    Great price and great for basic users

    I have a relatively small apartment and just use my laptop for basic general use mostly, but I also hook it up to my HDTV and watch programs on it, and this router works perfectly. And, it was super easy to set up the security feature. So glad I didn't spend a lot more for something that would work just as well as this one.

    Bought this for my daughter's apartment while in college. I was easier than i expected to set up, I have done a few of these in the past and had to do more work so i was pleasantly surprised with how little i had to do to get connected. My daughter is happy and so am I. We needed it because the complex had free internet that was wide open and first week there her email was hacked. Had to lock it down and this did the trick and also gave her wireless ability.

    I bought this router 2 days ago and was surprised by how easy it was to set up. I was connected in minutes and had a great connection throughout the apartment. However lately it has been dropping a lot. It seems to be getting worse and worse no matter what time of day I use it. I will be going back to Best Buy to exchange this for another router.

      Hi Afua,

      There are a lot of factors that cause intermittent connection. These are:

      •Low signal quality received from your wireless router
      •Frequency interference from other wireless devices
      •Physical obstructions
      •Mismatched router and adapter settings
      •Computer adapter's driver needs to be upgraded
      •Power outage

      To avoid this, changing the wireless channel will help. Also, make sure that the router is located in a less interference area or on a higher location.

      Here are some links that you can check:

    For the value, it's a perfect product. The range in reception reaches all corners of a small apt. I can only imagine that it would function just as well in a single family home or small office. Installation was quick and without fail. I would recommend this router to anyone.

    For $30 this is a pretty good deal. Even if you are not tech savvy, this router is very easy to set up. Had it for about 2 month now and so far no problems.

    I bought this to replace my modem/router combo because the router part of it wasn't working for s***. This was easy to set up and I haven't had any issues using the wifi on my laptop, PS3, wii, or smartphone.

    It works on everything I have other than one laptop where it continued to drop the connection. It may be the laptop vs. the router but it is very frustrating. The devices it does work on are smokin' fast.

    Middle of the road

    It works but it took me an entire day to get it connected. I don't know what the problem was. It was a gift for my parents and I was within 30 minutes of taking it back. No instructions with it and instructions online weren't readily accessible because kept losing connection with desktop to try to get this to work. When I connected my router at my home it was up and running in about 5 minutes! I don't know if it is the modem/router connection, the DSL provider or the new laptop but this was not easy. Eventually it worked on day 2 with another 2 hours. Total connection time about 10 hours. Online help not helpful either. In the end I stumbled across the solution but I have no idea how to replicate it.

    Literally took it out of the box. Plugged it in. Found the wifi on my computer and put in the provided password. Did not need the CD at all that was provided. Great reach! laptop picks up strong signal even out in the backyard.

    Router does what you expect it to do, easy to install, no connection issues. Sometimes network discovery is slow, and it does not have all of the config options of top of the line routers, but has a clone MAC address option, which allows me to connect directly to my cable service which blocks routers with MAC addresses of competitors in order to charge a rental fee for using theirs.

    This router had handled multiple devices while streaming Netflix hd. My only complaint was that the provided cable was defective so the router wouldn't setup. Used my old cable and worked like a charm. The range is fine for my 3000sq foot house.

    My old linksys was almost 10 years old so this one replaces it well. It was pretty easy to install and work pretty well. Then again, it's being compared to 10 year old router, he he. Pretty good product for the money.

    Bought this because of limited internet connection in apartment. The places of the connection were not convenient to sit at the computer. Set it up by following the instructions and it works great. Very happy with what I got for the price.

    I bought this for my Mom who is not computer savvy - I connected the cables (that were included) and plugged in the power. It worked right out of the box. The router came with a security key as well which was a plus! I was able to connect the Kindle Fire and a laptop without a problem.

    I had a little trouble with the installation because I didn't follow the instructions and really messed it up. Tech support walked me through undoing what I did and installing it properly. I set up a second one following the instructions...no problems that time. Works great and not too bad a price.
