I was using it to connect a desktop wirelessly with a router. It is always hot (even the computer is turned off), and the light is always on. The speed is slow, and connection is so unrelaible that I just can not use the PC to browse online. Had to buy a wireless PCI card to connect the PC to the wireless router.

I bought the Cisco-Linksys E3000 High-Performance Wireless-N Router to try to improve the wireless connection from our cable modem in an upstairs office to a Roku on the ground floor in order to stream live HD video (MLBTV). The speed of the E3000 may have been faster than the old wireless router (a Lynksys WRT54GL 802.11g), but the signal was much weaker on the 2.4MHz band (3 out of five bars) and especially the 5MHz band (2 out of 5 bars) of the E3000. I attempted to boost the signal using a tinfoil Windsurfer Antenna, but it made the signal even worse. I reinstalled the very reliable $60 Lynksys WRT54GL (5 out of 5 bars), and I returned the Cisco-Linksys E3000 High-Performance Wireless-N Router. I will next try to improve the connection by avoiding wireless with a NETGEAR XAVB101 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit, but I suspect that our original wireless router may provide the best connection after all.

Wow . . . I replaced an old router with this one. The out-of-the-box setup couldn't have been easier. Got a laptop, an ipad, and a Roku player all connected wirelessly with absolutely no problems. Just make the easy setup flash drive and follow the instructions. And it's doing what I asked -- better range. Full HD on Netflix now from across the house. I was usually a 2 or 3 using the old g router. I have no idea what tech support is like because I didn't need them.

This is my second Cisco router. Each time technical support was required during installation. The E3000 set-up was relatively easy to set up, but at first it didn't appear to provide a secure connection. When technical support was called, the customer service representative couldn't explain the security offered by the product. At one point he asked for my password which seemed very much out of the ordinary. After rebooting the system, the security feature became apparent. So, why did I buy a second router? the first reverted back to the default settings which did not provide encryption. Because it was out of warranty, Cisco would not provide technical support to determine the problem. So, bottom line, Cisco does provide quality products, but there is too much reliance upon technical support, and that support has been less than satisfactory. Now, there's an improvement opportunity for Cisco, if they care.

I'm a little disappointed with this router. It has a good range but I expected more from the storage functionality, it crashes when tranfering big files, it complains that my HD is incompatible but all of a sudden recognizes it and the media server works only when it wants to. To sum with, it ended like an expensive normal N router.

I've been using this router for a montha and a half now. It's been flawless. I was extreamly easy to set up. within 15 minutes I had it up and running both wired and wirelessly. I love the file server feature of this router. I, also, find the ability to assign IP addresses based on component MAC addresses to be a very usefull feature. I recommend and have recommened this router to anyone who has or wants to set up a home or small office network.

So I bought this for my PS3 since everything else in the house is Wireless N now. Bottom line: it doesn't work. I get more reliable connection with my PS3 keeping it at it's default Wireless G. At least I could use this to hook up one my TV's that are internet ready, but it makes it an expensive buy for just an occasional use item, and not something like a PC or gaming console. (Not sure for use with XBOX 360, b/c got the MS Wireless N Adapter for 360 (which works great).)

The router is extremely complicated to set up. Had to use Tech Support to get it set up. I set up a network attached hard drive which I now cannot access! I guess the router is ok, but I thought it was going to upgrade my network to wireless-N protocol. It didn't! Says I still connect with wireless-G! Plus, it wouldn't connect with the Netgear print server I had on the network before and Cisco wouldn't help me with it. Neither would Netgear, so I just had to remove it! I think I just wasted my money on this product

Found this while looking for an alternative to buying an $80 proprietary Samsung wireless dongle for my "wireless enabled" Blue-Ray player. I followed the quick setup instructions and was connected to my Belkin wireless router with no problems or confusion. Have been using this device to stream Netflix movies and Pandora internet radio and am very happy with it. Buying a second one so I can move my desktop computer across my office without stringing CAT V cable around the walls. Highly recommend this item.

