Review on Efficient Connectivity: Linksys N300 Wi-Fi Wireless Router (E900) by Ben Daugherty

Revainrating 1 out of 5

what waste!

I ordered this because I was tired of restarting my old Belkin router every few days. Unfortunately, this also needs a restart every few days. I was hoping that by switching to what I thought was a slightly better brand I would get a more reliable or stable router, but it's the same thing. Every few days the wireless connection drops and DHCP stops working. It's frustrating, but I don't want to spend money on enterprise-class hardware, so I guess I'm stuck. Update: This reset issue is happening every day now, often more than once a day at this point. Also, the range on this thing is pretty pathetic. I have to keep resetting it, and even when it "works", I get wildly different ping times, just to other computers on my local wireless network. It's pretty obvious that this router is the cause of all my problems. I've ordered another model hoping the 3rd time will be nice and I'll get this junk out as soon as possible.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
