What's great about it: easy to set up, fast, small
i just got this new router after my old one (linksys) finally after years of service died on me. i got this because like many of you i have a lot of gadgets (3 iPhones, iMac, playstation 3, laptop and smart tv) all on one wireless connection. i gotta say right out of the setup this this is fast and i am no longer noticing that i half to fight for bandwidth with the other people in my house to use my electronics. if you have demanding electronics this is the easiest to set up and use. simply put in the instal disk and it does all the work for you.

I must say that I am pleased with this product so far. I have had no issues with it other than the installation with Win7, which took awhile to work correctly. This is my second linksys router. I bought this one after my NETGEAR N600 Dual Brand stopped working after 9 months which was my first mistake. I should of known better, not to buy anything other than a Linksys product.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, moderate price
What's not so great: Nothing so far
I bought this router about a month ago. Until then, I was using an ethernet cable to route to my computer. I have to admit that my brother set it up for me, because I was busy with other things, not because I couldn't do it myself, but it took him all of about 15 minutes, and he doesn't have any special skills with technology. I am very pleased with the router. Now I can use Netflix and other channels on my Wii, and I can actually easily move my laptop to another location, and when my nieces come over they can use their iPod touch. I'm sure there are other uses that I haven't even considered yet. I'm using it in a 1200 square foot apartment, and so far, I haven't had any signal problems.
I'm definitely happy with this purchase.
