This router was the worst purchase I have made in a long time. I paid almost full price for it several months ago and have regretted it everyday after the first week. I have to reset it at least once a day everyday and often more than once a night. In order to keep it running, I have to have a desktop fan pointed directly at it or it quickly overheats. Right now the room is at 71 degrees and I have had to reset it 3 times in the last hour.

I don't know what to say about installation of this router. After reading all the reviews about how inadequate the instructions are, I bought it anyway as the reviewers were doing complicated things I didn't want to do.So I followed Cisco Connect and the router couldn't connect to the internet. The error message told me to reset the modem. When that didn't work, the error message told me to click "need more help," which gave me a link to the Linksys website. Duh!Not only that, but the CD contained the FAQ document, but when I went to get the user guide, duh, it tried to take me to the website.In all this I noticed a light blinking on the modem and called the cable guy. The light was ok, but he reset the modem and gave me a number to call Linksys. I was preparing to do so, and when I looked at the screen again it said "Internet connected."So was this an easy setup or a hard one? It took all day and left me confused about what I had.As for functionality, we have better security, faster speed, and much better range. I walked down to my brother's house 4 houses away and was able to get to the internet. The device looks good,but the case has a super glossy surface that is an uber-dust-magnet, so much so that when I tried to wipe the dust off it just moved around.

I purchased this device to connect to my LG 32LD550 32-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Internet Applicationswhich was purchased at Costco on clearance. This was a GREAT purchase btw, and the price on Amazon has since dropped. This device easily replaces the LG AN-WF100 Wi-Fi USB Adaptor which was suggested for the tv and never worked for me.I use a D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Gigabit Wireless Routerthat is excellent for broadcasting to every room in our house except for our master bedroom. We have an older block house, with our bedroom being farthest from the omni-directional antennas. Honestly, we have tried everything to get this TV to work in our bedroom!I tried initially just to use the LG Wireless Adapter, then I bought an extension for it, and then I tried installing a new antenna (Alfa 9dBi SMA OMNI-Directional High-Gain Screw-On Swivel Antenna for Linksys - WET54G, WET54GS, WMP54G, WET11, WRV54G, WMP11 PCI Card, WPS11, WRT54GC also for Netgear - FM114P, FVM318, FWG114P, MA311, ME101, ME103, WG302, WG311 and WG311T) but that never really helped. Finally I found heaven in a box with this little device. It's compatible with my Draft N protocol and it zips right through all LG's online resources, specially helping us watch movies and TV shows on Netflix without any broadcasting or synchronizing or downloading issues.I highly recommend you save your money and buy this device! It was easy for me to setup and we were watching Netflix within minutes...

Perhaps the other 5 star reviews haven't used this long enough. Trust me, you are better off to just spend the 20-30 extra dollars for a better wireless adapter. Mine will cut out, and not cut back in constantly, I've literally reverted to just using my cell phone as the modem because this thing is so inconsistant and since my cell phone works I know it isn't my router. It will stay connected perfect for about 2 days and on the third it will cut out and i'll have to unplug it and plug it in several times and restart my computer just to get internet again. Sometimes, I have to reinstall the software just to get it to kick back on.You get what you pay for.

Even within 10-15 feet I couldn't get throughput of more than 6.5 MB - and that's if I was lucky. Can't even stream Pandora reliably.

I read all of the reviews and honed in the the mention of heat and blue led lights. I actually purchased another router(Belkin 600) and returned it after two days because the set up with Win7 was a pain in the neck. More importantly, the tech support was terrible. The tech just gave up after about 3 minutes. I decided to give Cisco a try because I've had two of their routers that worked flawlessly previously. I live on the coast and the climate is moderate. I have not noticed any excessive heat. I have three computers and a sling box adapter connected to it. The blue led lights remind me of the Christmas led lights,by nature, they are bright, but I do not have the router in my bedroom, so it's a non-issue. I contacted tech support regarding the guest router setting and the tech answered my questions within 3 minutes and send me a copy of our chat.I am very happy with my purchase and trust the Cisco brand.

