User Reviews for Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router with 4-Port Switch MIMO

  • Reviewed by: RonHauser

    Duration of ownership: 5 Months

    Strengths: The storage link is good.

    Weaknesses: The ethernet does not work well. The computers on the ethernet cannot see each other on the network. All work fine on the web.

    Overall Evaluation: I upgraded from the WRT54GS for the wired gigabit transfer rate. That was a BIG mistake, because now there is no transfer. Linksys' customer service was of no help, but they did spend over an hour on the phone with me before giving up. I wish I had not spent my money on this piece of junk.

    Strengths:

    Weaknesses:

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased all N draft equipment stictly based on the advertisements that the gear offered 4 x more range. In fact it doesn't have the range strength of the G equipment I replaced. A total waste of money. I asked for a solution and received an horrendous 300 step solution that doesn't work.. plus a firmware (bin) update that XP won't recognize and open.