This is the worst device that I've ever set up in my life. That's the reason that this device only gets 3-star rating. The 3 stars are for the performance when it works. I bought this wireless adaptor for my SONY Bravia TV so I could watch Netflix movies on demand over Verizon Fios Network. The device, which was initialized using its QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE, lasted about a week then quitted working with power LED flashing. I tried to initialize but I kept again getting "wireless device not found Error 109/107?" Suspected it was a hardware problem. Retuned it to Amazon got another new one with new version of firmware. But I still could not initialize it and got the same error. Called the free tech support three times still could not resolve the problem. Finally, I gave up and signed up for the paid service. The tech person took over the control of my computer and walked me through the manual setup. Two weeks after purchasing this unit, it finally works. If you insist on doing it by yourself for manual setup, you'd better read up the user guide for Advanced Configuration. (Per the paid service, if you need to turn off firewall by removing or disabling internet security softwareas Norton 360, you will be able to do Auotsetup. Also, when the power led flashing sometimes means the device needs firmware update)

As many other people have stated, this router gets very hot, as the ventilation on it is extremely poor. Just setting it on a shelf, the bottom of the router would get so hot that I couldn't touch it for more than a few seconds. Once it got this hot, the router would become very slow, and needed to be periodically rebooted. I tried resting the router diagonally against a wall so that the top and bottom would be exposed to air, but this did not help. I now have a little 4 inch fan pointed directly at the router (which is still angled against the wall). With this fan, the router stays cool to the touch, and works great. I would not recommend this router to others though, as you shouldn't have to do something like this for such an expensive product.

Recently bought a new house that was much larger than my previous one. The old access point just didn't have the range we needed to get from one end of the house to another. This reaches with no problems even on the older 802.11G band. I wish there were more options for port forwarding/NAT -- there is a hard limit to the number of entries you can make. Enough for most people, but not for those with advanced needs. I'm a technical guy so I also didn't like the 'easy' setup options they gave. No need for this extra software to slow down my PC. Would have been nice to have a default password for the admin console so I could just go in and configure what I wanted instead of using their software to connect the first time.

Let me preface this by saying that my rating has no bearing on how well the device works once you get it set up and running. I wasn't able to get that far because I could not get it to communicate with my router.While I may not be a computer programmer, I'm no slouch when it comes to hooking stuff like this up. After running the startup disc several times without success, I contacted Linksys customer support. The first time I spoke with someone in India who I could barely understand, and who could hardly understand me. It didn't help that the connection was poor either. After an hour and a half, I was told the hardware was defective and that I should send it back and get another. I did.When the second one arrived, I ran the setup and encountered the same error message. Called tech support again and spent another hour and a half on the phone with someone from India...again. This person was a little easier to understand, but not much better. At the end of our conversation he was unable to help me and placed me on hold so that he could refer me to a "senior technician". After 10 seconds or so, the call disconnected. Three hours with tech support and nothing to show for it! I'm sending the product back and buying one from a different manufacturer.

I had been looking to upgrade my current Linksys cable modem/router (which I had for 4-5 years and virtually NEVER had a problem with it) to the newest wireless-N format and for some reason I decided to try something other than Cisco Linksys. After spending $200 + dollars and 3-4 weeks on 2 other routers from different manufacturers (with which I had numerous problems from setup thru maintaining a consistent connection) I bought this one. Set up was a breeze and once I maintained initial connections for all my devices throughout the house I haven't had a single router-related connection issue. And it wasn't much more expensive than the other lesser routers I tried.

the E3000 has been amazing for the past week. My previous router by Cisco broke in one day of use so i wasn't sure if i should stick with them, but I'm glad i did.Set-up: I'm pretty experienced with setting up routers, but strangely this one kept failing to connect. After a couple tries afterward, it worked without a problem.**If anyone has a similar problem with set-up, i suggest just unplugging all the wires and waiting one minute. After that, just follow the set-up disk once again and it should work**Uses:Online gaming- rarely any lagging so far with either my ps3 or my brother's psp,E-mail/ internet usage- extremely fast :],Once again though, after the stressful set-up, the router worked amazingly. Great price and rarely any lagging leads me to belief that this is an amazing router!

