I've never written an Amazon review before, even though I've been buying here since 1997. Avoid this router! I have an incredible ISP that gives me 100 mbps up and down (symmetrical). When I first boot the router, and go to speedtest.net (using a *wired* computer -- not even using 802.11), I get about 95mbps up and down, just as I'm supposed to. Within a few hours I get 30mbps and after a day or two, it goes all the way to 1mbps! If I reboot the router, it immediately goes back to 95mbps, and within a few hours back down to 30. The only way to keep the WAN connection running at full speed is to reboot it! I know the problem is not with my ISP, because I can consistently get the speed to instantly return to 95mbps by rebooting the router. And it's not a problem with the wireless -- all of these tests are done with a wired connection.There's a thread on Cisco's site about people with this problem:[...].Some people claim that turning off uPNP fixes the problem -- I'm trying that now. But until Cisco/Linksys comes out with a firmware fix, I'd strongly advise against buying this router. I wish I could return this stupid thing but I already threw away the packaging!

All the other adapters I have tried had the ability to do a scan of wireless networks available and set the adapter to connect to those. Why this Cisco version doesn't not allow that is a mystery to me. The software instructs you to connect the device to your WiFi AP router with a physical ethernet cable. What about the case where you can't physically access the AP? Hotels, Apartment Complex Wifi, Etc Etc. The user software simply stops there and doesn't let you go further.Next I accessed the onboard browser interface to try and bypass the install software by just going to the default IP of the adapter (169.254.1.250). No luck there either. You could scan and see wireless networks but couldn't actually connect to them successfully. Buy the Netgear (WNCE2001) or Trendnet (TEW-647GA) versions instead. Those worked perfectly.

I wanted a home network to connect various computers, a shared laser printer and a shared hard drive but I only have dial up internet access. It turns out, this router doesn't let me off first base unless I have a broadband internet connection. Tech support is question and answer based and might as well not exist as all answers assume you have broadband internet but are just having trouble connecting to it. Unless I am able to find some help on a blog somewhere, I will have to return this item as it doesn't do anything without broadband!

Although I can't comment on the ability to stream video, they worked great for adding two VOIP analog phone converters to my wireless network. Simple installation CD, made even easier if you have a Cisco Router (which bypasses the need to manually add a security code by using a button on the router to search for the bridge). Note this is a bridge and not a wireless access point or extender; I.E. it is intended to hook up any wired network device to an existing wireless network.

My ISP gives out 2Wire routers/modems with their service (AT&T) and it took me a while to figure out why the WET610N would have trouble working very well.It would appear to be connected. I could bring up the interface from both sides. Computers connected to it would get an IP address and could bring up the interface. Other computers on the network not attached to the WET610 could also bring up the interface. You would think everything would work fine. However, I could not browse the internet (for very long) on anything connected to the WET610N. It would work for a few minutes and then it would just stop. It was kind of unclear why.Then, I tried it with a Netgear router instead and it worked perfectly.Technical support seemed to be unaware of any problem with 2Wire. They knew what brand router I had and all they wanted to do was reflash the firmware on the linksys.I've tried this in two locations with two different 2Wire router models and neither worked very well. However it works fine in a non-2Wire network.

I have a slightly older model Linksys 'N' gigabit router. I also had an older model wireless 'N' bridge that was hooked up to my PS3 but I had to move that to my so called wireless printer (that's different story). So I needed a new bridge for the PS3. Having really like the older model I opted for the Linksys version again. I went through the packages *automated* setup but the unit never could find my network, well it found it, but couldn't connect. I finally opted to chuck the auto setup and went for the manual web browser setup logging in to the unit directly. I finally was able to figure out the problem and get it working right, but it took me over 5 HOURS of time mucking around with it. The older unit was up and running in less than 10 minutes. Grrrrrr~ Well, now it works fine and I can stream Netflix to the PS3 again. However, c'mon, seems ridiculous to me that this unit needs to cost over 80 dollars. I guess we have to pay a premium to have wireless N. The unit works, but I can't imagine an average user would ever be able to get it to set up properly. If you have a similar problem, try the Linksys online help forum. There are some users that have posted really useful information there to get you up and running.

