Runs hotter than I would like and even with the latest firmware does not handle DHCP properly.Also, no update available from linksys for this model to address the serious WPS vulnerability.Other than that it's perfect.....

I have returned this item once, only to find that after hours of LinkSys support and waiting for a replacement, then more hours of linksys support, it just does not perform well for all devices.I have some devices it works fine with (Hardware VPN Juniper box) I have an even longer list of devices that it has issues with. If you plan to run a gamming device or Video device, it may work. Some descriptions of this device do not call it a bridge (generally) rather call it a gamming video adaptor. I did not buy it for that after a presale call to Linksys and being told it was just a bridge and would work for any ethernet device.But does not, they have offered to replace it a second time, by saying, and I quote; "maybe the whole lot was bad". I am doubtful, I think it was designed to work with a single device that passes binary data, mostly, like a game or video, but definitely not a bridge for any device as some marketing says.I also noticed that the device, while it has it's own IP address, seems to show up with the WET610N Mac address but with the IP address of the attached device to it. Maybe that is why I can only access the WET610N configuration using its IP address from the device attached, but not from another device on the access point side.I would not expect the WET610N mac address to be used with the MAC address of the attached device, rather it's own.My advice: Maybe believe the video game description(you'll have to try it yourself), but not any other description of it being a bridge.

After having owned many single band routers, it was time to upgrade to a dual band model. I first tried the Netgear 3700. After using it for about a week, I returned it because of poor transmission speeds and messy firmware.Thankfully that week, the E4200 was released. As with other linksys routers, installation was a breeze. I use more than 15 networked items in my house. Using the included software to do the setup is very simple and straight-forward. Linksys really got it right with this model.This router is super fast compared to the netgear 3700. The NAS input for a USB storage devices is about 10 times as fast and the 5ghz band works better in my house on the E4200 than on the 3700.Range on the 2.4ghz band is great. I can pick up signal on my laptop two houses over. It is nice when you are at a neighbors house and are able to use your own internet connection at a decent signal strength.The 5gz band is not quite as strong but I was still able to pick it up one house over. For me, as long as I can sit poolside in the far back portion of my yard and get a strong signal, that is all that matters.I recommend this router to anyone who is looking to get the most up to date technology in a beautiful package.Only negative for me is the price point. I think we all have to suffer because of Cisco's huge margin requirements..

Simple device that does its job. I bought it to connect my DirecTv to my home wireless network because I didn't want to run cables from my living room to my computer room.Was easy to set up -the directions seemed clear and concise. Haven't had any problems with it in the ~6 months that I've been using it.

I bought this device to replace some a/b/g equipment as well as extend my network and provide a wired gigabit switch.I used manual setup to disable DHCP and set the network configurations to mimic what was in place. After some setup, everything provided a seamless and faster solution to my wireless devices. I am not using the USB connection so I can't comment on that operation.Solid and reliable -- that's what I was looking for and what I found with this product.

I just upgraded from the WRT54GL with the tomato rom running on it. I just wanted a router with a built in gigabit switch to replace it.Anyway, the installation was quick and pretty brainless. If you have seen one router config screen, you've seen them all. DHCP static ip's by mac address, wireless setup, etc all went really smooth. The range isn't much better (possibly a tiny bit worse) than the WRT54GL. But the speeds within the range of the router are unreal, I love it.I tried setting up the media share on there using a thumb drive (just to play around with it). It works...however the setup via the webpage is terrible and difficult to understand because they dumbed it down so much. It is honestly easier and makes more sense (for me at least) to set up Samba using SWAT on linux. But if you are just looking for an all in one, router/gigabit switch/NAS, this thing does the trick.Oh and it looks cool too... that blue edge in the back actually is set up like a spoiler on the back of a car. Completely pointless to mention that aside from that it looks cool haha.

Cisco-Linksys E3000 High-Performance Wireless-N Router This device works flawlessly and installed very easily with the Cisco installation. It never goes down and the best part about it is that it has gigabit connectivity but will also connect at 10/100. The router comes equipped with a USB port for storage so now every computer connected to the network has access to a network router. The Cisco software was a breeze to use. I highly recommend this router to anyone for residential and/or business use. Another really cool feature is the parental controls are fantastic. You can block computer on your network by name, you don't have to know their MAC address. You can limit the internet usage and/or website accessibility. It simply is the best router I've ever used.

