I bought the access point since our cable modem connection is in a office room and needed to connect to our HDTV SONY XBR in our family room. I already have a Linksys WRT160N router(160mbps rating) since about 2 years old, the whole system setup with the CD ROM took about 15 minutes to get going. Probably one of the easiest setups of any electronics products I have done in the last couple of years. We got rid of the standard NetFlix account and now using the wireless service only. No problems with the streaming video at all. I'm very happy how Cisco has pulled of the ease of the integration of their products.As a side note: with the Linksys WRT160N router I get a consistent 130-144 Mbps on both laptops that have Intel wireless cards. One is running Vista and the other is running Windows 7 as well as to our HDTV. Linksys now has the newer 2000 and 3000 series that get 300Mbps capability so I would think that those routers work even better.

Hook up was pretty easy though the cd did no work. Performance is good. Reason I bought this to gain extra coverage for portions of the house where I had issues and this does do the cut perfectly.

This wireless adapter is great and it's not just for gaming. I'm a contract IT service provider and I use these things a lot. I use them to take a standard network printer and make it wireless so I can locate it in more convenient places (power outlets are much more plentiful than data jacks). I can also connect it to a small switch and get an instant network extension. The best part is once you have it configured it doesn't matter what you plug into it. You can switch devices at will and move them anywhere. Set up is a bit of a pain and I suggest skipping the automatic setup and configuring it manually, giving it a static IP just so you can keep track of it, especially if you use more than one. This new WET610 form factor is pretty but I prefer the older WGA600 form because it was a flat, square box that I could use a bit of double-sided tape to stick to the side of a printer or on a wall. Much neater. This new form can only stand on a table top. Overall, these adapters are stable, fast and easy to use. Makes my life simpler.

This is a great product, but the two bands don't work as expected. There is a slight delay when doing request. Gaming the same. When both bands are used, like facebook open and gaming, you will see that the delay increases a little bit.

I purchased this for the main purpose of restricting internet access during specific time and day and it works great!I consider myself a intermediate at networking. I've set up a lot for other people and I have to sayThis is the EASIEST Wireless Router I have ever tried!. 1. Connect Internet Modem cable to router. 2. Put in CD-ROM 3. let it run and auto detect. 4. DONE and connected wirelessly!Other routers are so confusing with all these technical terms and I don't bother touching them in fear that it will do something crazy!. This router has a simple easy to use User-Friendly Interface. It will not show you those technical features. (it does have advance setting) but if you are a beginner or don't want the hassle using the simple menu works just as fine!It will provide you network password so you can write it down and pass it on to another computer to connect.It has a Guest account you can turn off and onWhy have Guest account? Guests can only access the internet. they will not be able to access your network setting period! you don't want to give password to anyone.It has parental control. That is why I bought it. You can setup to allow internet access/deny at your preferences. You can also type in a website addresses you want access denied.My brother stays up late on the internet sometimes and always go onto facebook so I blocked facebook.It also has USB in the back. This USB allow you to plug in a USB Storage and share it along the network.I store photos on USB drives and it can be access from any computer.I have windows xp and I connected a flash drive to the back, I went into "my network Places" and click on E3000 which will be there. Type in "Admin" for both USER and PASSWORD and was be able to access the files instantly! For info on Vista and Windows 7 setup Please refer to the cd-rom for user guideline. I have Windows Xp so I am telling you my own experience.

I have 2 bridges, one in the living room and one in the basement. Maybe my house is to large or maybe I have too many walls, but the bridge works in the basement well and in the living room works part time. I'm about 25 feet from the router (ES4200) for both of the setups. Today I'm going to hard wire the living room to the switch I have set up in the basement and set the bridge downstairs closer to the router eliminating the bridge in the living room. If that doesn't work, I'll hard wire to the router. Of course I bought the both bridges to eliminate the need to hard wire. I'm really putting it on the router. It's the best that Cisco offers for the home and the advertising lead me to this combination. Am I a happy camper, nope, not really.

