Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router With Storage Link WRT600N Review

by Becky Waring, PC World

- At $200--just $50 more than many single-band gigabit routers--and with USB drive sharing as a bonus, this router can support 2.4-GHz legacy devices and 5-GHz clients simultaneously.

User Reviews for Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router With Storage Link

Reviewed by: newyorkerguy

Duration of ownership: 2 Days

Strengths: strong performance on 5ghz n band; useful network map application

Weaknesses: After not using linksys products for several years due to declining quality and tech support, I decided to try them again. I hoped that their acquisition by cisco would raise the standard. I found that nothing changed. This top of the line router could not establish a connection with either of 2 laptops wirelessly on the 2.4ghz band (this was not a problem with the belkin router I was replacing). I spent hours with linksys tech support on the phone. The tech offered random recommendations, until he admitted he did not know the product in detail.

Overall Evaluation: I will never buy a linksys product again.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Fast and easy to install.

Weaknesses: Variable signal strength when connecting using my WEC600N wireless adapter in my notebook.

Overall Evaluation: Overall this is a great wireless-N router and the speed is super fast. I bought this to upgrade from my old Linksys WRT54GS broadband router. The dual-band wireless router allows me to use my notebook at more than twice the speed of my old wireless connection and it works perfectly when streaming video from the Internet on my wireless network. The only weakness is that the signal strength is sometimes less (good) than my old router provided (consistently excellent), but this is not often and it still works great! I'd recommend this router to anyone. If you want faster wireless connections, get this router.
