    Duration of ownership: 5 Years

    Strengths: ALL

    Weaknesses:NONE

    Overall Evaluation: I don't even remember how long I've had it, 5 or 6 years. NEVER has any problems. Even in lighting storms. Of course my systems sit behind a pure protected (seriously protected) power supply. Never updated firmware. Everytime I check, no firmware revisions listed. If you can find a ver3 I'd grab it.

    Duration of ownership: 8 Months

    Strengths: sets up easy as long as you are only using computer to surf the net

    Weaknesses:exceedingly difficult to use with games, could just be my set up, but D-Link 4100 plugged in and worked for everything out of the box and it's blazing fast.

    Overall Evaluation: After having an old Linksys router fail last year, I thought I would replace it with an upgraded version of the same - only wireless. Since my networking expertise is minimal, I followed every instruction to the letter. The result was a mess. After messing with it for a couple of weeks, I decided to go back to what I "knew" would work, a Linksys Wired Router/Switch the new version is Model: BEFSR41. It worked, but had fits with games and some other applications. After going to the site and upgrading I was in the forums trying to figure out how to make games work with it, when I found that there were MANY people with the same problems I had. The thing just quits, there are some software flaws that are "identified" but no one is fixing them. I did download and install the firmware upgrade, but some games would NOT run. Goto the forums for the full story. Gamers stay away from this modem- works adequately for email.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: None

    Weaknesses:frequent connection drop and automatic reboot;expensive and not worth at all

    Overall Evaluation: I bought it and used it for 1 week before it started to drop broadband connection and automatically reboot. Sometimes, need to power off before getting broadband connection again.Asked its customer service and replaced a new one. The new one have same problem after 3 weeks.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Easy to use, before it breaks.

    Weaknesses:Cannot withstand any power fluctuations.

    Overall Evaluation: It seems ALL of my Linksys equipment (router, hub, and switch) lose ports each time we have a power outage. After replacing some of this equipment, I decided it was worth the extra $100 to get a nice APC UPS. All of my network equipment is now on the UPS, but after a power outage, another port on my Linksys 'junk' seems to fail. Funny thing though, I have an old 8-port SMC hub (from 2000, over 6 yrs old)) which has never lost a port yet. I'll never buy another piece of Linksys equipment again.
