    Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

    Strengths: Dual Band, Gigabit Connection, Good wireless distance coverage

    Weaknesses:Provide CD is very basic, no manual

    Overall Evaluation: I tried to install the router by using the CD first, at the last step when it verified the internet connection, it kept saying that there is no internet connection. So I gave up using the CD, power off the router and turn it back on. It works fine after that.Better coverage and faster download than my 54G Linksys.

    Duration of ownership: 5 Days

    Strengths: Quick Setup, fast, versatility

    Weaknesses:Price

    Overall Evaluation: Easy setup, though the LELA was quite redundant, as long as you have a little bit of knowledge about using a router. Gigabit and USB port are included in this router, making it a good solution to NAS.

    Duration of ownership: 5 Days

    Strengths: None

    Weaknesses:Signal strength drop off is excessive. Slower internet, wireless, and signal strength than WRT54GX4 SRX400. Setup CD is goofy for experienced user, recommend 192.168.1.1 manual setup.

    Overall Evaluation: Multiple use examples critiqued in my following review. I bought this wireless router based on "expert" reviews in magazines and on the web but am very disappointed. The router works but I am planning to return it for an exchange. Xbox wireless can only attain moderate connection causing game drop. Xbox media connection to 5ghz is poor signal strength. Tivo wireless signal went from ~50-60 signal with WRT54GX4 SRX400 to 7% poor with the WRT610N. Wireless laptop internet connection / through put slower. iPod touch wi-fi range and connection is poor. Cat 6 wired computer file transfer going from 100MB to this 1GB router with Linksys 1Gb NIC EG1032 v3 is only about 45% faster therefore not justifying the expense / cost of this router. Flat profile takes ~4-5 times more desktop space than a stand up router. Maybe there is future growth built into this router but it is not apparent or useful to me today. Recommend you not buy this router!
