I bought this to replace a Linksys WRT160N, which was fried while performing a firmware update. I was having intermittent problems with it, so I was hesitant to purchase another Linksys router. I am glad I did. This unit has a very nice exterior and a nice soft blue finish. Setup is a breeze; just don't use their idiot-ware to set it up and use the standard web interface. All the wireless connection drops I was previously experiencing have stopped. The gigabit ports are great for your wired components and the range on the wireless gives me full bars on my laptop at every corner of my house (~3000 square feet). The lights on the front panel are blue when megabit connection and green when gigabit. The router web interface has not changed much since last years' model, but is great and is easy to use. Standard features like DHCP reservations and port-forwarding on the firewall make setting up a FTP or Remote Desktop simple. I wouldn't buy this if you are looking for VPN support, however.

Where shall I begin. Cisco makes a lot of claims that are not realized. Unless all your network computers are using Win7 you will be challenged at every turn; forget it if you have a wireless connection using XP sp3, just won't connect. Did I mention your cable modem better not have an IP address of 192.168.1.1 because that is also the default IP for router and software; not the software connect does not give you the option to change IP. Support knows of XP problem and is more than willing to pass you off to a fee support site to resolve issue; "this is a known Windows problem". You will waste hours trying to get what should be a plug and play to work. Do not recommend purchase.

After seeing the adorable video clips on installation of this wireless bridge, I had confidence that it would install easily. Not for us. We got to the end of their very cursory screens only to get an error message we could not rectify on our own. I did the Linksys 24/7 Chat help for an hour, and it still would not go past that error message. The gal finally said she was not familiar with the Verizon wireless hub router, so the next day my husband called Verizon for help. Verizon put his phone call to a Linksys phone help person. It took an hour of going through screens "into places I have never been on my computer" but they got it working.Now that it's working, it is very reliable and perfoms admirably. Maybe if you have a Linksys router, you would have an easier time than we did.

The main benefit of replacing my WRT54G with this router is that the speed seems faster on my hardwired computers.I bought this router to use two main features and found they worked great so far:1. WPA and WPA2 'Mixed' mode AES encryption for my PSP, PS3, Tivo, Sony Laptop, Dell desktop, Blackberry 9700, Brother monochrome printer (HL-5370DW), and Samsung Eternity.2. FTP server for a USB attached esternal hard drive (although there is no FTP/S). My wife accesses this from her work - nice feature.

I'm a network engineer and I couldn't, for the life of me, get the network or the blu ray player to recognize this device.Spent 3 hours trying to set it up- followed the buggy and error prone setup exactly and even tried dialing into the device myself.Nothing. Never worked. Sending it back.

As the spouse of a Cisco employee, I have to sadly report that our E3000 is going back to Cisco and I am returning to my old standby Belkin router.The router cannot maintain a connection to a NAS drive and a media drive connected via USB. When streaming a movie via a uPnP DVD player, the router drops the connection and the stream drops. It also drops the connection to the drive via uTorrent.An hour with Cisco support confirmed that the router settings were all correct and admitted that the router is very new and might have an undiagnosed problem and referred me to customer service to return the drive.

I bought the router to replace my old linksys WRT42G2 router. I got the router in 3 days. I hooked it up and ran the set up cd. No problems with the setup. I connected it to my ipod touch and my xbox 360. I use to lag so much on xbox live and now there is no such thing as lag anymore. iPod touch is flawless on Wi-Fi. The range is incredible, I can go outside of my house and still get 5 bars, pretty impressive. I love this router. It does what I need it to do.Pros: Fast, 2.4 and 5.0 ghz. great for gaming.Cons: Runs hot, (place it somewhere it can get a lot of air flow). Pretty expensive.

