  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: - Great speeds when connected

  Weaknesses: - Connectivity problems

  Overall Evaluation: - I live in a townhouse with maybe 2 other Linksys routers within range, not all the same models (I know cause my wireless adapter sees them)I have a laptop, and an Xbox 360 connected wireless. I loose connection everyday, sometimes not being able to get on at all....its not my internet provider (I work for the company that installs it so its been checked over many times) so...for maybe having to many routers in the same area is the problem. im calling Linksys right now....

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: None

  Weaknesses: Deceptive "easy" setup, slow connection (when it does connect), kicks off one computer when another logs on.

  Overall Evaluation: I'm not a nube, so I wanted to upgrade from my lousy cable company router; boy, did I make a mistake. The easy setup disc/process only works if you restart the computer after every step, the connection works for 1/2 hour max before it kicks off, super slow connection, really, don't go near this thing. This is the last Linksys product I will ever buy.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Interface, compact, dual external antennas

  Weaknesses: Signal strength drops significantly with two or more laptops connect by wireless. Disconnection occurs about 4-5 times per day and problem still occurs after laptops restart.

  Overall Evaluation: If you are using one laptop you might be okay. But when you connect two or more devices the signal strength drops drastically and stops staying connected. I have no cordless phone and the router is not surrounding by any walls and place perfectly in the open.

  Duration of ownership:6 Weeks

  Strengths: Speed, no dropped signals

  Weaknesses: Poor technical support, difficult to install

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this instead of other less-known brands to have a smooth installation. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Easy Link Advisor software that comes with the router did not recognize the hardwired internet connection (AT&T Yahoo DSL) on my Dell desktop running Windows XP Home located in the main floor of my ranch house. This persisted even after several attempts, uninstall, reinstall, etc. Phone tech support required over 20 minutes wait time. Therefore, I used on-line chat support. They must be handling too many sessions at the same time as they could not get a good grasp on my situation and kept repeating questions. Finally, had to install the router manually by using its ftp address and using the instructions from chat session. Had some issues later on while trying to access the router using Linksys WMP300N adapter in another Dell desktop running Vista and located in the basement. More chat sessions were needed to get the settings corrected. After all the initial troubles, router is working without problems. However, I frequently get only 2 towers (signal strength) when I access the router from the desktop located in the basement. This has not affected my internet access speeds but I am not a heavy internet user (no movie downloads ever, only some music download, some on-line music videos).

  Duration of ownership:1 Weeks

  Strengths: Strong signal, fast connection.

  Weaknesses: Not so easy to install. Tech support speaks heavily accented english. *Drops connection with use of 2.4ghz phone*

  Overall Evaluation: Now that it is up and running this is a terrific router. We get an excellent signal on all 3 computers that we have it networked with so far plus our internet speed seems to be faster. Getting it going in the first place turned out to be a rather long process involving 3 separate calls to tech support. It would not install with the disc provided and had to be done manually with help from tech support. I would buy it again.*update as of 1/25*The router still works fine but drops connection when the phone is in use. If you get this router make sure you have a 5.8ghz or 900mhz phone or else you will get dropped when the phone is in use and will also get interference on the phone line.

  Duration of ownership:7 Days

  Strengths: Easy Set Up -- less than an hour, So far very smooth glitch-free operation

  Weaknesses: None so far -- now I think I need faster internet service and a new computer -- not happening though

  Overall Evaluation: I set up the router using the Easy Advisor CD in less than an hour. This is my second or third router set up and by far the easiest. I did call Linksys to make sure I had the latest firmware and to make sure I understood how to access the web accessable router set up. Turns out the instructions are available on their web site if you look around. Updating the firmware is easy, but it turned out mine was current. The latest firmware is also downloadable from their site. My old router, which will remain nameless to protect the guilty, was glitchy as the **** What a pleasure using this one is! It looks a bit like it belongs on the old Star Trek series, but it works great. I can watch videos, download files and play games over my DSL connection with reckless abandon. Before my old crummy router locked up at least several times a week. I think it overheated. If I turned it off for a while it was OK for a bit. I finally gave up on it.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Works with my other PCs

  Weaknesses: Does not work with Xbox 360 Live

  Overall Evaluation: I can't play Halo 3 or other games online with Xbox 360 Live with consistency.Yes, it will connect, I get 3 of 4 bars green on connection, but the games do NOT play right.I called Xbox 360 support and they confirmed it is not yet compatible. I did not get an answer when this issue will be fixed.If you are an Xbox fan, I suggest waiting before buying this product until this issue is resolved.The WRT150-N is a "Version 1."My bad for buying a version 1. Dang, I am bummed.

  Duration of ownership:2 Weeks

  Strengths: Super easy to setup, outstanding connection speeds, extensive range

  Weaknesses: Live Tech support staff is in India/Pakistan

  Overall Evaluation: It is a haven for my small network that shares high-speed broadband Internet access, files and printer among older wired computers with XP and Vista powered wireless notebooks. I still get "Good" or "Excellent" signal strength even outside of the house and able to work and get some fresh air in the same time. Great price compared to other routers, too.

  Strengths: - Easy setup- Not much different from the WRT54GS setup

  Weaknesses: - None so far

  Overall Evaluation: Added some new electronitc toys (Sony PS3 & Toshiba HD DVD) that can use a wireless connect and wanted to improve download speeds. I just finished the install; very easy. Will now go and give my PS3 and Toshiba HD DVD player a try and let you know if I can notice an improvement on download speeds.-08-27-2007 - Ok; yes I could tell a difference in download time; I downloaded a movie trailer from my PS3 and could tell that it took less time; not a lot less; it wasn't screeming fast, but I could tell a difference. So could I recommend this router; probably, especially if you can get it on sale ... I got my for $89.99.
