As a person with lots of professional computer experience I find the over simplified setup CD to be more pain than it is worth.To use this as a router - plug in to the proper ports and go. Oh, and turn on the firewall.To use this as an Access Point - that is a bit different.Go into the web interface by typing the IP address (192.168.1.1 by default) and then the username of "admin" and the password of "admin".Turn off DHCP.Be sure that you are patched into a regular port of the router, not the internet port.If you want to rename the wireless radios.Go to the Wireless Settings and select Manual.Only here can you rename the SSID of the radios using the web interface.I also recommend naming the 5Ghz radio different form the 2.4 Ghz radio.This way a dual band cilent can be forced over to the 5 Ghz radio for the greater throughput.All in all not bad, but the setup did take a bit of searching to discover things that Advanced users have taken for granted and Linksys has gone over-board to hide.

Worked just fine for 2 1/2 months, then it just wouldn't connect. My setup was to a Sony BluRay player. After talking to 5 techs at Cisco and doing all kinds of resetups and restarts (which all took about 3 hours!!!!), Cisco finally decided to send me a new one. Their tech support seem knowledgable enough, but they kept passing me off to different levels of techs. Each one basically had me run through almost all the same insane steps to no avail!!! If I could have got my money back, I would have bought a ROKU instead, thereby bypassing the whole Bridge/BluRay player thing. If this one fails, that's exactly what I intend on doing. And no I don't work for ROKU, but I do have one in another room and it works great.

for people who don't like running RJ-45 cables (LAN) all over the house , this is one of the best option for wireless connection. this is my third wireless bridge, and I simply live by them. easy GUI interface, and if you own a linksys router, is even easier to connect, by pressing a single button...

The router was easy to setup. It did assign a silly name, but if you follow the directions, you can change it. Not hard. WHEN IT WORKS the speed is great and multiple computers can attach without a performance hit. All great.HOWEVER, within two days we had problems with the wireless. Computers on our home network could see the router, and connect, but not get any internet connection. Unplugging the router for about 10 seconds and then plugging it back in resolves the problem, but that gets old really fast. At first we had to do this every couple of days, now, a week later we have to do it about every 12 hours.We had an older Linksys before this one that never dropped the wireless connection, although it was slower. I'm hooking it back up, and going to see if I can get the store to take this one back.

Being a Technical Customer Service Rep, I have always recommended either this or the WGA600N to my customers, so when I needed a Wireless Gaming Adapter I chose this first, it does everything I want it to do and effortlessly, set up was a dream and even the non-technical users would find it so easy, Cisco have done their homework with this. This is great for LG Smart TV's, DirecTV Satellite boxes as well as a host of other uses.

I bought this product to make our blue ray player wireless. Installation was easy. It took less than fifteen minutes to install the product.

After about 10 months of owning this product, the Internet port on the router went bad. Despite being less than a year old with proof of purchase, tech support said this product was no longer under warranty and wanted to charge $35 bucks to troubleshoot the router. I wasn't about to pay money just to tell them that the router is no longer good. As many of the other reviewers have stated, the router runs extremely hot and I believe this is what eventually led to it's demise. Save your money and go with another product, this one is a POS.

Bought this 11n unit to improve the WiFi connection to my TV to stream movies. There was a marginal improvement but I was hoping for a much higher throughput compared with my 11g router. Range is definitely improved throughout the house; not as many weak reception spots, so I'm glad for that. My ISP service isn't fast, typically <5Mbps (as verified on a laptop placed next to the TV), but the effective throughput, as measured by the TV is <1Mbps on it's best day. If I can figure this out, my overall rating for this unit would increase. I know, I know, it sounds like a problem with the TV, but why then is the thoughput on the 5Ghz channel actually lower than the 2.4Ghz channel? There's no nearby competition in the 5G band. Oh well.The Cisco Connect software that came with the unit was pretty unnecessary as the router setup pages actually made more sense (at least to me). I've always bout Linksys routers and access points, so I wouldn't hesitate recommending them to others, but this 11n performance issue has me bugged.

This item worked great compared to my old router. Setup with the CD was quite impressive for novice users. BUT, after 1 month....power light started flashing and the item looked like it was reseting itself every 10 seconds. I called them up and they said they would send a new one. I waited one week for a new one and instantly after hooking it up the same problem...I doubt they even tested it out before shipping it to me!!! Over the phone they were super polite but refurbs only get a 30 day return...NEW items get a 90 day return. I have to say I wasnt impressed with the refurbs department but i guess that is what you get when you get a refurb. I bought a E4200.. Great range and IT WORKS..To Sum It All Up....DON"T BUY FROM CISCOS REFURB DEPT.