Where do I begin? This is a very poor design. In order to use all of the features this claims to have you have to use their "Easy" Connect software for dummy's to configure the router and then configure the advanced settings using the regular method of connecting to the router with a browser. You cannot configure all of the settings using a browser (like the public hotspot). If you save any changes using a browser you can no longer use the Connect software unless you reset everything to defaults. Great thinking guys!!! I was hoping this would be fixed in a firmware update. I just flashed to the current level and all it did was break DNS forwarding which was previously working. They no longer have the old firmware on their download site so I am stuck with a crippled router. They keep on trying to make these things easier to install but they have now crossed the line and made this totally unusable for any who wants to use the advanced settings. The connect software does work but all it does is ask for a few simple wireless names and settings and that is it. And again, if you connect to it with a browser and save any changes you cannot go back to the Connect software and make changes to things like the public hotspot, etc. I believe they farmed out the design and support another company (and a poor one at that).To see how much Cisco really cares about the quality of this product just take a look their online users guide. There are probably a hundred screen shots of configuration screens that look like someone took with a very bad cell phone, not one of them is readable. I am actually embarrassed for Cisco. They are so big they no idea the quality of some of their smaller products has gotten so poor.The main reason I replaced my d-link router was to get better wireless coverage. The N-Wireless did improve, but just a little bit. The G-Wireless got much worse.If you just plan on installing a firewall and want to use the 2 minute setup and not really use any of the advanced features then this will work but you are much better off getting just about any other router out there in the $50 dollar range.And stay away from the 1.00.01 Firmware update.

I bought this Linksys E3000 router at Amazon.com on 15th of May 2010. I opted for free shipping but I've to wait for 10 days to receive it. Amazon.com doesn't really give you a break when it says free - you have to pay, somehow. I'm giving Amazon.com a 4-star rating for this. I did not use Cisco CD to set up the router, lest I might be one of those having horror stories. I may not be able to take advantage of what's in it. But if it's only about Parental Control & be able to give visitors safe access to my wireless network, this is not an issue for me. Linksys E3000 router does not have a very good range. The 5GHz is only good with LOS range but can not very well get through walls, hence in my case a very short range. Honestly, I measured 50 feet from 1st to 2nd floor rooms with doors opened. Beyond that my new MacBook which has a good range & can pick up my neighbor's wireless network could not reach my 5GHz, at 60 feet. I challenge Cisco to come to my house if the company does not believe me - Cisco is just next town from me. The 2.4Ghz has fairly good range. But my old WRT54G was much better because I installed extended antenna. This E3000 cannot have antenna extension, we are stuck with what it has. But speed is very good if connected. My PC desktop using Ethernet cable cat 5e or Cat 6, shows a speed of 1.0 Gbps. Wireless MACbook shows 300 mbps & 144 mpbs for the 2.4GHz.Today 09/01/10 I removed the installation instruction portion in this comments. And I am replacing it with my experience with this router since I bought it. It is horrible experience - I lost a lot of important Internet work. The router when it gets hot just drops connection. I placed underneath a CPU fan but when the whether gets to 85+ degrees the fan doesn't hold up & I would lose the Internet. I thought at first it was Comcast connection failure. In SF Bay area we seldom have hot days. When we do for few days it will take me to unplug the power for 30-60 minutes before I can power it up to get connected. No use plugging it back thought until the whether gets cooler. So folks it's your call .

I purchased this to replace an old Linksys wireless-G router. I had been very happy with the durability and ease of use of my previous router and decided to stick with Linksys. I am very pleased with this E3000 router as it has made a significant difference in the speed of the wireless devices I have connected to it. In addition to the primary desktop, I have a wireless printer, another desktop, a laptop, and XBox 36O all working off this router. With the old router, when on Xbox Live and playing games on the other desktop in the same room, the speed had been slow and sometimes either system would freeze up. This has not occurred at all in the two weeks since we have been using the E3000. The set up was extremely easy. The only additional step I hadn't anticipated, and had to research troubleshooting help to solve, was to have to reboot my Time Warner cable modem to get it to work with the new router. Other than that it was just plug and play!

I own two of these units for different areas of my house. One unit I purchased a year and a half ago and it's still running strong today. The second unit I purchased since I loved the reliability of the first one. I've tried other cheaper wireless gateways in the past and have been disappointed with performance and the need to cycle power. I have never needed to cycle these units. This device is well worth the cost. My only complaint is that Cisco marketing insists on calling the device a "gaming and video adapter."

Had a really bad experience with this one like so many others.It falls over like a one legged drunk trying to surf. Cisco support told me I had to pay them for support after wasting 10 mins of my time. After angry email exchanges they agreed to try tech support on it (the highlight of which was telling me it could not act as a cable modem - not that I would have tried). Tech support obviously know this is a turkey as she offered the usual firmware and reset advice, which I already had covered and set me up for a return.We'll see if they charge my credit card for the express return.In short DO NOT BUY this router unless you love speaking to customer support and being asked for more money.

