Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router

The sleek Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router works in two radio bands at the same time, delivering twice the bandwidth for smooth high-definition video, lag free gaming, and uninterrupted music in one band, while browsing the Internet, sharing files, sending e-mail, and printing in the other. Wireless-N gives you incredible range and speed in both bands, while Linksys' Entertainment Optimized Networking (EON) technology prioritizes network traffic so that time-sensitive applications like HD video stream smoothly.

  Duration of ownership: 9 Months

  Strengths: Gigabit switch included on unit

  Weaknesses:These observations regard Vista implementation: When using the suggested adapter, you have no control over 2.4 vs. 5 band. Difficult to configure for 5G with 2.4G active. Not a beginner item. Performance is not up to other single band routers at much lower pricing. As with other Linksys/Cisco products it dowsn't play well with Vista.

  Overall Evaluation: Very few will need the dual band features and a good "N" router, properly and easily configured with serve much better and you can pocket a piece of change. The service from the vendor is TERRIBLE. They do not understand the simple problems and drive you to the edge in frustration. If you feel confident with configuring and working with the confusing configuration of this product then buy it. Otherwise there are much better choices (Netgear Dlink etc.)

  Duration of ownership: 7 Months

  Strengths: Everything! Compared to the other off-the-shelf wireless routers, this product is the best I have used so far!

  Weaknesses:Was a bit peeved about having to use FAT32 for my external hard drive, but I got over it due to the 610N's performance as a wireless router....

  Overall Evaluation: Although it cost more than most wireless routers, the 610N has not lost a connection in 7 months. Try to get that performance with any of the numerous wireless products (NetGear, DLink, and cheaper Linksys models)I have used in the past.

  Duration of ownership: 1 Months

  Strengths: ease of set up, choice of either band to use, USB port for external HD or Media hub for data share.

  Weaknesses:none so far.

  Overall Evaluation: Contrary to others my set up went smooth. My lead computer uses XP pro, and its a old amd 939socket 3800 X2. Another desktop connected to the router is a Vista 32 bit. A wireless 64 bit Laptop with Vista is also connected to it. After you run the disk, and start the set up, what you do when your done is to disconnect both the power from the modem, and the router. Or reset the modem with the router unhooked. Then when the modem resets, attach the router, and it's good to go. The disk helps you attach the rest of the devices to the router. On the laptop it asks if you want to keep the connection, if you say no by unchecking the boxes, you will have to re-enter the password when you have connected to something via the browser, for another connection. So, on the laptop keep the check marks checked then it is on until you shut off, then you have too of course put in your connection password again. Right now I am happy with it, and I also have a external fat 32 drive. I think they use that for all computers can share that data. I updated my laptop on battery for 51 updates at once with just wireless, and it stayed connected with no drops. So far I am happy with the product, and would buy it again.

  Duration of ownership: 1 Months

  Strengths: Reliability, throughput power, stability, range, dual channels, external HD hook-up via USB, ease of configuration, and it even looks cool on top of all that!

  Weaknesses:Slightly difficult to set up external HD through router, but not impossible...just do your research.

  Overall Evaluation: This router is quite like a dream for all its reliability and functionality. Mind you, this is not for the casual user or someone who does not know wireless set up very well, however it is easier than one would think. Definitely use the manual set-up over the "PIN" set-up so you know it's done right. This router is replacing a previously decent Linksys model WRT310N, which I will give to someone needing a more casual network that is at least reliable. If you want a rock solid full featured Wireless Router, get this one and do it right.

  Duration of ownership: 30 Days

  Strengths: Easy to setup

  Weaknesses:NO range at all.

  Overall Evaluation: HORRRABLE range. Lame tech support tries to explain HORRABLE performance by checking my config, it works when I'm on top of it! They look good but the reality is wireless routers need antennas, if they dont have them they dont work.
