Spotty and slow -- try another one by Privacy (Privacy, IL, USA)  1 Stars
November 25, 2009
I am not a technician. I am a very proficient user, with a lot of experience using corporate and personal networks going back 20 years. Here is what I can tell you about this router. It often times out before a website will come up -- even a fast one like Google. I have to hit the refresh key, and then it appears. It often just won't work. I have to unplug it, and then plug it back in. Then it works. How do I know the problem is the router and not some other part of the chain? Two reasons. First, I didn't have this problem with my old router before it died. And second, I don't have these problems at work. So I don't know exactly what the problems are, or what a better router is, but if you're like me and you just want something that works well, I'd suggest you try a different one. This one will disappoint you.

Just Terrible all Around by Michael K. Leary 1 Stars
November 23, 2009
After purchase it took a lot of research just to get it going on my 64bit vista system. After several tweaks and a firmware downgrade which I eventually found on Linksys forums I got it up and running. It worked for a while but then started having all sorts of problems accessing the internet. Finally I sat through an hour of tech support that finally installed newer firmware that had just come out only to crash the whole unit. Then I was subjected to a torturous process to send it back for a replacement only! Why would I want another one of these? Linksys was awful to deal with. I have been using Linksys equipment for at least a decade and have watched the quality fall so far. The only reason I kept going back is because I was familiar with it. No More! I'm done with Linksys, they just rush things out now to try and be cutting edge.

Junk by S. Pehrson (San Francisco) 1 Stars
November 21, 2009
I originally purchased a v2 of this router but it died on me after a couple of weeks. Linksys replaced it with a v3 which occasionally resets all settings to default. Often loses connectivity to my different devices. Its incredibly frustrating. Each day when I get home from work I have to spend five minutes making sure its configured correctly.
I'll admit to being a little naive about the benefits of upgrading from a G to an N router. I actually thought it would make a difference. For almost everything you might want to do in a home network environment wirelessly their are no real advantages to having an N router versus a G router. My assumption was that I'd be able to stream media at higher rates. Well the rates are higher but still below the rate that makes any difference. A wireless N router does not enable you to stream at DVD bitrates between two wireless devices.
If you want speed go buy some cat5 cables.
