    Good signal. No mounting options other than flat on a desk top(it's gone flying more than once) Needs signal indicating the eq at the other end is working - sorry Netgear had that years ago.

    My Wireless is Much Faster

    I bought this Linksys Router with some skepticism, but I was only getting 5mbps up/down through my Verizon wireless router but buyint 25mbps up/down. When I replaced it with the Gigabit router, I was immediately getting up to 23mbps, so there's very little loss in speed when using wireless instead of ethernet. This is great for my household, where we often have five to eight devices accessing the Internet simultaneously. Oh, and at a little over $120, the price was right.

    Great connection if you live in a multi story house. It extended my internet connection to the 3rd floor while being placed in the basement. I game quite a bit and it delivered perfect gaming connection. Good quality product for medium sized houses.

    Easy to set up even for someone who doesn't really understand the difference between various routers. Internet Signals in my 6,000 sf home with multiple tv's and computers is easy to find in any room. Good purchase for our family.

    I was using the router provided by Comcast and was only able to utilize 12mbps out of the 30mbps I was paying for when using wifi. However, with the Linksys I was able to optimize my wifi connectivity and ensure a consistent speed of 30mbps using wifi.

    Works great in all rooms - in a three level house

    We were almost overwhelmed with the options when shopping for a router. The very knowledgeable Best Buy employee did an outstanding job of explaining this router - as well as several others. We were told it would probably work - depending on the thickness of our walls, etc. It was very easy to set up and works great. It is on the top floor of our three level house....and works fine all the way to the lower level. We haven't been in the house long - but so far no dead spots. I highly recommend this router.
