Product Description

Product Description

The Access Point built into the Router uses the very latest wireless networking technology Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N s Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce dead spots in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 3 times farther than standard Wireless-G.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Wireless N Router, March 21, 2007

By	Brendan Corcoran (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This linksys N router is wonderful. It was easy to get up and running on the standard linksys firmware, which I later upgraded to DD-WRT [...]. I used the mini generic v24 beta version first, and then upgraded to the non-mini version, and now I have a FULL featured wireless N router.

One thing to note, DD-WRT reports this router as a WRT300N, so keep that in mind when you make your purchase :)

Other than this, the features are great, the price is right, and it's simply a solid router. Combine this with a gigabit switch and you'll have the best, most affordable home network.

1.0 out of 5 stars DD-WRT Firmware Solves the Freeze Issue!, February 4, 2008

By	Lotto (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

Team,

My WRT54G died on me and I ran out and bought a 150N without reading the reviews. I have version 1.1 and with the latest firmware 1.0.1.9 from Linksys, this thing drops internet connection on both wired and wireless connections. I decided to investigate to see if it's a hardware or software issue. It turns out to be software as I am using DD-WRT v24 RC-6 (01/02/08) mini - build 8743 and all my connections issues are gone. My router is now stable and I can say that this is a nice device. If you are having issues, give DD-WRT a shot, you'll thank me later.

I will send information on this to Linksys so hopefully they can get decent firmware out soon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hardware Great... Tech support is worse than HP! That's bad., May 15, 2007

By	BIGGY "Big Ed" (Midlothian, VA) - See all my reviews

I bought this for $109 (not on amazon). Got it up and running in 10 minutes but Nintendo DS and PSP wouldn't recognize it. Spend 2 hours with 4 Linksys support guys (poor English and they just disconnect from you if they don't know the answer or if their algorithm fails). All 4 tech guys said it was both Nintendo and Sony's fault that the network wouldn't recognize them. Finally I gave up on Linksys tech... applied the latest firmware update to software and rebooted and it worked (NOT suggested by tech support). This is my 3rd wireless network. So if you think you'll need tech support, DO NOT buy this until Linksys gets a clue that tech support is important.
