Linksys RangePlus WRT160N 4-Port Wireless-N Broadband Router

The Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

  Duration of ownership: 6 Months

  Strengths: Sleek design; great finish and styling Easy setup; plug and play; no compatibility issues Familiar web interface for configuration Expanded network range

  Weaknesses:Lasted 6 months; dropped DSL connections and self rebooted constantly Extremely unreliable wireless; had to reboot router daily Very long delay in establishing PPOE link to ISP

  Overall Evaluation: Had a lot of confidence and hope given brand name but severely disappointed Actually shocked that any item associated with Cisco could be such garbage Cannot return to store now as past 1 month period Will attempt compensation from Linksys but not hopeful – buyer beware, brand means nothing

  Duration of ownership: 3 Months

  Strengths: Over a Linksys B router, who wouldn't smile?

  Weaknesses:Setup was a challenge. I won so far.

  Overall Evaluation: I don't recall why but the Linksys Advisor didn't help initially. I removed it and I switched to commanding the router from its IP address. A few tips from the internet helped me. I have had no issues since, and I love it.

  Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

  Strengths: Easy setup, better speed than G (but only 2x based on my measurements), internal antenna (so no external honky kinda radar antennas like the other N linksys routers)

  Weaknesses:No better range than my 802.11G, no option to set router to only 802.11N, userid name cannot get updated on router

  Overall Evaluation: Overall I was quite disappointed. The range was worse than my 802.11G router (yes worse), but the speed was 2x as fast. There is no setting on the router to run only on 802.11N, the admin user name is kept blank (you cannot enter a user name). Setup was easy except it said 'finished' when it really wasn't completely setup, so I ended up having to go into the IP address to complete the setup for the isp provider settings. It was no better than G - Overall I expected a whole lot more!

  Duration of ownership: 1 Days

  Strengths: Quick and easy setup. Slick Futuristic Design

  Weaknesses:None Noted

  Overall Evaluation: I hadn't heard any press on this and was surprised to find it at my Best Buy store. I like it better then the larger more obtrusively designed Linksys with the radar tower attached.
