Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys WRT350N Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link
Customer Review: Avoid this product if you use more than one wireless connection
Summary: 2 Stars
The firmware has serious problems in many areas:
NAT: doesn't save settings, you must try more times before getting it right
Wireless connection: if you have more computers connected the connection will drop continuously. Even every 2-3 minutes
USB storage: Very limited features and many times it doesn't work or save settings.
From time to time you need to reset it because the DHCP server stops working.
If connected through DHCP to the provider, it won't rapidly recover from a connection drop.
The only positive thing about this router is the easy to use management web interface.
My suggestion is to avoid this product because it needs a new, more reliable, firmware.
Customer Review: Poor Router That Does Not Function As Advertised
Summary: 1 Stars
Linksys have released a real dud here. Don't buy this router if you're looking for (a) reliability, (b) good customer service or (c) USB storage connectivity. You'll be disappointed, I promise you. This is at best an early beta of a product that promises a lot but reliably delivers very little. Plus the maddening customer services where I literally spoke with 4 people on the same call - each time patiently explaining my issue and being told that they couldn't help me (but incesently telling me their faux-English name and badge number, whatever that is). FYI, I tried everything up to and including the 1.05.8 firmware without luck. Fortunately was able to return this POS to Amazon for a refund and replace it with the great D-Link DIR-655...Customer Review: A good product function-wise, but a big disappointment when putting into use
Summary: 2 Stars
This product is a good for my need: 802.11N and a built-in media server to serve the D-Link DSM-320 media player I bought. The built-in ftp server and remote access to storage is also I want.
However, this unit doesn't provide internet connectivity after setup. The setup procedure is straightforward and easy to follow. I can see the router obtained the DHCP IP address via the cable modem. But in the end, I cannot reach internet from my LAN PCs. It appears the NAT function simply breaks.
I am on the latest firmware. I am waiting for the response from Linksys Tech support before I can decide what to do next.
A big disappointment considering the band recognition Linksys receives.
Customer Review: Great bgn router
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this rouer used and as oposite of what many people says about this router, it is great stuff, i give it four stars on set up as i was new to N routers and as an N newbie had to learn but once done it is quite easy. The stock firmware is very bad, and fortunately as it carries Linux software i flashed it with DD-WRT firmware and never had a reliability issue. I use my laptop in N, the children's desktop in G and wife's in B so everybody has it own signal. DD-WRT firm has the option of raising the TX or lowering it not to be seen far away by neighbors, i use with 31 mw and lowered frequency to 252 Mhz also, so router lasts more because it works a little bit warm, and the performance is bassicaly the same.Customer Review: WRT350N working great
Summary: 5 Stars
I installed this to use with my Desktop (XP) and a Laptop (Vista), the Desktop wired, the Laptop wireless. The wiring of the Desktop was easy, I installed the software, followed directions and startup went perfect (did need to call my ISP for one piece of info). The Desktop worked flawlessly.
The Laptop came with a wireless card so only needed a menu setup and it was working, at least I could connect to the internet. When I tried to set up file and printer sharing with my Desktop (the printer is connected directly to the desktop) I found the lack of any explicit instructions related to this was a problem for me. Several days of internet research finally resolved it and now all works perfect.
