Great for Linux Users by hasselaar "belgie" on amazon.com Sep 29, 2011
I have had a lot of Cisco Link-Sys stuff over the years, My last Cisco router worked quite well running Linux, although there were a few problems with the use of SKYPE. I used it for 5 years. I purchased the model above last Christmas, it is working ...
 
Works nicely by Andy on newegg.com Oct 9, 2010
I would recommend this router over the WRT54GL because of the faster speed and more memory. On the WRT54GL it would take a whole 5 seconds to load a page on the DD-WRT firmware, with this router the pages load instantly. The only issue I had with the ...

Cisco-Linksys WRT160NL - Great Product by Robert S. Daugherty on amazon.com Sep 18, 2010
This was my first experience with a wireless router. The ease of setup, use, and the transmission range, plus the security features have me convinced it is a top-performer. I am extremely pleased to have purchased it after the necessary research. Additionally, ...

piece of junk by N/A on newegg.com Jun 7, 2010
after lying to tech support about where i was and talking to a different person they worked with me and still couldnt get better than 2 mbs. sent this piece of junk back where it came from for a refund.
 
Pretty much a total piece of junk by Ned Ilincic on amazon.com Sep 11, 2010
The problem with this router is not the hardware, it's the software that comes with it. After initial installation, it became impossible to do anything - to add another device, change the password, etc. The software just gets stuck in an infinite loop ...

Wireless didn't work by breakid on amazon.com Sep 11, 2010
In general I was disappointed with this router. The switch worked fine, but the wireless was defective and never worked from the time it arrived. I have limited experience setting up wireless networks so I figured I had the settings wrong. Well after ...
 
I would not suggest it. by DenisSpb on amazon.com Sep 8, 2010
Bought new one on Amazon (non-ref). And have the issue: fresh after reboot it shows speed about 20 Mb (my internet connection). But after half a day-day it goes around 3Mb. This behavior can be observed everyday :(. Wrote to support - did not receive ...

Cisco Linksys WRT160NL review | Wireless routers | Reviews | PC Pro
The new WRT160NL doesn't break this mould...What it does boast are a few features beyond the usual wireless router fare, the most interesting of which is Storage Link...You can impose user- and group-based read and write restrictions, and the WRT160NL has a UPnP media server facility, so you can stream media stored on your external hard disk to a connected player or computer...So although the WRT160NL is reasonably priced and boasts a good range of features for the money, we can't recommend it...
