DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ROUTER!!!The dual band is nice, but this router actually has slightly lower signal strength than the old 54G. And you can not access all of the router settings from the web setup page! You can not reset the Guest account settings on the web setup page! I called CISCO on this and had two people hang up on me when I told them I was dissatisfied with the router because you could not access all of the router setting on the web settings page. Finally the third person admitted that it was a fault and they CISCO was working on a fix! SAME ON CISCO FOR RELEASING A PRODUCT WITH KNOW WEAKNESSES!!!! I bought this router because of the reputation and quality we have come to expect for Linksys and CISCO, but I WAS WRONG, CISCO did NOT do a good JOB recently!YOU ARE BETTER OFF BUYING ANOTHER LESS EXPENSIVE ROUTER WITH DD-WRT. CISCO IS GOING DOWN HILL!!!!!!!

This wireless-to-ethernet adapter from Linksys is just fine, now that I've succeeded in setting it up. However, out of the box, the installation software could not locate the device, even though I had done nothing to it beforehand. A call to tech support was necessary, and I have to say Cisco's telephone support was prompt, competent, and thorough. It was a complex process, though -- the tech person had to access my computer remotely, taking it over temporarily while she changed settings, accessed IP addresses, etc. etc. (fun but a bit scary to watch one's computer doing all these things without one's personal input!). And it was not simple for HER, either -- it took about an hour of support to get the unit working properly with my wireless network.Presumably this is not a common problem, although my operating system is bread-and-butter XP Pro, my laptop is a basic DELL, and my wireless router and internet service is AT&T (DSL).Anyway, the good news is, it works well now and didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Took me about ten minutes to set up. Great range. Fast and can easily stream online content and good security. I love the fact that, using a USB hub i can connect both my printers and my storage devices so that all my music library can reside on one hard drive, pictures and etc and that I can print to any printer from anywhere that is connected. I think it is terrific.

I pulled the plug on satellite TV and put up an antenna for the networks (working great-HD is fantastic!) and purchased a movie subscription. Using this device for video streaming which is included with the movie subscription. This device was recommended by Sony in their user guide, it's hooked up to an RJ-45 port on the TV and working great. You have to set-up the device through your computer initially, then connect it to the network. Tried to set it up on the DSL modem RJ-45 port directly which didn't work. So set-up on home network router (also Cisco) which worked fine. Moved the device to the TV and it connected to the internet immediately. The TV did an update and then showed me all of the content sources available. There is a lot to choose from on the net. I am able to watch movies etc. without a problem. It looks like Sony is now including a wireless adapter, packaged w/ their TVs. Also all of the current game boxes allow interface to the internet, so I am buying a WII machine for my other TV for the gaming and internet capability. Also planning to get faster DSL when available as the bandwidth requirements will only go up and faster will be better. Bottom line, this device works great and for me was the perfect option for the specific results I was looking for.

This is a cool-looking ethernet to wireless adapter that does everything it promises. I use it to stream Netflix and You Tube to my Blu-Ray player. The speed is good and video never stops or gets choppy like digital cable. I use it with a different brand wireless router with no problem. I got it for $84 on Amazon, and saw it for $99 in the retail stores. There seems to be very few choices for this type of adapter, and it's the second lowest priced one I could find online.I've never bought or set up one of these before, but assumed it would be similar to setting up a wireless router. Bad assumption on my part. To set up a wireless router, you typically plug your computer/laptop into the router with an ethernet cable, then go to the router's web page for setup. This adapter does not set up the same way (no web page). To set up this adapter, you plug an ethernet cable from the adapter to your wireless router (not to your computer). Then, instead of going to the adapter's web page, you must run the CD install program on your computer (which has wired or wireless access to the same router). If you plug the adapter into your computer while running the CD setup, the setup will fail. Once it's set up, you can move it anywhere and plug the ethernet cable from your Blu-Ray or gaming system to the adapter. The set up isn't hard, just not as easy as it could be, and sure beats fishing wires through the walls.

