Great Router! by prquindara on cnet.com Dec 14, 2010
yes it lacks the gigabit but all my stuff is wireless anyway so it works great for my setup at home. wifi bluray player and computers connects easily and setup was a breeze took less than minutes (of course not counting taking out old router and cables)

Great Vizio XP Router by Donald Fleming on amazon.com Jun 5, 2012
Great Router by Vizio to go along with their TV & DVD. Works perfect together and most of all very easy to set up. Vizio Tech support the best I've experienced.

Disappointed by overthehump on amazon.com Jun 20, 2012
I read most of the reviews before purchasing this product. It seemed to work pretty well for a week or so, but lately it has been locking up, transferring data very slowly, and generally being a PITA. At first I thought it might be my computer, but I ...
 
very unreliable by adam727 on newegg.com Jul 8, 2012
I plan on buying somthing else, with a better reputation like Netgear or Linksys.
 
This product is terrible. Do not waste your money by Wireless785 on cnet.com Dec 3, 2011
It works for very short periods of time. The Vizio customer service is useless. I have owned this router for 4 months. During that time I have been on the phone with customer service for 30 plus hours. They have sent me two routers and will not refund ...
 
Great range - resets all the time by G. Eberly on amazon.com Mar 8, 2012
I don't see much difference between G and N, but maybe that is my computer's fault. In any event, this is super easy to set up. The range is great. The only problem is that it resets itself 3 or more times a week. I try to avoid this by resetting ...
 
FAIL by Jeffrey B. Fanselow "fan_solo" on amazon.com Jan 14, 2012
Hours spent with tech support. A year wasted. This thing licks - and Vizio wouldn't do anything about it. They said the reason it failed was WALLS. Full-on BS. I purchased a MediaLink router to replace this router, and it works perfectly. Unlike ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: VIZIO XWR100 Dual-Band HD Wireless Internet Router
I would buy one again, and definitly recommend this to anyone wanting to watch HD streaming TV...Highly recommended! ****Update 2/17/11***** The router worked great for about 3 weeks, then suddenly I started having significant range and connection problems for any of my networked components more than a few feet away from the router...I noticed this was particularly bad in the evenings when I would see many other neighboring wireless networks popping up in the scan for local networks...
