    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Strong signal -- No problem with MSN Messenger

    Weaknesses: Somewhat complicated with setting up.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this new wireless router to replace the old one. Actually, I need only wireless router but this set came to my attention because of its price. I think I got this one at a reasonable price given that I would be able to get the rebate from CompUSA! At first, it seems to have a problem with driver installation. My laptop is running with Windows XP. I am unsure what I did wrong but I asked my friend who knows more technical than I to help. He reinstalled and set up for me. Right now it is working quite well. Its signal is pretty strong. I used to use TrendNet wireless router before. Sometime TrendNet's signal seemed too low. Also, it has a problem when running with MSN Messenger. I got disconnected several times when I used MSN Messenger. With the new Linksys router, it works well so far and I do not seem to have any problem with it. I like it!
