GREAT PERFORMANCE, SIMPLE SET-UP. GREAT VALUE
We purchased this router after trying two other routers that we had problems with. This router is so reliable and easy to set-up. The easy connection set-up button on the front of the router is unique and makes set-up a breeze. The range is pretty good, we are able to easily connect to the internet upstairs when the router is downstairs and it maintains a strong signal.

There were very few times I had to reset the modem so I'm think the router is the culprit. This also includes some direct router connections, not just the wireless signal. It ... Read More
Tried and True
This is a good, stable product, and unlike a previous Linksys routers I have owned, firmware updates seem to work properly without any special tricks (reason for this purchase). The included nework management software is not required and a bit tiresome if you already understand networking, but would be very useful for a beginner. Wireless range is perfectly acceptable within an average scale home.