I've used this router for nearly a year and have had very few issues. Once every several weeks I need to power it down and up again for failure to connect to the internet...what system for this cost doesn't require this? The range is very good...Netflix on an iPad at the far end of my house on the another floor looks great. We have 4 people in our household with wireless devices plus 2 desktops and an Apple TV2...it handles the load.

Update 10/31/10:This product has worked *flawlessly* for a year straight! Highly recommended without reservation!Update 10/2/09:New firmware update available from Linksys 8/31/09 (I went from 1.0.01 to 1.0.03 today). After applying new firmware, the reported signal strength increased significantly. So did the consistency and reliability of pings (previously would vary between 2ms and 410 ms as well as skip an occasional ping - now consistently below 5 ms!). I would recommend this product, but be sure to be running firmware 1.0.0.03. This update may address some (but not all) of the issues that previous reviewers experienced.Original review:Quick shipment from Amazon. As much as I dread Setup wizards, I used the wizard supplied on the CD-ROM, which I ran from my laptop, which is connected wirelessly via the wireless router. Connected bridge to router with the supplied straight-through Ethernet cable. The wizard quickly detected available wireless networks (I selected mine - not my neighbors'). Asked me for passphrase (it knew I use WPA2 encryption) for router (Linksys WRT54G), waited a bit, then wizard told me to disconnect bridge from router and then connect the bridge to my remote device (in my case - a home-theater-in-a-box) (HTIB) with an wired ethernet connection. A bit later, wizard announced setup finished. Instantly able to watch streaming Netflix and listen to Pandora on the HTIB.Prior to running wizard, I added the MAC address of the bridge (it's on the underside of the unit) to the allowed list of "PCs") on my router's list of allowed MAC addresses. Second, I ensured that I had a sufficient range of DHCP addresses dispensed by the DHCP server on my router (total of 3 - one for the laptop, one for the wireless printer, and now added a third for this bridge). Third, I had my router passphrase readily available to supply to the wizard.I think that since I was well prepared, the setup was flawless and quick. I totally understand why wizards are used - they're for novices to easily set up their stuff. In this case, I think it took the wizard less time to set up the device than it would have if I were to have chosen to set up the bridge manually (which is an undocumented option). A novice would have a struggle with a manual setup, I'm sure.Signal strength on the bridge indicates to be a bit weak for business use, but for home use, it's working great for my sole application. One could certainly add more devices on the bridge side by connecting the bridge to a switch to provide additional Ethernet ports. Of course, the bridge will pass DHCP info to any device connected to any such switch. And of course, no address needed for a(n) (unmanaged) switch.The only thing I'm uncertain about is this product's longevity. I did have an early Linksys WRT54G totally fail on me, but I'm hoping that having placed my current one on a UPS, this won't happen again. I have confidence in current Linksys products.I hope Amazon buyers find this review helpful.I recommend this product.

Linksys used to be the best brand of router on the marker bar none. Now they have very poor customer service and the product are getting to be junk. I tried to used online support and the first connection got disconnected. I got back in touch with them and was able to finally get some answers out of them. This is a pretty good router but no better that my old WRT54-G you would think technology would be up to date in these new router. I just do not see it. Do your homework and check in with consumer reports before buying something you will wish you had not bought.

I purchased this router in hopes that I would get better performance when gaming compared to my 5-6 year old linksys router. The router performed perfectly for the first week, then began having horrible lag spikes every 10 seconds or so whenever using the internet or gaming. I am now back to using my old router, after returning this product, and it is working adequately. I was very disappointed with this router because I had done lots of research before my purchase, and the router would have been perfect if not for the horrible lag spikes. I am sure this issue can be fixed, but I am not willing to wait for a software update or whatever needs to be done and will be purchasing a different router.

This is a great addition to a wireless N network. I removed the triple antenna Belkin wireless card and replaced it with this. Huge improvement. I put one of these at the opposite end of the house and hooked the other up to a Night Owl DVR. I did however have issues with my email account. If you have any issues sending or receiving email, make sure you have the latest firmware upgrade (1.0.04). Until I did this, I was unable to send email through my POP3 account and would get server interrupted messages. Unfortunately, I was doing other upgrades at the same time, so I was unsure what the issue was for most of a day.