This new Cisco-Linksys router is without a doubt the fastest and most robust router I've ever owned. It absolutely blows away my prior Linksys WRT300N in both range and speed. I just transferred over 10GB of music files over the 5Ghz wireless connection in just over 20 minutes, without even a hiccup. From my basement where the router is located to the third floor, I get 80% signal strength and solid transfer speeds of 54Mbps over Wireless G. This router is a performance beast and I love that you can set up simultaneous dual band and get screaming performance on the 5Ghz spectrum. As with other Linksys routers, setup is fairly straight forward using the default IP address of 192.168.1.1, and the web interface doesn't force you into any tricky procedures that you sometimes get with other brands (D-Link, Netgear). You don't need the Cisco Connect software in order to set up the router, but if you're so inclined then the alternative is there. Some may say this router is expensive, but considering that six years ago you could easily spend over $200 on a Wireless B device the price is fair for such performance. Overall, I'm very impressed so far with this Cisco-Linksys and I highly recommend it.

I used the WRT610N successfully give my TiVos access the Internet for a while. It worked very well for that. I then tried to use it to connect two TiVos on my local network. This didn't work well as it would take a long time for the two TiVos to interact and it frequently timed out. This is with the latest firmware, ver.1.0.03.I packet sniffed the traffic going between the two TiVos and saw a lot of TCP transmission errors, always on packets of size 63 or less.After doing a Google search on WET610N and "TCP Checksum errors" I came across a number of pages. The most informational was this one which states that the WET610N is rewriting the TCP checksum and incorrectly including padding bytes. This is what is causing the errors:[...]As such I can't recommend the WRT610N. It will work in most instances since packet sizes of less than 64 bytes are rare, but the device fails to work correctly if you happen to run into devices or web sites that send packets of less than 64 bytes. Keep that in mind if you plan to purchase this.

The only negative is the price on this one, but I needed something that HAD to be reliable since I was using it on a live streaming job. So the price was not a big issue. I just looked at it as insurance.Setup was super easy. I love that it sets up a guest network automatically (which you can disable if you don't want it obviously).I've never seen such fast speed over wireless and the range is awesome.If it were not so expensive I would buy a few more for the home, but at this price it's going to be part of the streaming system and that alone.I can't recommend this router enough. I usually use Netgear and love the brand, have used TrendNet with poor results, and have mixed results with LinkSys (which is why I was a bit concerned about buying this since Cisco purchased LinkSys). But I'm very happy.

Got this adapter for use with a Linksys E4200 router and a DirecTV HR-24. The setup was not as straightforward as I would have liked and essentially had to reset the adapter and do a manual configuration with help the dbstalk.com forum. Once it was configured, the adapter seems to work OK.

This little device is one of those things that will either work automagically out of the box, or you'll find yourself banging your head against the wall while waiting for tech support to pick up the line.In concept, it should work great. Plug it in, run the setup CD, and connect it to your wireless device. The problem is, Linksys assumes you're using all Linksys equipment in your network. For example, the instructions on the setup CD reference buttons that my Belkin Wireless N+ router didn't even have. And since my router didn't have that button, I couldn't continue with the setup.I eventually upgraded to a much better Wireless N router from TrendNet (the TEW-691GR), and the bridge's setup CD worked as expected. However, even though the new Wireless N router is rated for 450Mbps, the bridge only pulls down at 5Mbps.I found this odd, because when I unplug the bridge and use my Playstation 3's internal wireless G card to connect to my wireless network, it's connecting at 15 - 16Mbps.I figured a Wireless N bridge with a Wireless N router would have a kick ass connection speed. Turns out, the PS3's Wireless G connects three times faster without the bridge.Maybe I got a dud bridge, or maybe this is normal. Oh well. At least I can return it.

Small and capable wireless router, doesn't seem to overheat. The stock firmware is OK, but it's perfectly compatible with DD-WRT, too, which has a lot more features. The two radios are useful, I've configured a 5 GHz (less interference from neighbors' devices) N-only network for our laptops, and a 2.4 GHz b/g/n network for phones and guests. I don't normally care about the looks of electronics but this router is noticeably pretty.

Wow, the Cisco E3000 is a gem and I am thrilled with it. It's my fourth wireless router and the first one to provide completely reliable wired and wireless connectivity to a plethora of devices without needing to be constantly rebooted. It even actually gets a 300Mbs connection from my Wireless N laptop running Windows 7 Professional when I am seated in my living room about 15 feet from the router.Set up is as easy as it gets if you follow the instructions. I recommend that you do follow the instructions step by step even if you are experienced with router set up. Install the first PC from the supplied CD, create the "Easy Setup Key" on a USB flash drive (this is not supplied with the E3000) and use it to set up the other PC's on your network practically plug and play. This will get you up and running in minutes with WPA encryption enabled by default and insure that "Cisco Connect" is installed on each PC. Without "Cisco Connect" you won't be able to control your guest network so you need it. Once everything is working with the basic setup you can use Advanced setup to add advanced features as you need them like DDNS, port forwarding and MAC address filtering etc. However, if you change the SSID or password you will no longer be able to use "Cisco Connect", I knocked it down one star for that and hope that they will soon correct it.If you have or are planning a home network for all those gadgets that need internet access like PC's, Play Stations, TV's, DVR's, iPods, Wii's, and on and on, this is the router you want to have.Note Added 5/11/2010On 5/4/2010 Cisco released an update for Cisco Connect and a firmware update for the E3000 router. After installing both updates I brought up Cisco Connect and changed both my password and the SSIDs for both the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands. It automatically reset these items in the Advanced settings menu accessible via a Web browser and prompted me to update my "Easy Setup Key". Thus, I consider the problem that most everyone including myself complained about to be solved and I have upgraded my rating to from 4 to 5 stars.

