    I purchased this for use in my apartment, and I have 3 pieces of equipment running off of it, and I haven't had any problems at all. It has been consistent, and I haven't had any issues with dropped signals. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy to use wireless router.

    We have a 3000 sq ft home... I have yet to see less than 2 out of 3 on the signal bar for any of the items I use from anywhere in the house. With 5+ items connected, speed seems to remain contain. Was easy and quick to install. We are very happy with our purchase!

    My old wireless router gave up the ghost. Had it for a couple of years, (it was always on), and things happen. Called my internet service advisor, and they said I need to replace it. I went to Best Buy, and found this one. It was a great price, and very easy to set up. Worked flawlessly. It's fast, and the coverage on our two story home is great. Highly recommended!

    I live in a college apartment complex for graduate school, and their Internet connection without an individual router is awful at best. My roommate bought this router and we maybe had one or two connection problems throughout the year, but they were easily fixed by restarting the router. I'd definitely recommend this router to anyone living in a similar situation!

    For the price, the router is a good value. It is somewhat slow if you multiple devices are running simultaneously. The range is sufficient for an apartment or small home. Definitely worth the price for a first router, or if a lot of data is not needed for transfer.

    A Little Less Range than Expected

    This was an easy transition from an earlier Linksys WRT54G model; the set up pages are very similar. The range seems a bit less with the E1200 since we lose the connection more often from a moderately distant to our most distant location. In close the connection is solid. The WRT54G had two adjustable antennas that I could optimize for vertical and horizontal coverage. I can only guess at antenna orientation within the E1200 case, and all I can do is place the case in different positions and locations to improve transmission. The other option I considered was the Apple Airport Extreme with its 6 antennas, but for cost saving, I'll fiddle with the E1200. I did notice the speed boost going from the G standard to N.

    Very simple, plug in & play setup. 4 stars due to internet connection falling out once a week or so. I think it's time warners fault but they deny it ... I don't know I just reset everything and usually it begins working again.

    When my old Linksys router died, I needed a new one. Installation was super easy. Then my router at work died, so I bought a second based on my previous experience. There were some glitches (not connected to the internet), but support fixed that problem, and I am running seamlessly with both routers.

    My old wireless G Router died. Went to my local Best Buy and was recommended a Dual Band Wireless N router. This one exceeds my expectations and then some. I can stream movies and download music with no issues or lag time.

    This was very easy to set up--instructions were very easy to follow. And all that Iwas worried about was the quality of the connection. It's upstairs in the house, and we are "downstairs livers", and we get great reception. No problem. Easy set up and works just fine.

    Haven't had the hardware long enough to delve into specifics or longevity, but it's quick to set up out of the box (under 4 mins) and will provide you with a decent signal throughout your house.

    This is a pretty basic unit. 8MB flash, 32MB ram, and 10/100 lab + n300 wifi. It works well and has a familiar Linksys web interface. Great affordable option for less demanding networks.

    If you are searching for a high performance router with additional features then you can go for this router. It can deliver most of what you would expect from a high-end router, such as superior performance, a long range and a nice set of networking features.

    I bought this router for my parents. They have one smart phone and one tablet in a house that isn't all that big. This router works great for them. No problems at all with staying connected or speed issues. Installation was incredibly easy.

    If you are not performing any complex or high volume home networking, you can save money on this router. Struggles a bit connecting to mobile phones, for some reason.
