Product Reviews

(4 stars) - Good simultaneous dual-band wireless router
Pros:
Never drops connection. Gigabit wired ethernet ports. Simultaneous dual-band allows for separating bandwidth for different purposes. 5Ghz band is great for media streaming, while the 2.4Ghz band can be used for general web surfing or other purposes. If you have guests and don't want to give them your security settings, you can assign simpler, separate, security settings to the 2.4Ghz band for them to use temporarily. An on/off switch. Good connection speed.

Cons:
Install tries to convince the user that they NEED Network Magic to setup/configure the router. The basic version is free, but the pro is not. Network Magic is not necessary to configure the product and I prefer the web-based setup anyway. I installed Network Magic only to uninstall it shortly thereafter because it is very 'noisy' with its popups and constant offers upgrade to the pro version. When using the 2.4Ghz band, it seems to connect only at G speeds(54Mbps)and not N(270-300Mbps). My older wireless adapter worked with my previous wireless router of the same brand at N speeds and the adapter is MIMO capable.

General Comments:
I have yet to use the media share capabilities through the available USB port. I think a better use of the router would be to connect a NAS (Network Attached Storage) to one of the gigabit ports and use that as a media library for a home theater system. Streaming video wirelessly to another device on the local network performed solidly. Other than the pesky Network Magic application, the web-based configuration is easy to manage. Those not familiar with wireless networks should spend a little time becoming familiar with different settings.

(5 stars) - Easy to set up; great operation
Based on reviews on a web site I got from Google (can't remember exact one) and Amazon customer reviews, I selected this router; set up went very smoothly; easily established link to laptop; and easily converted PC Desktop to wireless; have used for about 1 month with no problems

(5 stars) - Solid performance
I have purchased this router from Amazon directly 3 weeks ago. I was able to setup in 5 min. So far, it performed flawlessly. I only had once or twice drop in connection, however, I believe it had more to do with Intel wireless drivers on my laptop than the router. Overall pretty good performance.

(5 stars) - Dual N Band Wireless Router: Linksys
The up to date Dual N Band Router by Linksys meets the stated attributes by the company and it is very simple to set up a protected home network.