SKIP THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU ARE A NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNICIAN!I love SONY. I am a longtime SONY buyer and I was biased to buy a Sony blueray even though it doesn't offer a WIFI capability. I sprang for this WIFI bridge offered by CISCO/LINKSYS that Sony recommends - because it is "optimized for video streaming". I am also a netflix subscriber so I thought -perfect. Long story short is that the CISCO bridge is a pain to set-up. I returned it. It isn't even compatible with a MAC unless you manually set it up with the help of someone over the phone in India. WHich I tried to do but as soon as they heard I didn't have a Linksys router/DSL modem they didn't really know how to help me. It was comical. They said "Don't you have a PC you can use to set this up?" And then " You mean your DSL modem/router is not a CISCO/LINKSYS?" No and No. Sorry! Their help was very limited and this was a function of the bad design of this bridge. Annoying that the bridge isn't plug and play in 2010! AND WHY WOULD SONY NOT BUILD IN WIFI? Apple TV does it! Wii does it! Xbox does it! AND YOU KNOW WHAT? They are all plug and play!!!! Can you imagine inserting a disc in your computer to configure a wireless device like the CISCO bridge? Apparently CISCO can!!!!! Crazy!! I guess we are all so spoiled by technology that when something bone headed like this comes along there is no mercy.I ended up moving my DSL modem/router to behind my TV and plugged it into my Blue-ray directly. Probably a better configuration anyway with no real downside to my home network needs. And I saved my $80 for new bluray discs!

Bought this router brand new....It would not work using the CD so I had to Chat...It would not work with Chat help so I had to call...It would not work over the phone so I had to give them control of my PC remotely...They could not get it to work and blamed it on my PC...The computer is not even a year old...and has worked with many routers.

I am pleased with this routher, but thought it would be faster. It turns out that if you have an aquarium or other electric thing nearby, it can disrupt the signal. But other than not being as strong a signal across the house as I had expected, it has been working steadily and a good replacement for my g router that had begun to shut off.

For the people having problems setting up the device with your FIOS router, you might want to try changing the security to WPA2.The default for FIOS is WEP, which is less secure. I had problems getting the device to connect.Switched the security to WPA2, AES encryption and it set up fine.

I took it out of the box and popped in the set-up disk, followed the EASY directions and off I went. Very simple set up. Works great with my Sony T.V. I would recommend this product.

Had to call Cisco for help with installation. They were very helpful and got me up and running. I am not techy so it was difficult for me personally to figure it out. Other than that it has been everything I expected.

This is way better than the E1000, so spend the extra bucks and get the better router, you'll be glad you did. I'm very happy with it, can stream HD Netflix movies very well.

After plugging it into my laptop and changing the default IP, then connecting it to my router/modem, I finally got it to work with WPA-Personal security. Since hidden SSID's does not seem to work to well on Vista Home or at all for that matter. I use MAC filtering along with WPA. (Two Vista Home laptops and one BB Bold all have problems connecting to my wireless network when the SSID is not being broadcast.)Took about an hour to set it up, but for some reason Cisco/Linksys wants you to use their startup cd and disable all security. Default IP and access codes on the first page would be more helpful.I paired the bridge to a Linksys WRT600N Dual band wireless router, I also had to move the wireless router to get a signal. No wooden walls in my house.Best connection speed is 13.5mbps on the 5Ghz side of the router, and around 6mbps on the 2.4Ghz side. on the plus side I have 5 bars on the laptop in every room in the house and the blue LED's match my AV equipment. I also connected the Blackberry Bold to the wireless network.Why I got this: I needed network connections in my living room and did not want to run cables along the walls or cut channels. The bridge is connected to a small 100MB hub. Samsung Blue Ray DVD and Sat Receiver are connected to the hub which goes to the bridge which makes a wireless connections back to the WRT600.It works for me, since I got it setup I've had to pull the power cord out once to reconnect to the WRT600.It does the job I need it to do. Setup issues could be avoided by listing the default IP and access codes up front. I guess I wasted 30 minutes using the CD and the quick configure feature, I did not read all the instructions. The setup instructions/wizard are for people who have wide open wireless networks.Look for the default IP and username/password first. Setup a static IP to match, then configure the bridge to match your network. 15 minutes to 20 minutes and you should be good to go.

Folks not to blow cisco's horn but had two computers and a printer hooked up hard wired and working in 20 minutes.Laptop signed on to wireless in 5 minutes. Network name and password changed in another 5 minutes. PS3 hooked up in another 5 minutes. IPAD was next. Everything works great and is fast. Would recommend without a thought.