Save your money -- find a different router.I bought this unit to replace my Apple Airport Extreme's which were giving me problems. I use Cisco products in my place of work and love them...so naturally I thought that maybe Cisco had stepped into Linksys and really given these consumer products a work up that would make them EXCELLENT....WRONG.This unit is easy to setup for a novice user as all you do is plug it in and execute some software with the included CD...cross platform software is included. The software basically finds the router, sets it up, and voila..you are up and running...for this I would give it 4 stars from a novice user standpoint.Advanced Users: Once you hit the web interface of the router to make changes, the included software no longer works and you cannot customize a GUEST wireless network....its either or. VERY disappointing.Range: The main reason I got this router was the range and speed it promised...I achieved none of those results. The range was sub-par as compared to my Airport Extreme and the speed even worst. I tested the router from about 30 feet away with both a Lenovo Thinkpad and a Apple Macbook Pro. At 30 feet I would get about 100+mbits of speed which on the Airport Extreme would register at 200+...this is on N networks in the 5ghz spectrum. That alone was a problem...so I figured let me reset the thing, make sure I have the latest firmware...etc. No help...Bottom line: Yes it is easy to setup, NO it does not have great range, and once you manage the router via the web interface the included software dos not work.I am giving this 2 stars only because it is easy for the novice user and because of its physical design...other then that I have no positives for the device.

Bad bad bad surprises with this router.First - I'm an uber-techie. Thought the E3000 would give my kids' friends some easy/safe wi-fi while they were at our home.Router was dirt-simple to install. Plug it play it, go straight to the admin page.But - noticed it runs really really HOT. (Like frying-bacon hot.) Heats up the desk area where it sits. Not "normal" hot here.And - big unexplained problem with the router performance. Turn it on, hit speedtest.net, everything works fine. But after a few minutes or hours (no firm rule here), it magically slows down. Doesn't matter which port you use on the device. All slow. Unplug from the E3000, go direct into my fiber-to-the-home Internet connection, and whoosh - all the speed is still there.Back to the Cisco E3000, slows down.Normally, I get 8-10 MBit/sec. Through the device (hardwired to my workstation), I get down to 700-800 KBit/sec. A factor of 1000 speed loss. Painful.Cisco support has no clue. Lots of waiting, lots of point to hundreds of the exact same complaint. They just don't know.Yes, firmware patched to latest (12/2010), no other devices on the Lan (or wifi), simple, very fast workstation, Win7, 12Gig RAM, multi-core cpu.But - bytes dribbling across the wire.Turn router off, on. Then comes back at full speed. But slows down again - unpredictably.Lots of speculation and "black magic" solutions out on the net. Nothing (NOTHING!) from Cisco.Bad router. Buyer beware!!JDMc

After months of reliable service this thing has all of a sudden stopped working and no amount of troubleshooting will fix it. Tech support for this is a joke; very scripted and they'll force you to go through the motions of things you've already done that you know won't work, and good luck getting a repair or anything else under warranty. GARBAGE. The website also stinks and it's riddled with grammar errors. Think "outsourcing."

I connected the router to modem and a power outlet, started the setup process and what? Boom, the setup was complete in less than 5 minutes. I was having difficulty having internet in my other rooms and with this router, now I get internet in all my rooms. I just had it up and running in the last few minutes, will update my review if I find anything new. I followed two of the instructions based on other reviews:1. set up the CD and let it run ( 5 ft away from the router)2. Don't change the userid and password during the initial setup.Good luck.

I should have listened to the other bad reviews for this router and not even bothered to order it. I took it out of the box and set it up by the directions, such as they were and finding out later that a couple of steps were left out. The wired section worked, but the wireless would not connect at first and and then after two hours on the phone with tech support it would connect and then disconnect at will.I spent over two hours on the phone with tech support and after they had no luck fixing the problem they basically finally told me that I needed to upgrade my brand new, two week old, Dell Studio 1458 laptop. I then called tech support the next day and got a limited connection but could not surf anywhere on the web and could not even access my gmail account. The internet was slower than the old dial up connections. The unit also got so hot I was afraid it would start a fire.I gave up and returned it. I installed a NetGear WNDR 3700 and within 5 minutes everything worked as promised and the wireless is so fast my laptop jumped off the desk. My wireless has never been as fast and I replaced a Linksys WRT160N "premium" router which died after one year and 20 days. Linksys would not even talk to me without me paying a "small" fee ($30.00) which I don't consider small and I had three service calls on that unit in the year I had it.Goodbye Linksys and hello NetGear for speed and ease of installation. I hope Cisco listens to the consumers and fianlly makes a reliable product. I apologize for being so harsh but I feel like the E3000 was misrepresented as a "High Performance Router" and it is far from that.

