Product Description:
The Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router is really three devices in one package. 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. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The Access Point built into the Router uses the very latest wireless networking technology. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G. Wireless-N can dynamically enable double-speed mode for Wireless-N devices, while still connecting to other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. In congested areas, the Good Neighbor mode ensures that the Router checks for other wireless devices in the area before gobbling up the radio band. To help protect your data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength 256-bit encryption. It can serve as your network's DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility. The incredible speed of Wireless-N makes it ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and Voice over IP telephony, and gives you plenty of headroom to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in performance. With the Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games, and run media-intensive applications at incredi

- Perfect, except for range
It has everything you need, it is simple to setup and works with all devices, the only major major disadvantage is it's range, it seems to be very very low, even at 10 yards, in a wooden house, you might lose reception. I tried everything to improve it, from changing operation frequency ranges, to other settings, nothing changes.

- Version #3 is the one you want!
Ive read all about this router having so many problems.Then noticed some people with no problems.Why?It's all about which version you have-1,2 or 3.Just like me,version #3 is a perfectly running unit!Home PC(XP),PS3 and laptop(Vista) connected without any loss of signals or drop outs.Very easy set up without the need of the included CD.Versions 1 and 2 will likely give you some headaches,make sure to get version 3.
Rating: - PIECE OF JUNK....
I purchased this router so that I had wireless internet in the house for my daughter's laptop.It worked for about 10 minutes on my PC and her laptop after installing it.Over the past several weeks, I reinstalled, rebooted, changed settings that were suggested on the linksys forums, called customer service - which was horrible, etc, etc.After several weeks of not being able to get online unless I disconnected the router, I returned it today.What a piece of junk!
Rating: - The best wireless unit I have ever purchased!
First off, the price was right compared to local retailers I saved 30%.Second, I live in a three story log cabin and have spent who knows how much on trying to get wirelss to work in all the rooms in my home.If you are worried about range, don't.This product is the easiest to install and I finally have service in all areas of my home including out on the deck which I thought was impossible.I would recomend this to anyone.
Rating: - Sleek router with good wireless range
This Linksys is my first attempt at a wireless router. It was very easy to set up (I am not a very technical person) and has a sleek, slim design. I only have a one bedroom apartment but I get fast internet speed in every room on my Macbook. I've only had it for about a week but I would highly recommend it based on my experience so far.