I own a WGA-600N which has worked flawlessly from day 1 (using Wireless-N + WPA2 enabled). So I wanted to buy another one but Cisco has discontinued the product and WET-610N is the successor. BAD BAD choice!! It would not connect with Wireless-N and WPA2 enabled. It connected with security disabled but the range was poor (too many dropped connections). In hindsight I should have paid more attention to the pain other users had to go thru and avoided the product.If you want to save yourself some exasperation and hassle avoid this product.I own a bunch of Cisco/Linksys products. This one has made me lose faith in them. Looks like quality control with them is just a hit/miss or maybe they just want "Enterprise Customers".Hello D-Link!

After two failed Netgear wireless routers over five years, I finally splurged to the Linksys Cisco brand and bought the E3000. The setup instructions on the installation CD worked perfectly. Just follow the instructions and it connects to my modem and connects to my PC and wireless devices (Dell laptop and iPod Touch). The increase in range within my two story home is a very welcome improvement over my old Netgear WNDR3300. I have a very strong WiFi signal everywhere now. I have not tried the external storage feature. The browser interface works fine as an intermediate network user. I disabled the Guest account with ease. I change the device name with just a few key strokes. I change the passphrase within seconds from the manufacturer's default settings.So after just one day, I am greatly pleased with the ease of setup, the range and the ability to add other wireless devices as the need arises. A true 5 star rating from a home network user.ONE WEEK UPDATE: Still a Five Star performer. Zero glitches, and GREAT range within my two story home. A keeper so far!

This is my 3rd Cisco Linksys e3000 router which has gone bad. It appears that Cisco has a problem with either memory leak or heat dissipation. The router works great when new, and then it requires rebooting (power off/on) every so often. Then the rebooting frequency would increase and then died completely.Discussed with some co-workers of mine and they had similar experience. One person turns off her router before she leaves for work and then turn it back on at night so the memory leak can be resolved. What a joke!Linksys used to be rock solid until Cisco bought them. I guess I have no choice but to go to another brand link D-link.Cisco always has been a Software company. Their standard solution is always firmware upgrade.

This wireless access bridge was amazingly easy to set up. I wanted more out of my Directv receiver's internet access and I got it with the wet610n. My old wireless bridge was extremely slow and lost connection with our wireless router often. The router I'm using now is a Linksys e3000 which is also well worth the money.

this router does all its work but the connection has been lost sometimes :) You have to disconnect and reconnect to the network to solve the problem . I plugged out the router and cut the power cable because of the nerve at that time. Anyway wireless cable modem works same for home network ..

after reading some of these reviews I wasn't to sure what to expect. we recently purchased an item that is to far away from our router and I did not want to climb around in the attic fishing a data cable so turned to this device.I just got done setting it up and was impressed how easy it was, I've been in the IT field for 14yrs, professionally, and I know it's easy to get ahead of yourself and not read the instructions. with this product I acted as if I was a novice "techie" and followed the instructions exactly the way they have them on the setup disc (some of the low rating reviews have you believe that this is difficult to setup and you'll run into problems, my best guess is one of two things: a: they didn't follow the directions b: they happen to get a faulty unit)I had no trouble at all, everything configured correctly the 1st time and had no issues. I tested it on the blu-ray player in our bedroom (new item hasn't shown up yet) and it worked like a champ our blu-ray player has the DIVX VOD and runs pretty well.overall I'm happy with the product and am thinking about picking a 2nd unit.

Quite a bit of hype has been written about this router's easy setup. I disagree. I purchased this router on two different occasions (thinking my first purchase may have been a bad unit) and even with Cisco Tech support (who I was on the phone with for 2 1/2 hours) could not establish any more than a manual connection between my 3 year-old wireless Dell Inspiron laptop and router. I could not use the Cisco Connect software. With a manual setup, you lose all the functionality available with Cisco Connect which makes paying such a high price for the unit ridiculous. My IP is Comcast, and I've read several comments about the difficulty using this router with a Comcast modem. I agree. It's not worth the time and frustration. I'll wait until a manufacturer develops router/software package that truly is easy to set up.