I bought this gaming adapter for use with my DirecTV DVR. DirecTV's on demand service is free as long as you have an nternet connection for the DVR. I chose to use a gaming adapter because I'd prefer to use wireless than run a Ethernet line under my house. The DVR has an Ethernet port but not a wireless adapter (obviously). I chose to go with a gaming adapter as opposed to a powerline adapter to cut keep down the amount of hardware that I have plugged into outlets/surge protectors and because I like WiFi. I've heard mostly good things about he powerline assorted, so if you're worried about a WiFi issue, like signal strength, that might be a better option.The adapter was easy to setup and worked right away. I do not like the software that Cisco provides with this or heir new Routers. I found it clunky and slow, mostly because it's trying to be too user friendly. That being said I've had this for about a month and haven't had a problem. It worked right out of the box, continues to work, is small, and cost less than icwould have had to pay in a local store. I have not tried it uet for streaming video, but based on how quickly it downloads TV shows and movies can't see that being a problem. I have watched a few things that we're in mid download without a problem, but i don't count that as streaming because they had a 5 minute or more headstart.After a recent problem returning something that I bought locally I can't think of any reason to buy a product like this in person again unless you need it the same day. Amazon is easy to return to, and the lower cost easily makes up for the return shipping cost if you simply don't like the hardware.

I have a Mac Pro (2x 2.66 GHz Intel Core Duo Xeon Processors, running Snow Leopard) that wasn't built with Wi-Fi connectivity. It wasn't a problem when the computer could be hard-wired, but my current living situation puts the computer some 30 feet away from the modem and wireless router. So, unless I wanted to trip over ethernet cables on my way to the kitchen, I had to find a wireless solution. Apple's Airport Cards for the Mac Pro were spotty at best and expensive when I could find one and I don't think there's a single USB Wi-Fi dongle out there that will work with Macs (other than the Netgear 300 offering, which is buggy at best).I started reading on the net and came across this device. I was skeptical about it working with my Mac Pro because most people are using it in a multimedia application (gaming, TV, BluRay, etc.). But, Best Buy had it in stock locally so I picked one up with the promise that it could be returned if it didn't work. In the same breath, I picked up the Linksys E1000 Wireless N Router because it was on sale and I needed a new one anyway (another story entirely).I brought it home, fired up the CD for the router and within about 5 minutes or less, it had created a wireless network with a funky name and crazy password. Another 10 minutes following the on-screen prompts delivered by the CD included with the adapter (or bridge as the Best Buy tech called it) and that was connected securely as well. Finally, a 30-second wire-routing mission to get the ethernet cable from the back of the bridge to the back of my Mac Pro and I was on the internet with speeds fast enough for everything I'll ever want to do.Linksys couldn't have made the entire process any easier and my Mac Pro seems to love the connection. I've only used it briefly, but in the several minutes I spent with it, it worked beautifully. They also include the ethernet cables necessary for hooking it up which is nice.The only drawback that I could see was the lack of more ethernet ports on the back of the unit. I would have liked to see at least one more port. However, a simple 5-port switch would take care of this and allow multiple devices to jump on (for instance, you're using this in the bedroom for a TV with an ethernet connection as well as a gaming console without Wi-Fi, you'll need a switch or you'll need to switch the cable every time). A really insignificant drawback at it's very worst.Other than that, this guy gets a 5 star review from me (the E1000 Wireless N Router is really nice and compliments the bridge well).

I bought the WET610N in February, 2010 to wirelessly connect my Directv HD DVR for Directv Cinema downloads. I had a terrible time getting this working. All seemed to go fine until I tried to download and Directv would alert there was no internet connection. After many hours, I just gave up and put the Adapter on the shelf. I recently replaced my rather ancient D-Link wireless router, having served me well for many years, with Cisco-Linksys E4200. Also a fine selection, I should add. With the E4200 installed, I plugged in the WET610N adapter, and I would say that within 2 minutes I was watching a downloaded video. The setup process was incredibly simple,clear, and efficient and I am very happy with the adapter. My point in writing this review, following reading many negative reviews describing similar problems I encoutered setting up the WET610N, were solved in a few minutes when synchronizing with a router, a router with a corporate relationship.