This router absolutely has not met my expectations. I am replacing an old router expecting a significant upgrade and instead am experiencing a drop in performance. Specifically: - Range is quite low. I used to be able to go across the street and keep the signal, now I have trouble covering the outer rooms in my house. - Throughput is surprising low. My hardwire connection to the router measures roughly half the dl speed as my old router. Very surprising and disappointing. Wireless is also surprisingly slow, I had far better performance with old, non-'n' routers. Basically, the family is begging me to undo this upgrade. - Frequent reboots needed. After a few days, throughput steadily drops. I see this is now widely reported, especially on Linksys' support site, with no answer but keep rebooting the router. It is absurd to need to reboot a router every couple of days just to maintain speed.Overall, this piece of hardware is a pass. It touts itself as high performance, best of the best, but is no where close.

My old Belkin G Router went south on me so I started reading the reviews. I didn't want to waste a lot of time setting up a home network. Decided to get the e3000. Got home and plugged the CD in (first) and had my network up and running in a few minutes.With an old USB thumbdrive, I created an Easy Setup Key and our kitchen laptop connected with zero effort. Pretty sure you can buy a Cisco Easy Key but it's just a thumbdrive so why bother. You can also create easy keys for guests so they only have access to the internet (not your personal files). Pretty cool. I didn't realize how much our old router was slowing down our internet speed. We're on cable modem and my wife was excited how much faster the laptop is running. So far so good. *If things change I'll update this posting.* Really rely on these type reviews to save time and money.

Setting up the E3000 was very easy with supplied software. It has just worked for the last four months. Used with both wired and wireless connections, no problems.Additional note:We have been using the router for about four months now, and it has been flawless. Recently added an entertainment system, and wireless performance was much better than I expected for streaming video. Excellent Gaming performance as well (or at least so my son tells me...). No problems at all, even when installing devices on the network that were not planned when I got the router. Just seamless reliability.

I finally wound up taking my WET610N back to the retailer. I spent the majority of one whole day trying to get it to work. I spent 4 hours with their tech support people trying to iron out the problems. I'm not a noobie on this stuff, I work for a software company and I'm pretty much at easy tinkering with settings, but this was far and away much too complicated. In the end nothing worked right. I have a great wireless router, my PS3 picks up it's signal very well, I have three computers in my home (one a iMac) which all communicate with the wireless system very well, and the TV I was trying to hook it up to is brand new (Sony Bravia 46-inch XBR9, and I mention the Sony TV because Sony listed the WET610N as the recommended wireless bridge). I tested the TV internet functions with a 25-foot ethernet cord hooked up to my modem and know for a fact the TV internet functions work just fine. There is nothing wrong with the system I brought this WET610N into. While I see the positive reviews, I can only report that it was a very negative experience for me. The tech support people in the Phillipines deserve at least one attaboy, they were great, but the product itself should be an embarrassment for Linksys. This WET610N is nothing more than an antenna and it should work without all this exasperating bother. If you're like me, you expect something very much like plug-n-play. Well, it's not. Linksys, your tech support folks are truly top-notch, but your product stinketh. Do some work on this thing, guys. Really.

I decided to buy this product because my N router is a Linksys (WRT320N) and even though it shouldn't matter, I decided that keeping it in the family might be a good idea. Then came the setup... I ran the CD, as instructed (they make it sound so simple). I connected the WET610N to my router with the included ethernet cable. I tried multiple times, but the setup software just couldn't detect the bridge (error code 107, I think it was). I tried rebooting everything, as instructed. Still no luck. I finally just went into the web interface for my router and found the IP address of the direct-connected bridge. I took the IP address of the bridge and put that into IE and up came the bridge admin page. I logged in and after a couple of minutes of entering my router's security information manually, the bridge was working. I'm using the bridge with my PS3 and it has worked flawlessly ever since, providing much better numbers than the PS3's internal wifi. So I'd give the bridge itself a 5, but the setup software a 1.

I have had this for several days and this thing still does Not work.My ipod touch sometime can connect, sometime cannot.WHat I hate is ZERO documentation at all to assist me, just a 75 page PDF file on a cd.I have a 3-4 year old router that worked fine, i just felt like upgrading for fun..This has not been fun so far.UpdateFinally after several weeks it seems to be working.I finally switched the channel this router broadcasts. I am using the 2.4 frequency.. but within that, there are 20 separate channels you can choose from, to help avoid interferance with other networks, phones and even microwave ovens.I just randomly changed the channel from the default, to like 9 or 10 I think.. and bamm instantly fixed all the problesm I was having. Now I have super fast ( although I am just using 802.11g, not the N at this point).The most alloying thing, it that there should have been some SIMPLE instructions ( ON PAPER) to tell me to change the broadcast channel. I only figured out to try that solution because I have some networking text books to read through.