Don't buy this router, or anything from Cisco. This router is crap, and so is their customer service. Do not put yourself through the grief.

When it worked, it worked great. I was using it to stream Netflix to a Samsung Blu-Ray Player. Setup was very easy and fast following the instructions on the CD. I had it up and running in no time and thought how great it was I did not have to crawl through the attic to run a cat5 cable. The problem is that it drops communication with the router (less than 25 feet away) on a daily basis and has to be reset. What a pain! We have frequent power outages where I live and that to would cause a need for a reset. I sent it back and going the hardwire route.

A few bumps along the way in setting up, but once I had it up and running the E3000 has been outstanding. The connection to my wife's PC at the other end of the house is excellent (signal strength 100% and speed of 144 mbps -- about 5 times faster than before). My laptop now connects at 300+. Be sure to install a Wireless-N adapter if your computer doesn't already have one, so you can take advantage of the increased speed of the router.

I bought this b/c I was having wireless connections issues with my ps3. Upgraded my router to Netgear rangemax N series router, setup a wireless N network on the 5ghz band. Configuring this bridge was a snap to find my new network. Followed the directions on the setup wizard (I'm usually not a fan of setup wizards but this one works really well) Connected to my PS3 and experienced a speed increase from 8mb/s to 21mb/s! No more lagging while online gaming and I also stream baseball from my MLB account. Where before I would get choppy and a bit grainy quality and lag( the MLB app auto streams the feed quality based on your connection) now I get full HD streams and no lags!Highly recommend it if you are purchasing it for your PS3 or other consoles

I purchased this unit together with the Sony N460 Blu-ray player. I use the player for streaming video in a 2nd floor bedroom. My desktop and router are in the basement. I have Verizon Fios internet and TV service. The set-up was simple. I did not use the linksys set-up disk. I plugged it into the Blu-Ray player via ethernet cable, plugged in the AC and let the Sony on-screen set-up do the work. 20 minutes and I was watching my first netflix video. The blue lights on the unit are bright, especially at night. I put the unit in the storage compartment under the TV stand. Even closed-up in the cabinet, the reception is perfect. I stream HD content without a hic-up. The images are a little cleaner on my X-box 360 which is also wireless, but that unit is located in the basement closer to the router and uses the X-box proprietory wifi antenna. All in all this is a fine unit. I haven't had problems like other Fios subscribers have reported and again, I skipped the set-up disk that several people on the web reported as being complicated. I also like this unit because in the future it will still be usable with any ethernet equipped equipment.

I bought this on the recommendation of the Sony Blu Ray DVD manual. It recommended it! Even after reading a bunch of reviews I went ahead and bought it on Amazon.com.I skipped the CD set up based on comments here because I have a Mac and a Mac network.So far so good. I plugged it in and used the Sony setup menu. Pretty Soon I had it up and running.Unfortunately, when my Wife and I sat down to watch Netflix within 4 minutes the DVD player lost the signal.I had to reboot the devise again and again and again... well you get the picture.It simply does not work, at all.This is the DVD player that I bought.Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black)

Overall this is a good ethernet bridge, but it has it's problems - both in operation and in installation. It worked poorly with my older WRT54GS router. I had constant loss of connectivity to the router, requiring powering off the bridge and powering it back on. But it works extremely well with the newer WRT610N - it's been a very solid performer against that router. Connections have been rock solid and no power-cycling.Now setup.. that was a little more challenging. And I'll tell ya why. Some toolbox at Linksys packaged the setup wizard for the Mac so that the "contents" of the App package are zipped up, but NOT the root "app" package directory itself. That means you have to:- Create a directory called WET610N.app (remember to type '.app')- Answer "Add" to the "Are you sure you want to add the extension ".app" to the end of the name?- Right-click on the new directory and select "Show package contents"- Put the contents of the Mac setup wizard ZIP file INTO the new directory that you just navigated to in the previous step.- Go back to the previous directory.- Double-click on the new app you just configured- Enjoy configuring your bridge.If I hadn't had to just describe THIS in this Amazon review, then I would have given a better rating.