Background:I just wanted the faster router I could find. And this was the fastest Best Buy had.The Good:Fast yes.The Bad:The router resently stopped allowing my computers to talk directly with each other. when using their online support they person on the other end was useless and slow. waisted an hour. He said to call the 1-800 number. They gave me someone from india who didn't know jack about computers. However she did say. We see from our records that you started using this router over 6 months ago which means it is out of warranty. Would you like to pay $70 for help?!Last time I had an issue with an Apple product they gave me someone who knew what they were talking about, who them gave me a free product.The moral of the story buy Apple products whenever possible. They actually have real customer support.

I have read some of the reviews before I bought this router E3000 and was almost not going to buy it because of the bad reviews. So I want to write a review to help people understand this wireless router.There are only 4 things inside the box when you first get it. The router, setup disk, Ethernet cable, and power brick. There is no instruction manual I don't really think you need one the instructions are on the setup disk. First you have to run the CD first than follow the on screen instructions. It just basically tells you the timing for when they want you to plug in a connection and diagnose if it is working and installs the Cisco Connect program.YOU CAN USE THE CISCO CONNECT PROGRAM AND THE ADVANCE SETTINGS .I have looked online from reviews from both amazon and other websites and the major complaint is that you can't use both but you CAN. I have experimented a little bit with the advanced settings (also accessible through 192.168.1.1) that you can access through the cisco connect program under router settings. So far from the changes I made, the only setting that you can not change in the advanced settings, that will disable the cisco connect program is the settings for the 2.4 GHz wireless settings either the Network Name (SSID) or the passphrase. You can change the settings for the 5 GHz and can still access Cisco Connect. The reason why so many people want to change the SSID is because the Cisco Connect program assign you a silly random name, mines was quickdolphin for example. I think that might be the main cause of some of the bad reviews. If You want to change the 2.4 GHz SSID and still be able to use both cisco connect and the advance settings change it only through the cisco connect program under Router settings/ Personalize there you can change the router name and password after that change whatever you want in the advance settings. If at any time you cannot access the cisco connect program than you can just reset the router and just go through the installation CD again. You can turn off the guest access and the parental control is there if you need it in the cisco connect. This router can do amazing speeds.

After much research, I purchased this recently from my local military exchange to replace an older (and getting flaky) 54AG router. It installed very easily using the supplied software. It did not recognize my 2 wireless PS3's but that is probably because I added them directly rather than using the suggested method which entailed connecting via ethernet cable first, regarldess of planned on final use. That approach just did not seem to make a lot of sense. I only have one item (ipad) which supports "n" but set up a separate SSID for 5.0 channel for it and seems to work fine.I have seen some slight increase in speed but am limited by my ISP (6M down, 1M up)as well as older hardware which only supports 10/100 ethernet speeds.I have the router mounted high on the shelf over my desk at home and so far it seems to run fairly cool even after heavy PS3 online use. Maybe this has to do with the current winter weather. Will be interesting to see what happens this summer in the wonderful Memphis heat.I held my breath while it did an update but guess I was lucky as no problems. Did notice that all other devices should be disconnected before an update. Maybe that is why some people have had issues.Would recommend to anyone looking for improved wireless operation.

Have used the E3000 for a few weeks now and really love it. I picked it for 2 reasons: It was IPV6 capable and it had a USB port for adding net components. I was slightly disappointed that the USB can only be configured as net storage with a single USB hard drive and can't be used as a printer server but it has still proved to be useful.The "Guest Account" I didn't expect but has also proved useful because I can let visiting friends and selected neighbors use that to connect to the internet without being part of my home network. Could only give it 4 stars for Configurability because the guest account can only be managed with software and not through the web interface but that is a small quibble.All in all, I am very happy with my purchase.

I've been using this device since about may of 2010. Like all Linksys products it's easy to set up and use. I bought this because I wanted to have the 5Ghz and @.4 Ghz bands running at the same time from one device. Up until January of 2011 I had very few complaints with the device. The speed was fast and all my devices worked. Then it happened. I started getting signal loss. Unless I was 10 ft away or less I could not maintain a connection to the router. I rebooted it and it would work for a short while. But ultimately the same problem would come back. I called Linksys support so I could get a case number for an RMA request. Linksys support had me change the SSID of my wireless network insisting that this would solve everything and there was no need for an RMA. When I ased for my case number anyway I was refused. " There is no need as the problem is now fixed." I explained to the technician that rebooting the router will fix it temporarily and that I had done this several times was useless. Now it's a 3day weekend and I will have to wait to get another tech on the line who will hopefully give me a case number so I can RMA the product. I'd still buy linksys again at this point, but they need to work on their tech support.