I spent days and hours trying to get this sorry design to work on my home WinXP network. I have given up after many searchs on internet for help and have tried many proposed solutions with some success but then failure. I am going to give the router to a fisherman friend for a boat anchor since I have had it too long to return it and am tired of looking at it. I now use a Netgear router with no problem.

Set up two computers, Playstation 3, and internet ready tv. I'm getting 45 mps on my wireless computer and 144 mps on the wired. The clincher was the VUDU movie that played in 1080p HD flawlessly. There is absolutely no lag anywhere in my house which is 3000 sq. ft. This router did not disappoint.

Super easy setup. Just followed the wizard and had no problems. The device is awful though. The connection is painfully slow. It is constantly loading every few minutes. My router is only 12 feet from the bridge. I am using Cisco E2000 Advanced Dual-Band Wireless-N Router. It is so painful to use this setup that I will likely return it and try something else. Is there something else? Is there another way to connect to get a faster connection speed?

There's no excuse for this not device not auotmatically and correctly configuring with the FIOS router. Linksys products used to be good, worse since Cisco bought the company.Now I will have to waste hours getting this configured.Wich I had bought from another company.

I replaced a wired Linksys router which was working perfectly with 4 computers attached to the router. I added a wireless computer and a wireless BluRay player so I wanted and needed a wireless router. After researching and past performance with Cisco/Linksys I decided on the E3000 Linksys router. Setup was easier than the instructions and virtually automatic. About all I had to do we reconnect my wired computers and assign a router and security password for the network. Everything was up and working within 15 minutes out of the box.Speeds are great and streaming thru the Bluray player with Netflix, Youtube, etc. is really great. I also have a lot of stuff on my network which is easily shared thru the Bluray player with it's Network feature. You can share photos, movies, etc. There's an USB slot on the router which you can also use to share info on your network.All in all a great product with no loss of speed for downloading or streaming. Range is also quite good. I would recommend this very impressive product.

Fairly easy to set up. Took only about five minutes. Range is great. We have a large two-story home, and we set up the Linksys in the upstairs office and I use it in the downstairs family room. No problems with reception.

I've had a ton of trouble with other routers but not this one. This router you plug it in, do a few simple set up's and your up an running. The new setup vs the old ones is much better and easier to understand for us novice's. I do have some issues with it occasionally dropping my Sony blue ray connection for streaming Netflix but other than that it's great.

Simple and quick to setup. Connection speed is awesome. The only drawback is the low profile design which causes the unit to heat up. I just followed the advice in an earlier review and turned it upside down! doesn't look as sleek now but works for my purpose!

We had an old Belkin router for a long time, but finally the wireless function on it stopped working. This one has great range. Even when transmitting through 3 walls and the ceiling, it still keeps a strong signal. About 3 weeks ago the wireless stopped working, I couldn't figure out what it was, but I opened the Cisco-connect program and it began to update, so make sure you are always updating the software. Also, there is a "guest network" option, it is another network in addition to your password protected network. If you don't want random people taking up your bandwidth, I would turn off the "guest network". But mind you, the bandwidth is incredible, I can stream video from 3 computers at once and it all still goes quite smoothly and quickly. Great buy!!!

Buy this router and get the tomato USB firmware. 2 separate radio set ups . All the features of tomato and some. The range is not as good as some other devices. But you can use this to produce a mesh network. If I do this with the pro gear I work with... We are talking 2800 dollars. I can come close with 3 of these units with a cost of $450. Ditch the stock firmware asap. Go to tomatousb.org and get the firmware for this device. Features and power of this device make it a steal.

