Strengths:Easy to install, good speed
Weaknesses:loses connectivity after 6 months
Summary:I bought my router in May. Up until about two weeks ago, I had no problem. Then, I lost my connection. I disconnected my ethernet-connected computer directly to the modem and my internet was perfect. The problem is that my primary computer is the one that connects to the internet wirelessly. So, I called Linksys, reset the router updated some settings. Then, Sunday night I lost my connection again. This time, the computer was able to pick up the network but not the internet. So now, the wireless computer isn\'t wireless and I don\'t know if I even want a replacement.

Strengths:Easy to set up, range is acceptable in this home, and it looks futuristic and cool
Weaknesses:The unit takes up precious desk space
Summary:I replaced a friend\'s old Wireless-G Router/Switch/Access Point by SMC. This worked so much better than his older unit. For his use...he gets acceptable speed and distance in his home. GOOD JOB LINKSYS!

Strengths:Easy to set up, great range and looks good
Weaknesses:None
Summary:I upgraded from a Trendnet after being frustrated with it for a month and difference was amazing. The linksys set up was great and works flawlessly.

Also I hear you can customize a lot of the firmware but have not tried it yet.

Strengths:Works very well.
Weaknesses:I\'m not very knowledgeable in the computer area, so it took me a while to get my settings right.
Summary:It\'s great not to be connected to the desk. I\'m still not quite sure if my security settings are correct, and I\'ve yet to figure out how to print wirelessly...but those are operator issues, I suspect! Overall, I love it and would recommend this router to others.

Strengths:Extreme ease of set-up. Excellent software available for download. Great performance.
Weaknesses:Unable to upgrade antenna. Odd looks.
Summary:This is the second generation router based on the rock-solid Linksys WRT54G that has been available for a long time. The setup was quick and painless and I recommend downloading the software to manage the network. The pros far outweigh the cons for me considering performance and ease of use are top priority for me. The looks of the router seem \"spacey\" and I thought they would have shrunken the overall size of the router down. It still takes up some prime real estate on your desk.

Strengths:Price, style
Weaknesses:none so far
Summary:This router was very easy to set up; just followed the instructions provided and in a few minutes I could connect my MacBook to the network. I have an excellent reception to my Macbook from essentially anywhere in the house. I also have a xbox 360, and ps3 connected to it, both working without any problems.

I also like the design of this router. The antennas are hidden into the router and it really looks much better than its predecessors, in my opinion.

Strengths:Superfast
Weaknesses:None
Summary:I bought this after I upgaded from DSL to Broadband through Comcast. My old router was only pulling in about 3000 mega bytes per second. With this router I\'m getting over 20000. This was a great purchase. Super fast download speeds. Try testing at speedtest.net. You\'ll definitely notice a difference.

Strengths:* Easy configuration* Standard Linksys web GUI interface* Support for a full set of wireless security features* Stylish design with hidden antennas
Weaknesses:None
Summary:This is a great follow up on one of the most popular wireless routers made by Linksys. This unit supports all the features of its predecessor and offers support for the latest wireless security enhancements. The unit has no antennae sticking out and is stylish enough to sit your desk. The wireless signal quality is the same, if not better, than that of the original WRT54G. I found no issues with wireless link stability. If you know your way around Linksys web-based configuration GUI, configuring this device should be very easy for you. If you need more guided approach, a CD-based configuration wizard utility is included with the router.

Strengths:Very good speed, easy to install, looks great
Weaknesses:Could not load the wireless settings page in admin console, long waiting time for customer service
Summary:I was using a Netgear 802.11b router and compared to that, this router has a much better range and speed. I am not using the 802.11g feature as yet as I dont have a 802.11g wireless card, but overall the router is great. The only problem I had was that when trying to setup the wireless security settings, the page was stuck at Wifi protected dialog box. What I did was directly type the URL in the browser:

192.168.1.1/WAdv.htm...

I have been trying to get hold of tech support but after 20 mins of being on hold, I gave up.