Initially I would have rated this router much higher but since I have owned it since October, I have had nothing but problems with it.Had very high hopes for this router. On paper it was I needed to stream HD content throughout my house and provide a network connection to my WD HD TV LIVE HD streamer.Pros:Dual band 2.4ghz/5ghzEasy setup,N band gigabitCons:my wireless network would quit working several times a week and need to be rebooted from the web interface.When I would cold boot (with the on/off switch) the router or if got unplugged it would lose ALL of its settings and need to be totally reset up (port forward settings, wireless setup, username/password, etc...)It gave me the dreaded flashing power button and died only two and half months after purchasing it. This problem could not be fixed.I followed the instructions to unbrick the router and nothing would work. I was not even upgrading the firmware (Which is a known cause of bricking these units). I was being used normally and all of the sudden died. Upon calling tech support, I was offered a refurbished unit (which is selling for $100.00 on Amazon), after I just paid $179.00 for a brand new one. Plus I have to pay the shipping to send it back.Hate to say this but I will certainly not being anything else from this company in the future. I stopped purchasing Linksys products because there were very unreliable and buggy. When Cisco came into the picture I decided to give them another shot.Use this review as your warning... same crappy equipment different packaging and name on the packaging. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ROUTER.Google flashing power button + E3000 and see that this is not an isolated incident.

This router is worth the cost. Initial setup is so easy. Once connected to internet, you can easily setup to 2.4ghz, 5 GHz and Guest with different user-id and passwords. The security setting is all done automatically and you can easily change it if you want. Make sure to go to admin tab on web to do firmware upgrade. Wireless speed is really fast. Try using the Knowledge base. It has detailed explanations for novice users also.

I went through 2 of these before giving up when they stopped offering tech support without charging for it. Both the units (the one I purchased and the one they sent me to replace it) worked fine for the first 2 months but then the signal they put out would start dropping out and get worse and worse until they were basically unusable. Utterly useless and given that Cisco don't stand behind these products, evidently even they think they make crap products. Their Indian tech support was horrible as well.

Used to connect a DirecTV TiVO THR20 box to an existing linksys WAP54G wireless network. Configuration was fairly straightforward but found configuring the device by logging directly into it much faster than using the PC based software provided. It's been working for about a week now with no issues downloading content from DirecTV and viewing pictues or playing music from other networked devices over the LAN.

I have repalced my e4200v1 with this new model.I have two xboxes and a ps3 connected to it.The new model V-2 when I'm hosting a 18 player game on COD black ops it runs super smooth with no lag at all.THE V-1 had some slowdown during the game while hosting.Both models work well and I can say that the new processor in the V-2 is handling the load with ease,you'll be very happy if you pick one up.

E3000 paired with Linksys WET610N Bridge, desktop PC (wired) and laptop (wired/wireless by "G" and WET610N).Can be wall mounted but power cord on brick is only about 60 inches, so you cannot get "height".Update firmware from 1.0.0.1 to latest version otherwise some changes in router setting will not be saved, such as new WMM settings. Latest firmware adds WPA2 Enterprise to router and addresses "save settings" software bug.As other reviewers found out, you should initially use the CD setup disk. It will assign you a name and password, and change the name and password if you use the CD setup disk again. If you wish to disable the quest account it can only be done using the CD and not the 192.168.1.1 web access screen. If you have already changed your name/password or setup the router via the 192.168.1.1 web access screen and use the CD setup disk, it will change your name/password.Signal strength of the 5G is about 60% of the 2.4G.This unit does run hot. Maybe not hotter than my older WRT54GS but the older unit has vastly better ventilation with more cooling holes in TOP cover. Overheating problems experienced by owners of the E3000 seem to cause wireless disconnects many times a session. It must be a hardware problem as the new firmware does not address problem. I purchased the E3000 to upgrade the wireless network to the "N" standard as I do a lot of Netflix video streaming. Problem is a recurring disconnect/connect issue with the router in both G and N using both Auto and assigned channels. Issue persists when using Mixed, G only, or N only networks. I do not have this wireless disconnect problem with two older Linksys "G" routers. This router case design needs better ventilation instead of looking cool and slick. Wired connections are as should be, wireless connection is "iffy" due to E3000 problems. On other forums Linksys tech support recommends E3000 not be left on 24/7. I really doubt that will solve heat related issues, my router is not on 24/7.

I have a number of wireless routers over the past 10 years. I really like the Linsys for their capability (range and configuration) but there was always reliability issues. The longest a Linksys router has lasted for me has been 2 years, which may actually be good. But this router failed within the first 4 months. THe problem it has and many of the Linsys routers in the last year is that it gets set to reboot mode and cannot get out of it. I tired resetting and worked with their (Cisco's)outsourced tech support in the Philipines, and they couldn't get it fixed. The result was they set up to send me a replacement for free. Well, it wasn't free. I had to pay the shipping, which took over a week when they said it would take 2 days. Then the replacement failed within the first week. I had to pay to ship both units back to them out of my own pocket to get a 2nd replacement. After $60 in shipping, I decided to give up and went with a Net Gear, which has proven to be very reilable. Ever since Cisco bought Linsys it has been down hill. I have read about it and hear about it from others. Their consumer products are inferior to other options in the market. I will avoid Linksys goign forward.