After losing the WRT300N to power surge, switched to a Comcast provided Netgear WRN1000 which was absolutely a nightmare with drop signals. After two days, I researched and bought this top of the line Linksys. It's a dream to use. We have a large house and signal to our downstair masters is normally 1 bar, and required a range extender. Download speed was at best 2Mbps, now with E4200, it's nearly 20Mbps!!! And this speed is retained throughout the house! It's amazing consider the router is upstairs inside a room. The plug in speed at Comcast modem is 26Mbps down and 4Mbps up. E4200 retains about 20Mbps/3Mbps throughout the 6000SF house, even in the back patio. This is absolutely the best router out there. I am donating the range extenders tomorrow, as I won't ever need them again. It felt so good to have high speed WIFI, instead of trying to point my laptop for the best signal strength. Great to have my time back from waiting for things to load.

I'm in the same boat as another reviewer. I replaced my router with a Linksys AE2500, bought a new modem (Motorola Surfboard SB6120) and purchased a Linksys AE2500 adapter for my wife's computer upstairs. Everything about the setup is rock-solid except this AE1200.Intermittent connectivity issues. Unplugging and replugging fixes the issue, but this adapter just isn't worth the hassle. I would also note that I'm running Windows 7 (32bit) on a fresh install and the computer is only 10 feet from the adapter. There shouldn't be any issues.Spend the extra money for the AE2500. I'm having no issues with that.

I had an experience similar to several reviews I've seen. The bridge just wouldn't maintain a connection to the router; not even to get through initial setup. I spent some two hours on the phone with exceptionally helpful Cisco/Linksys support and they finally gave up, concluding that the unit was defective. Based on the product serial number they also believe the unit I received from J&R was an rather old one that had been on the shelves for quite some time. As I was repackaging the device for return, I noticed some small scratches on it and I'm suspicious it might have been used previously. I'm returning the device but after paying for shipping and a restocking fee it's pretty much a complete loss of the purchase price. Not more purchases from J&R for me.

I bought this to use with my D-Link DIR-815 dual band router. This adapter is advertised as a selectable bridge - so you should be able to choose if you want to connect to a 2.4 GHz network or a 5 GHz network. It connected well to my 2.4 GHz network using WPS, but couldn't even see my 5 GHz network. I spent about 2 hours on the phone with customer service asking them how I select the 5 GHz network, but you just can't do it. It's not really selectable - it just defaults to one frequency or the other. It was easy to install but not compatable with the 5 GHz band on my router. I bought a DLINK bridge instead, and it works great with my 5 GHz network. It is much faster.Here's my advice: This product may work for you if you use a CISCO router or use only a 2.4 GHz network. But if you have a DLINK router or want to run a 5 GHz network, DON'T BUY THIS. Buy the DLINK DAP-1522 instead.

We got this unit because it would "talk" to our Sony Bravia TV via our Linksys E2000 router so we could watch internet/streaming television. Setup was easy and straight forward. I used the included software setup CD although from what I have read, a lot of folks don't bother with the CD. The written documentation is clear and concise. Setup and install went without a hitch. We did find that at peak hours, our ISP does not deliver the bandwidth to watch Netflix movies, but that is NOT the fault of the bridge. The unit is small and unobtrusive, showing 3-4 small blue indicator lights when operating, but these are not distracting and the unit could be hidden out of sight if preferred. I checked 'reliablity' with 0 stars as I have no idea what the reliability/longevity will be.However, we had a Linksys WRT54g router that worked it's butt off for the past 5+ years with NO problems.We have never had a problem with a Linksys product. All-in-all,easy to setup and operate. I would recommend this product to a friend.

