inexpensive yet functional wireless router that was easy to install and use, and this item fit the requirements perfectly! Not only am I no longer on the leading edge of technology, I can just about see it, so the simple installation instructions were perfect for me, and the router has worked like a charm since then.