I received the Cisco-Linksys E3000 High-Performance Wireless-N Router from Amazon yesterday (9-8-10). When I tried to set it up, using the included software, it failed to install properly. I next went to what Cisco euphemistically calls their "on line chat room" where I spent almost three hours agonizingly trying to communicate with some technical assistant on line. The back and forth communication was very slow and I would often have to wait for minutes before I got the next text response. It was clear, even from the limited text I was receiving, that the technician was not a native English speaker. After this time period, the technician finally called me by phone, and had me try some additional things. I had to ask him to repeat several instructions because his English was difficult to understand. He acted annoyed when I had to ask him to repeat his instructions. Eventually he decided that the unit was defective and he sent me, via e-mail, instructions on sending the unit back. An interesting thing about the return is that I was responsible for the expense of returning the router. After Cisco receives the defective router they will send me a replacement. I shipped the unit off to them via UPS today and had to pay $16.19, which annoyed me a great deal. I am also planning on sending a letter to Cisco complaining about their policy of making the customer pay for the return of a defective product. I don't yet know how well the E3000 router works, but I can tell any potential buyers that if you get a dud, you are going to undergo a lot of frustration from this organization.

I wasted several hours trying to set this thing up. This is the second Cisco product I purchased recently and both turned out to be equally difficult to set up and inferior in other respects; will stay away from it in the future.The bridge comes with a setup CD that only works with Windows or MacOS, not Linux. You are led to believe that you can only set it up from the CD. I wanted to use it with a Linux box but no problem, I also had a Mac book. I ran the CD, got to the point when it was supposed to find wireless networks but this step took forever without a single network found, so I had to give up. Ran a google search, found that it also had a web-based configuration utility, spent another hour reading web pages and manuals until it finally worked. I can only imagine how long it would take me if I didn't go through similar ordeal when configuring a cisco router.

I've had this wireless router up and running for over a month now. Setup was very easy. Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. This replaced a 10yr old Linksys router and 8 yr old wireless b access point for me so you can imagine my speed improvements are pretty awesome. Streaming movies on my wife's iPad and on the Wii via Netflix is very good. Movies don't take very long to buffer, and we're not experiencing interruptions like we used to. I'm also very happy with the range. I have this set up in our basement, but have not had any trouble picking up a solid signal, even in our backyard. Overall I'm very happy with this so far.

I was having constant problems with a wireless adapter I purchased a couple of months ago. The IT guy at work seems to like Linksys products, so I took a chance and purchased the AE1200. I couldn't be happier. Fast, reliable connection (faster than any other adapter I've put on this machine).

Cisco connect config is awful. I went back to a manual config via 192.168.1.1. I am having low signal problems with two boxes upstairs in my home. I had no such problems with my previous router, WRT54G. This router also runs very hot. I had to put it up on a stand to get air flow to the bottom of the router. Poor design.Another weird problem is one of the laptops has an Acer monitor. When I plug in the Acer monitor cable, I get a message that Windows needs a certificate to log on to my network.I also had to get online support because the router needed a firmware upgrade.I would have been better off performance wise and expense just buying another Linksys WRT54G router. I don't recommend this E3000N.I decided to upgrade to the E3000N because I have a new high performance laptop that would be able to take advantage of the N speed. Alas, it didn't happen.

As a certified 'senior' who's never dealt with a router before, I had absolutely no trouble setting up and getting connected. My 6 year old desktop is not wireless. My goal was to get a new laptop up and running via the router. By simply inserting the CD, I followed the instructions with no difficulty at all. I used a Memory Stick with data already stored on it, to then connect to my laptop. In less than 15 minutes both computers were up and running. The laptop is much faster than my desktop so I'm thrilled with that! (I live in a two story home and have had no connectivity problems from anywhere within the home; I haven't tried taking the laptop outdoors, but I doubt I ever will!)Hopefully, my satisfaction is not short-lived and the router will give me a few good years.

gave my old 3000 to my daughter when she moved out so she did not need to set up a new one. Had no trouble with that one once I elevated it for more ventilation. Same story with my new 3000. Same story also about unable to keep the 5ghz up.