This product was incredibly easy to set up and configure. Insert the CD, follow the on-screen prompts and your router will be set up in less than 5 minutes. It even creates a default SSID and Password. It took me longer to think of the SSID and Passwords for the main and guest accounts than it did to actually set it up. All devices linked to the new network (including new SSID/Password) with minimal configuration - that includes multiple laptops, multiple hard-wired PCs, a Verizon Wireless Network Extender, a printer, Wii and Tivo. The Tivo took me a little longer because the Wireless-N device for the Tivo is fussy.... until I realized that they had tried to make it easy for me. Once I realized that I could push a button on the Cisco E3000 and then push a matching button on the Tivo Wireless Device, they then synched up to each other with no further action required on my part.Ease of setup garners 5+ stars for this product. Range is good in a 2,800 square foot home including my home office upstairs opposite side of the house, and Tivo in the basement. I love that devices can connect at both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz on the same router.

Bought this Cisco 3000e thinking get the top unit and i'll be ok. Installing the router was easy. Ran from the CD CISCO CONNECT software. Pretty easy. My old Dell D810 with a Intel Wifi chip connected easy. my IPad, iPhone, and ITouch were easy. My HP wireless InkJet printer was a snap. But, and here is the but. My Compaq Presario 770US laptop has a Atheros wifi chip. Well, I found out that there is a major conflict with Atheros wifi chips and all Cisco wireless routers. Tried everything, driver update to on line chat with Cisco tech support. No luck couldn't connect the Compaq. So I had to go out and buy a Cisco 1000E USB network unit. It installed in te Compaq in a snap and I get blazing speeds from the wi-fi connection. but it cost me another $50. Now, I am going out to but a wireless HP laser jet color printer. I hope it installs to the network like the old inkjet. By the way I also installed a IPCamera wirelessly with this router so I can spy on my dog from anywhere with my iPhone. The Foscam IPcamera was one of the most difficult installs I ever did since I been around computer and networks, greater than 27 years. But I got it done and it works like a charm.

this worked great when we got our blu-ray player (a sony)... then after about 4 months, it constantly loses the connection and we have to reset it using the computer. NOthing else in the house loses the connection, and after reading other forums and such, we aren't the only ones having this issue. Customer service says it's a network issue, but I have no other issues with the network, so I'm about ready to chuck this out he window and update it with another brand... I paid way more than the price is listed on the site now, and am thoroughly unhappy with the product I received.

I have owned an E3000 for over a year and this router has numerous problems. Most notably the router slows down your internet speed over time. The problem is temporarily resolved if you turn the router off then turn it back on again, but over time the internet connection slows down again. If given enough time (3 or 4 days) my internet will slow from 10MB/s to 1MB/s. I can isolate the issue to this router by running a speed test online and then comparing the results to the speed of my internet connection if I plug my computer directly into my cable modem. If you want to find more just do an internet search of "E3000 is slow" and you find hundreds of forums discussing this waste of money router.

This device works perfect with newest firmware. I use heavy traffic with many gameing machines and have it directly connected to a switch. Sometimes it dumped the network so I put a small usb cheap laptop cooler underneath it to pull away hot air and it has been stable for months. I had it set to maximum performance as a additional note on N wireless.The original firmware was so slow and I was testing this thing non stop different settings was a nightmare... thankyou Linksys for the speed firmware update!!!!Still using this unit for what seems like forever in tech years. I would never want to replace this adapter it works like a bull, strong like Ox!!! lol

I purchased the Cisco E3000 a year ago. After setup, it performs great, but then it starts to drop the Wi-Fi connection shortly afterwards. It takes some tweaking, rebooting and reconnecting to get this POS to perform as it should, but it is quite unreliable.After a 9-month hiatus, my roommate and I changed broadband providers and chose AT&T U-Serve, which comes with its own wireless router, which works on the b/g band. We added the Cisco E3000 router to it, and, as before, it performed fine...until yesterday, when it started to drop the Wi-Fi connection, and today too. After disconnecting this crappy Cisco POS, and reconnecting it after 30 seconds, the Wi-Fi connected fine. Let's hope it holds.I paid $150 for this stupid router. I wouldn't pay more than $60 if it were new. Cisco, you ripped me off.

