You just got your high speed modem (it could be cable, DSL, fiber optics . . . something nifty), and you've got your computers, and you've got your wireless interface cards. Now you need the final element: the router.

With four wired ports and the wireless connection, you're ready to take on the Internet and all it has to offer. Or maybe you just need a local network off the 'Net for your small office. Maybe you'll hook your desktop up by cable, and carry your wireless laptop to your favorite sitting spot. Control and configuration are easy with browsers like Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox 3.0 (or newer). (It's best to do your configuration from a hard-wired connection, not the wireless.)

Could this be the router for you? That's your decision, not ours. We'll be here, cheerfully waiting for you while you make up your mind.

5 out of 5 eggsVery happy owner

Pros: Rock solid stability -- I purchased this in Feb 2010 and have now been running it continuously for almost 6 months. I don't think I've had to power cycle this router once since originally setting it up. Also, I have never had any connectivity issues from my netbook, laptop, wife's laptop, two iphones, and my desktop with a wireless usb adapter.

Cons: A bit pricey (but well worth it)

Other Thoughts: After purchasing several budget line routers, I decided to finally pay for a higher-end solution and will not ever look back. It's well worth the higher price.

4 out of 5 eggsworking flawlesly for over 7 months

Pros: Easy to set up, easy to manage via web interface

Cons: unusual form factor
device is wall mountable but doesn't come with a mounting bracket

Other Thoughts: I'm not sure why there are negative reviews of this product. Mine's working as expected. I'm not using the ability for the device to serve as a NAS server.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Router

Pros: I have had no issues with this router. The ability to give my guests A/B/G access while being able to keep the N band to myself with it's own separate encryption is a very nice feature.

Cons: The FTP server can be a bit flaky on large file uploads or a bunch of small files at once. I don't really use this feature so it isn't an issue to me.

Other Thoughts: I whish they would have an option for a FTP / Web server which would be only icing on the cake for this router. Then I wouldn't have to keep a computer running 24/7 to keep my website up.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Router

Pros: This router has been in my apartment for over a year and we've had no problems with it. Having simultaneous dual-band wireless is great when you're the only person on the network with an 802.11N capable computer. The router web interface is easy to manage including blocking certain MACs from the network, having DHCP reservations, and easy port forwarding. The built in gigabit switch has been awesome!

Cons: Doesn't look great but it's under the desk anyways.

Other Thoughts: Definitely recommend this router. The gigabit switch on it is great for network data transfer. This router has allowed me to stream videos from my server to three different computers at the same time with no slow down. Linksys support was great as well when I couldn't figure out how to change the ip of the router.

2 out of 5 eggsPoor Coverage and Drops

Pros: Easy setup, with security options galore.

Cons: Having always been a Cisco fan, I had high expectations of this unit. Primary reason to purchase was teh 1 Gbit ports, and multiple radios for g/n that supposedly operate simulataneously.

This unit has very, VERY poor coverage. Go two rooms over from the unit and coverage is 1 bar or less. Throughput on the device, particularly wired ports, is very poor. I'm getting a measured throughput of about 50% on average, and swings from 25% to 60% at best.

Other Thoughts: Given the price of this unit, I was expecting considerably more in terms of utility, coverage, and throughput - yes, I even updated the firmware with no marked improvement.

1 out of 5 eggsAvoid this router!

Pros: It looks slick!

Cons: This is the worse router I have ever owned. I purchased this router thinking Linksys/Cisco made a quality product, not in this case. I've owned this router for about 8 months. My initial problem with this router was the hardwired network dropping out. This problem then found it's way to the wireless network, requiring the power to be cycled ever more frequently. During this whole process I contacted Linksys tech support four times, each time more frustrating than the other. While I'm convinced the hardware is somehow defective, dealing with the ridiculous suggestions of tech support , loading the latest firmware, and countess amounts of time wasted... I'm buying a new router!

5 out of 5 eggsPerfect

Pros: Works perfect. I have a couple of laptops connected to the 5Ghz band. A camera device, Roku and wireless access point to the 2.4 Ghz band. VoIP and two wired desktops are connected at 1000M speed. Antenna range is good enough to cover all my house like other routers. Video is playing with no interruptions. Internet download speed is great. Device heat is no different to other routers. I do not expect this will be a problem.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I am very happy I got it.