Do a search on Cisco's home community for "E3000 wireless slowdown reboot". The thread is over 100 posts now with many people experiencing the same problem. Knowing Cisco & the rate at which they fix things I don't have any hope for speedy resolution. I will update this review if and when they fix it - until then I recommend going with a different vendor.Update: The firmware release in December 2010 fixed the long-standing issue I referred to previously. The E3000 in it's current state as of May 2011 is a reasonable investment...3 to 4 stars. I'd probably go for 4 stars if Cisco's consumer support wasn't maddening. I won this router in a contest - if I were to buy one I'd probably lean toward the D-LINK Dir-655 XTREME.

Easily installed. Great coverage throughout our home for 2.5 GHz, less as expected for 5 GHz. Streaming HD videos wirelessly is working great.

I bought mine refurbished in December 2009. Since setting it up it has been 100% reliable, never dropping the connection from our Wireless-G DSL modem to our Mac Pro. The only time this unit has been power cycled was during a power outage. Occasionally the DSL modem gets reset, either because I change the configuration or because it crashes. This bridge reconnects automatically every time, never have to touch it.One thing that confused me during setup was the network speed displayed on the status page kept dropping to 1Mbps. I thought I hadn't found the right spot for it to get a good signal and kept trying different locations. Eventually I realized that it automatically drops the speed when there's no traffic. When there's traffic on its branch of the network, the speed jumps back up to 54Mbps.

Where I placed the roter is apparently a problem, for some reason I had to move it. Then it worked fine.

I bought this after my old router died. Sadly, the designers decided to give it a nice, futuristic shape for no particular reason. Also sadly, thanks to that it won't fit normally into the space it has to go in; it sits at a diagonal angle, and looks just plain stupid, so knowing that they intentionally made it bigger than necessary, it irks me that I have to put up with that. I can't imagine why they design stuff to take up more space than necessary. As another review mentioned, it needs 'feet' to keep it off the surface, but of course in my case, it's wedged into the space at an angle so it IS off the surface.

I bought this for my new Sony Blu-Ray BP-N460 in order to stream Netflix and Amazon On-Demand. The reason I bought this was because Sony recommended it on their website. After having tried the setup on the included CD (which didn't work at all), I went online for help. I found that it is better to ditch the CD and just follow the on-screen instructions with the Blu-Ray player. Those instructions were actually very easy to follow and the Blu-Ray does everything for you. Well, it actually worked at first and I had a connection and everything was good. However, after about 10 minutes, the wireless connection would drop. After a reboot, I had a connection again. Again, after 10 minutes, you guessed it, lost connection. You get the picture. After researching the problem online, I found that it was just not worth it. I returned it and bought the Netgear XAVB101 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit. All I can say is that if you want hassle free internet connectivity, then GET THE NETGEAR XAVB101. It literally took two minutes to set up (plug in the Blu-Ray to one Ethernet Adapter and an electrical outlet and plug the other into your router and electrical plug and your done!). I was streaming in five minutes from the time I opened the box! If you want a no hassle way to stream to Blu-Ray, go with the Netgear. If you want headaches and frustration, stick with the Linksys.

I purchased this router specifically because I had range limitations in the extreme corners of my house. I was upgrading from a competing vendor (NG) solution.Everything about the router I love. I particularly love the USB attached storage on which I have set up a backup solution.But - the range is EXACTLY what I had before. Where I had 5 bars - I have 5, where 4 - 4 ... and where 0 - I still have 0.One thing that occurs to me is the internal antennas. The one model below this one has external antennas - and there are solutions to replace those antennas with powered options etc.I don't have the budget to experiment with triple digit hardware (and - I love the USB attached storage) so ... I'm off to explore repeater technology.
