What Others Say
It doesn't even deserve 1 star
setup is very easy. The problem was it wouldn't stay connected to the internet. It drops the internet all the time. Called linksys customer service (twice) they were sooo helpful. they told me either our lines were the problems or I was the problem. So I ended up calling our internet company and they were nice enough to come and set it up..oh and by the way the same way I did it. They couldn't even figure out why it was dropping the internet connection, so they checked their lines they were working just fine. So here I am stuck with an overprice box thats only use is to set there and collect dust. ThaNKS LINKSYS
Good Range!
This device was a snap to setup, and has very good range. This is a must buy!
Good Router, Bad software.
When it comes to setting it up, it's pretty easy. All you have to do is plug the cable into the modem, and than it's pretty good to go. Then, open up the laptop, and go to the Connections, and you will see the option, and then you should click it.
There is Software, which i don't really like. It stresses that you have to run the CD first. So, i did, and when i did so, and followed everything, it said that it couldn't connect to the internet, which was very silly. It said that i had to plug it in with a wire, and all of that first, which i did, but in the end, it didn't connect.
So, i just did it as normal, and it worked

excellent router
this router is really user friendly to set up, it has a wizard that guides you through the entire configuration process. I like it pretty much
Great wireless router for every skill level!
Pros: Simple, short and sweet! Setup out of the box was a breeze, I did follow the cd's instruction's and there were absolutely no hangups or problems! I added my server, 2 desktops and 3 laptops that float around. No matter where the laptops are at they always get good reception. I have a jump drive ready for my friends when they come over and want to surf the net, all they have to do is run the stub on my jumpdrive and ta-da they are on! I am pleased!
Cons: I cannot delete people off of my network once they get on there, sure I allow them to get on there but I want to delete some off of my overpopulated network. Also, there aren't any mounts on the physical product so that I can easily mount it on the wall behind my monitor, ... Read More
