Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Linksys by Cisco EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch (BEFSR41)
Customer Review: Linksys BEFSR41
Summary: 5 Stars
Out of the box and running in 10 minutes. I had to re-route the cables so it really only took 5 minutes to get it up and running. Best to know you Network's requirements before you physically hook everything up.Customer Review: Does not do Windows 7 !!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
The 2 Linksys routers I received from Amazon December 17, 2009 each came with one CD and no other documentation. So I tried to use the CD's to set the routers up. Unfortunately these CD's don't work with Windows 7. I managed to contact Linksys support, but all they had to offer is some VERY difficult written instructions which offered only a barebones, far-from-complete installation.

Summary: 1 Stars
I used this for 3 months before upgrading to Windows 7. Don't know if the upgrade had an effect, but the router never worked well after that. I spent about 8 hours with Linksys and they wound up blaming AT&T. Spent more hours with AT&T who were quick to blame Linksys. Dead end here and no guarantee. I wound up buying an AT&T modem/router which installed easily and works fine so far. Beware using this router if you have AT&T DSL. Customer Review: Don't Buy!
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this router and tried to set it up. Couldn't get it to work after spending an hour on the phone with the Linksys support people. They finally said it was defective. Went back to the store to return this router, and bought another one (same model). Same story! Spent another hour on the phone with Linksys; this second router didn't work either. The Linksys support person said this router was also defective. Returned this second router -- total time spent: 4 hours including travel to and from the store twice. And still no router.
Solution: went to a different store and bought a Netgear router. The Netgear router worked beautifully right out of the box. It took 5 minutes to set up. It's also much more classy looking than the Linksys router.
Moral of the story: DON"T BUY this lousy Linksys router. As I look at the reviews posted here, it seems that more and more people have had trouble with the current Linksys routers. I'd recommend you check out the NETGEAR routers instead!
