Connected 4 PCs, a Mac and my Wii in about 13 minutes

I like the look of this router. It's so slick compared to most others I've seen and the wifi seems to work great throughout the house. I have four wired desktop computers (PC and Mac) and one wireless laptop that need to share an internet connection. I've also set up the Wii to connect to the internet through it, an iPod and a Brother MFC-490cw wireless color inkjet multifunction printer. (It's great to be able to print to the same printer from all computers, even a wireless laptop.) The range…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Frequency

I think this is my first 5 star review.

OK. I was originally considering a Wireless N version of this router to possibly replace my old WRT54GS (Linksys Wireless G Router with SpeedBooster). Admittedly, this router had problems. It worked, but not as well as I would have liked given my settings. Since all my devices are wireless G or B, I figured I'd just stick with the G router and save money (it's almost half the price of the N router). For reference, I have a laptop (wireless), media server (wireless), PS3 (wireless), PSP…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Negative impression

Great router after setup

I bought this router to replace my WRT54G which died after 5 years of continuous use. Given the performance of my previous Linksys, switching back to their product was an easy decision. I chose Wireless-G because there aren't many reviews that Wireless-n technology improves performance. Also, I was hoping I wouldn't have any trouble setting up my router connected to a similar product. I have AT&T DSL Express service with up to 1.5 Mbps downstream. Although my connection speed may not be very…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Third Linksys router in three years

This is an attractive, stylish, low profile wireless router that blends easily into the background, even at night. The indicator lights aren't too bright, it's quiet and functional. It was very easy to set up, we quickly started the service. The supplied DVD ensures foolproofness. We have little traffic with three laptops and one wired computer using the device. We haven't had any speed issues (sorry FIOS, your DSL line is still instantaneous and too good to switch due to the cost increase!)…

Pros
  • There's something special about this router
Cons
  • Anything I can add
