Great router! Excellent value! by Peridot6000 on amazon.com Jul 6, 2012
I love this router! It was a breeze to set up and, unlike my previous Linkys router, it covers my entire home, which is about 2,100 sq. ft. I may need an extender because the signal is a little weak in the master bedroom, which is on the other side ...
 
"Superb in all regards" by Vidableek on cnet.com Oct 22, 2011
We bought this at Walmart, brought it home, and had wireless set up almost instantly. The process was very easy. I am especially a fan of the option to allow "Guests" use the signal with a password that allows only internet access, but not full network ...
 
Lightspeed in comparison to a G-router by Khoalety on bhphotovideo.com May 1, 2011
I can't believe the much fater speed in comparison to my Linksys G-router. I got 2 VOIP phones, a PC, a laptop, an iPad and an iPod Touch hooked up to the router, but the speed didn't slow down a bit. It took me about 10 minutes to set up this router. ...

Nice and responsive by negeungrevrhaf on newegg.com Apr 29, 2011
I bought this to offload the NAT and wireless processing from my ISP's modem, which was starting to reboot under load and made Internet browsing impossible while downloading two files over HTTP at the same time. No problems with the Linksys router so ...
 
The perfect fit by Frederick C. Hulem "Fred" on amazon.com Jun 30, 2012
The router was exactly what I was looking for; compact easy to install and fully functional. Not sure what I was going to get from DirectTV for a modem and sceptical of refurbished items I was a bit aprehensive about my purchase. However, once I opened ...

Apple Product Owners STAY AWAY! by Deborah G Watson on amazon.com Jul 7, 2012
This product has known issues with Apple Products. And Cisco does not seem to worried about finding a solution. The only guidance given is "Upgrade the Firmware." I did this and found that it made no difference. I found the issue after buying and installing ...
 
Linksys is trash by Hellgearone on newegg.com Apr 18, 2012
The customer service is outsourced to India and they are trained to frustrate you by giving you the run around until you give up. Good luck trying to get someone who probably never owned a computer to actually do something to help you. Linksys sucks and ...
 
"Not as dependable as I was led to believe." by wfover on cnet.com Jan 27, 2012
After 12 hours with first tier technical support trying to reset ip addresses etc. and replacing both the modem and router, I was compelled to escalate the problem to a a conference call with supervisory tech support at Cisco and a level three wireless ...

WAN port did not work by A. Guida "Slovko" on amazon.com Jun 20, 2012
The only thing Cisco should have certified when refurbishing this product is that it is certifiably defective garbage. Router's WAN port was unable to establish any connection to the internet and no activity from the WAN port's activity light. Wasted ...
 
Refurnished Trash by Knight on amazon.com Jun 6, 2012
I bought this item because after reading so many reviews, it seemed like a good idea to buy a refurnished router. However, it didn't take me long to realize my MISTAKE. I followed the instructions carefully and for a moment I thought it had installed ...

Before investing in a dual band router, it's a good idea to check out what you want to run and be sure it will work...The 5 GHz band is excellent for those data-intense applications, but your router has to be located well to give a good signal...A good setup for those people is to put your video and games on the 5 GHz channels and to run your regular Net surfing and email devices on the 2.4 GHz...

Newegg.com - Linksys E2500 Advanced Dual-Band N600 Wireless Router
As with every other Netgear product I have previously owned, this ethernet switch is extremely well made (metal casing...not plastic like most other switches) and most importantly, operates exactly as listed! Highly recommend! none This is a cheap startup router...They don't speak good english so you can't understand half the words they are saying...I would recommend this router for someone who is looking for a basic, shorter-ranged dual band router...

Cisco Linksys E2500 Advanced Dual-Band Wireless-N Router Review & Rating | PCMag.com
Sustains good signal strength at distance...2.4 GHz performance much better than that of the E2000...Easy setup and management....No Gigabit Ethernet...Performance at 5 GHz band not as robust as that of the E2000, last year's model....The Cisco Linksys E2500 ($99.99, direct) Advanced Dual-Band Wireless-N Router is part of the new lineup of E-Series routers...However, I found the throughput of the E2500 a little disappointing...Still, the E2500 is good enough...
