Customer Review: Don't waste your money...
Summary: 1 Stars
Picked up one of these at Best Buy tonight, a version 3, according to the sticker on the bottom of it. Using wireless, when I had it in the same room as my desktop with a wireless NIC, I would get 54mbit connection, but it took the pages of it's config (accessed through a browser) forever to load, sometimes timing out altogether.
When I finally got it totally setup and moved it 2 rooms away (to where my cable drop is), most of the time Windows would time out before it could get connected, and when it did connect, my connection dropped to 12mbit.
This thing needs some external antennas and a swift kick in the ass to get moving. Do not buy.
Customer Review: Doesn't like more than one connection

Easy to setup, easy to use and good software that comes with it, but the connections keep dropping if more than one computer is connected over wifi.Customer Review: Excellent Router

I purchased this wireless router since I have had good experience with LinkSys product. And as it turned out, the setup was easy enough for me to understand and it has been pretty reliable so far. I have no complaints on anything. Security feature is great too. I'd highly recommend for anyone who wants to upgrade their router.Customer Review: great until firmware upgrade bricked it
Summary: 2 Stars
this router was great for 9 months, never dropped connection all that time, never had to reset.....it reached two floors, all corners of our house and guest house out back. forget the included cd, you can just use the web interface to configure from any computer. I had it working with macs, vista, linux using Belkin pcmcia(atheros), intel 2200,rt2870. had v2, did not buy here. was having difficulty I think with ivp6 under linux so i figured i would upgrade firmware as there was a new version. tried to upgrade via web interface and ethernet connected to xp machine and halfway thru that the router dropped the connection. resetting, etc., would not revive it. no longer will router assign ip at all, apparently is bricked. what stinks is that I didn't do anything wrong, will try warranty i guess. had to break out my old walmart Belkin n-mimo which was less reliable. watch out upgrading firmware. now reading that maybe should have downgraded,not upgraded the firmware. oh well..my Belkin is resolving dns just great, stuff loads instantly, unlike the linksys. just have to reset the stupid thing every couple days....Customer Review: Worst Router Ever...

If you have a PC this router is great, but if you use mac stay away. Cisco trys to market this product to Mac and while it might work there are no solutions to the problem. It still would timeout while trying to connect. Beware mac users
