Linksys Failed Me (Again)

by Andyman Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 15 '07
Pros: Signal strength good throughout my house, PC&Mac compatible, handles my work VPN fine
Cons: Flaky! Connectivity goes up and down all the time.
Up again, down again, up again This router has been flaky, flaky, flaky since the day I bought it. I use it with a pair of Linksys wireless-G cards, inside a 2 bedroom apartment, and while signal strength is usually "good" or better, I am ...

Worth every penny

by ernietwerbel , Jul 30 '06
Pros: Easy to set up, reliable, versatile, and affordable.
Cons: None
I finally convinced my parents to join the digital age, so upon building computers for them I had to start looking for a network card in order to share the DSL connection. After much researching along with the advice of some friends, I purchased the ...

I don't honestly know what to think about this thing

by jn_owensboro , Sep 01 '07
Pros: Excellent signal output when it works right
Cons: It has to be reset and reconfigured CONSTANTLY
When I bought my new Acer laptop computer a few months ago, I decided I had better get a wireless router, otherwise the advantages of the laptop would be pretty well useless. Why buy something you can carry around the house if you have to be tethered to ...

Excellent Wireless Router
by atomopawn ,Feb 23 '08
Pros: Works great with Linux and Mac. Stable and reliable. Strong signal. DD-WRT/OpenWRT compatible.
Cons: Not 802.11n. Hard to configure DHCP in default firmware to allow static addresses.
This Linux based router is one of the best routers on the market. It has a very strong signal (we can pick it up all over our large house) and can be upgraded using either the DD-WRT or OpenWRT firmware.

I'm not too enamoured of the default web interface. But that is minor.

Have to reset it every 2 hours
by maxsok ,Mar 10 '07
Pros: When it works the signal is good
Cons: Have to reset it several times a day
This router drops connection every two hours or so, and I have to manually reset it by unplugging the power cord. I thought that it was my fault and I set something up incorrectly, but today I saw several reviews on Amazon with the same problem for this and other Linksys routers. I did try to flash the firmware and even tried third party software but nothing helps.