I bought this wireless bridge to connect to my satellite tv DVR to view my on demand content and also to connect to my PS3. My wireless router was wired to the internet on another floor of my house and I wasn't about to run a hundred feet of cable through numerous drilled holes to get my tv connected. Before buying this adapter I actually read a lot of negative reviews and did my own research on the technology this item incorporates applying to streaming video/ gaming. Almost all of the negative reviews I had read had to do with the adapter being hard to set up or unreliable. I have owned the adapter for two weeks and have only had to reset once ( unplug power for 30 seconds ). The installation and set up took ten minutes and was very straight forward. The performance of the adapter in the applications it was intended has exceeded my expectations. The common issue that the critical reviewers seemed to have was more a matter of not understanding the fundamentals of the technology that they purchased or the computers they used to set it up. You don't need a computer science degree to set this up, but a basic understanding of your technology is helpfull. If you want to save money by doing something yourself. DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST. Your television provider would be more than happy to send a technician to your house to set this up for you as would many electronics stores ( BestBuy, Staples, etc. ) for a fee. That being said, I would purchase this product again and thought it was an excellent value.

The Linksys adapter is advertised as being able to connect ANY Ethernet capable device to a wireless network. This claim is false. I purchased the adapter to connect my Canon Ethernet-capable printer to my home wireless network. I used the setup disk that quickly configured the adapter, but when I connected it to my printer, there was no communication between the units and my printer was not linked to my home network. I therefore called Cisco-Linksys customer support. The support technician tried a wide variety of approaches to get the adapter to communicate with the printer, but after THREE HOURS on the phone, she finally gave up and told me that I should contact Canon support. The Canon support technician took me through the same routines as the Linksys techie, without success. No matter what we tried, the adapter would not communicate with the printer. By this time, pretty much the entire day was gone, and I was no closer to having wireless network printing than I had been before I purchased the adapter.I suppose there's an object lesson somewhere in this experience--perhaps that we shouldn't trust the claims of manufacturers, even those with the status of Cisco-Linksys and Canon. I returned the adapter to Amazon and received a refund.

I had a little trouble installing the software for the bridge and decided to call the Linksys customer service line when my lap-top wouldn't "recognize" the bridge. After being on hold for 20-30 minutes, I got a horrible phone connection with the "customer service department," which resulted in me having to repeat the 10+ digit serial number 4 times before the agent got it right. They wouldn't call me back to get a better phone connection, it wasn't their "policy." She proceeded to ask me what my modem settings were. When I asked her how I check the modem settings, she asked who manufactured the modem. Since it wasn't a Linksys modem, she said she couldn't help me any further because it wasn't their "policy." I asked what the settings needed to be to help my problem and she wouldn't answer my question. I asked if there was anything else we could check that might be the problem, I even gave her the error code (it was 107) that I was getting in the setup instructions. She explained I needed to call the Mfg. of the modem to ask them that question.Throughout this entire process, the customer service agent spoke down to me, interrupted me constantly, was generally rude and wasn't interested in helping me fix this problem. She seemed more interested in punting me to another Customer Service black hole.In hindsight, it was a simple problem, I needed to connect my lap-top to the modem via a Ethernet cable (instead of my Wi-Fi) so my lap-top would "recognize" the bridge, the problem wasn't the modem settings and this step was not addressed in the set-up instructions. I ended up figuring this out on my own. The Linksys/Cisco customer service folks should've at least tried to help me or at least help me trouble shoot. They didn't, the whole process was terrible!!The product itself seems to work fine.

After I got this router it made me think that I must have been living in the stone ages up until now. My old router was too complicated to use secured so I just left it open and as we all know that is less than smart. The ease of setting this up and making my network secure was just plain simple. Now my Directv has more options, now my cell phone connects to the network at amazing speed, my wireless music bridge works 10 times better. This router has really improved my home network in so many ways. A truly great buy!

This is a terrific device. My blu-ray player has an ethernet jack, but my network router is very far away from the player. So for the past year, I was not able to update the player's firmware or take advantage of some of the advanced features available through the internet. Then this wireless bridge, WET610N, was recommended to me by a local audio/video expert, so I bought one. Installation and setup were very simple when I followed the step-by-step directions on the enclosed CD-ROM. I had it up and working within 15 minutes. Within a second 15 minutes I had my blu-ray player firmware updated finally. I highly recommend this wireless bridge!
