Product Description

The instructions and disk dont work. I was instructed by the first technician I got on their support line (which took 20 minutes) that there was another step that neither the disk nor the instructions disclosed or ran. I ran the step and it didnt work, so he transferred me to someone else. This more “highly trained” person insisted that, although my wireless modem could connect to everyone’s network but my own, that it must be my modem and not their router and that it was not their problem. I have called 5 more times and still yet to get anyone competent and even get through in under 20 minutes. I plan to return the router and avoid linksys products from now on.

This is a bad company. I purchased a wireless router from them and, truth be told, it never really worked right. The speed was ok, but it was impossible to set up without tech support and every so often it would simply stop working. When that happened I would be forced to call tech support and spend 30-60 minutes on the phone fighting with them about resetting the router. I recently purchased a new computer and decided to save a little money by moving this router to it. When I called tech support I was told that the router was out of its warranty period and they could not help me… unless I would pay them to. That’s right, I would have to pay for the assistance on their product – a working product because it was not under warranty.
So be warned that you are only buying the option to use Linksys’ products for a limited time – that is if you have any problems whatsoever that require tech support. I am now trying a Trendnet. Let’s see if they are any better.

This router is expensive and unreliable. It frequently locks up, resulting loss connection, which required adaptor disconnect and reconnect. This happen almost every other day. I am very disappointed with this product.

I bought this router thinking that it would give the extended range over the Linksys WRT54G I had been using. I had thoughts of using the old router as a access point. I installed the software, plugged in the router, and everything was fine, initially. I noticed a couple of disconnects from the Internet, but thought nothing of it. Until the second day. I lost Internet connectivity three times. Each time, I was able to get it back by unplugging the cable modem and the router, then plugging them back in in sequence. Oddly, a couple of times my laptop still had connectivity wirelessly, but my wired desktop, the main computer, didn’t.
Finally, the last time, I lost connectivity and was not able to get it back. I plugged back in the WRT54G, and everything has been fine. In fact, I am now using my Apple Airport Express as a range extender access point. I am sending back the N router.
I gave up on tech support. They were sure it was a problem with the cable modem. How strangely coincidental that my cable modem, which hasn’t failed me in four years, suddenly started acting strangely with the installation of a new Linksys router.