I had this adaptor for a while. It worked perfect on my att dsl modem. When I switched to att uverse internet (2wire the modem) it stop working. For some reason WET610n doesn't link with the 2WIRE. I tried to call technical support, but they want to charge around $50 to look into this problem (and i read from another guy form that he had the same problem, but technical support couldn't fix his problem!), so I decided to cut them off. I'll not buy their products anymore!update: i managed to make it work. They had an update(finaly). After I installed it, I managed to make it work after 2 hours of work. Now it works with no problems. Buy it just in case you have to do it. Very hard to install and make it work with 2wire. At least it was hard for me, it might be something wrong with my modem./

If you are buying this router because, like me, you were assured that the USB port on the back of the router could be used to make a printer a network printer, forget it. The only thing that USB port is good for is a hard drive or some entertainment system stuff.I purchased my router at Micro Center in Westbury, NY because I was told by the store staff that the USB port would work to hook up a printer and make it a network printer, that nothing else was required. Apparently that store's staff doesn't know their product, but that's an issue I will take up with them.So I went to the Cisco on-line tech support chat. And the person I got there went through his little script, and suggested every kind of "fix" he could see, even though nothing worked. Apparently Cisco's tech support people are not aware of the attributes of their own products.Repeated e-mails to Cisco keeps getting me the same boilerplate canned answers that I should go to their website for answers. The same website that sends me to the e-mail site for an answer to my questions. Sort of an extended loop.The design is poor, the tech support is abysmal, and obviously I can't configure it to do what I need.Now of course I'll have to go and buy a printer server, which I was assured in the store I would not need.Don't waste your money on this.

This product is great for bridging your ethernet ready products. I have not had it long but it functions according to spec. Installation was not easy. DO NOT FOLLOW PRODUCT GUIDE!! The setup says to connect this product to the router for the install but by doing that when it comes to the wireless part, the router wouldn't connect it wirelessly because it was already hardwired to the router!! You must connect this to the laptop as in the amazon video guide and setup that way following amazons video guide.Also this device refuses to recognise one of my older netgear routers that I use as a wireless repeater. Maybe the old router is too old but its annoying as its a long way back to the main router so my signal strength is only 1%. Wonder if it will stay connected with that? Fortunately I use it to make a printer wireless so speed is not important.I would imagine that using this device close to a newish router would be ideal and give good results for streaming.Update: Used for 10 months now and have finally given up on it. It has a poor reception and is difficult to connect to the router and often drops connection. I bought the new Netgear 900Mbps router and this just wouldn't work well with it so I bought the Netgear WNCE3001 bridge which does the same thing as this bridge but connected perfectly with no issues.

This router has excellent range and seems to be much faster than my previous wireless-N router. I like the gigabit lan, but I only have couple minor criticisms: It doesn't seem to support jumbo frames (No biggie for me, but maybe for some others who want to squeeze out a few more Kbps), and it would be nice to have DD-WRT for those of us who like more of an enterprise class feature set. For the average home user, the Cisco setup wizard and simpler interface makes this a good choice. I like the look of it as well. Others have commented that it runs hot, although I have not noticed that at all. I run Trendnet Gigabit NICS on every PC in my network and this thing autonegotiates at full 1Gbps without a hitch.UPDATE 9/13/11: The router is now supported by DD-WRT. Definitely flash it. I noticed a marked difference in performance, and the radio signal strength can be tweaked with the open-source firmware. I concur with those who have pointed out that the unit slows down and has to be rebooted in order to get back to normal speed. The simple fix is to disable UPnP. Problem solved. The router now stays fast, and has excellent range.
