    Strengths: Decent speed across the wireless network. Wireless Security strenght is great

    Weaknesses:You have to make a physical in order to configure the router.

    Overall Evaluation: Easy to setup router. Wireless security is great. Overall, this router works great. It is worth the money. So far any 802.11n that you purchase from this brand it's great. I installed another network router for gaming for a friend using a gaming router from this brand and it working great so far.

    Duration of ownership: 5 Days

    Strengths: Visually interesting

    Weaknesses:Unreliable. Performance deteriorates within months. Riddled with problems from dropping wireless connections to e-mail-related issues.

    Overall Evaluation: This product represents another triumph in Linksys's quest to continue providing $160 paperweights. The third Linksys router to die in our office - and the last - this router made it less than five months before it began dropping connections on a regular basis, and with increasing frequency. Even the wired connections running through the router are now unreliable, requiring more-than-daily power cycling. The router has been more or less panned by reviewers at the PC Magazine and CNet sites. If this is how Linksys is going to build routers, perhaps Cisco should fold it up and focus on its own router line.

    Strengths: Solid performance over a nice distance. Fast speeds on file transfers, cool looking.

    Weaknesses:Questioning the connection I am getting with a wireless print server. Also Linksys.

    Overall Evaluation: Just upgraded a client with this router, put the wireless N card in the upstairs PC and the transfer rates are amazing. Sharing files even to the Laptop with a G card were slightly better. BUY THIS ROUTER!

    Strengths: Solid ConnectionSolid SecurityEasy Upkeep

    Weaknesses:none anymore

    Overall Evaluation: Notice the Linux and Mac users don't have a issue with dropped connections or slow performance. I found this odd too when I was working on my linux laptop. Than it hit me, good ol windoze isn't reading the connection correctly. Go to your router, nab the Fragmentation Threshold, the listen interval, the RTS Threshold and the transmit rate settings. Match those settings in windows by right clicking on your connection icon in the system tray, clicking "status", then "Properties", then click on configure next to your nic card, select the advanced tab. Now match up the info. This should fix the issue, it has for me. Been running solid now with no drops!Good ol windoze! :-)
