Review on πŸ” Renewed Linksys E2500 Advanced Dual-Band Wireless-N Router with Simultaneous Connectivity by Rick Gondoras

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Do you have experience in IT and 3 hours of work?

Here's the thing, this router was a real problem. The firmware is outdated so I had to update it. The problem was that he canceled the update in the middle. I ended up having to set up my old router, connect to the internet, connect this E2500 to my computer and update it that way. That was just the beginning. Your username and password for this router is "Administrator". couldn't find the router. I had to set it up manually. Problem 2: The DNS server was not working for some reason. I set up GoogleDNS 8.8.8.8 and that seems to have fixed the problem. Problem 3: The SSID was broadcast but there was no internet connection. After cloning MAC address. Change the MTU to 1300. Then disable blocking unknown connections. I made it I also had to manually tune the 5GHz band. If you don't understand what I just wrote. Do not buy this router. If $50 is worth it, you'll save some nerves and time. Do not buy this router. I'm glad it works, but I was about to return this item. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Much luck.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Some trouble
