easy installation and inexpensive!
This lil' linky does wonders for it's price. I got it up and going in about 15 minutes. First I connected my cable modem [provided by roadrunner] directly to the WAN port and out from the LAN port I connected my already existing HUB with both my computers already connected, and in about 2 - 3 steps and one restart both my computers were prtected by a firewall. It couldn't get any easier. I was prepared by downloading the latest version of the firmware before i even got it in the mail and b...

Best Consumer line of routers on the market today!
This is without a doubt one of the best purchases I have ever made. I mean it. This device is everything it is advertised to be and more.I had a ADSL line installed into my home in August. Since that time I have attempted to get multi-computer access to the Internet via a multitude of methods. I have attempted to setup a proxy server. This method works but was difficult to setup and never seemed to work with all Internet based services. I also spent 2 months trying to get a Cisco 675 ro...

It's a piece of "broadband"!
If you are looking to connect your existing (or new) home- or small business network to the Internet, this router is your best choice. Within an hour, my small home/business network was connected to the Internet through this router and a cable modem. That includes a few minutes looking for a misplaced patch cord and available outlet. Because my ISP will think only one computer is connected to the Internet, I save additional monthly charges. This should pay for the router within a few months...

Good product for the price
I have used this product for about 2 months and have been very happy with it. I use it to share a cable modem internet connection among several computers in my home office. The Linksys was very easy to set up, and can easily be configured to host a web site or ftp site on one of the computers inside the firewall. I was especially happy that I didn't need a static IP address from my ISP; the Linksys works equally well if you have a static or dynamic IP.It may be lacking high-end featur...

Great for DSL users on a budget
I have a small home network (8 PCs) and needed an economical internet sharing solution. I had been using an NT machine running Wingate and ZoneAlarm. However, running a separate box as a router/firewall was tying up the machine and Wingate has a few quirks. I decided to try the Linksys and haven't regretted it. I had the product installed and working in 15 minutes. I have a separate DHCP server and didn't have any problems. Reportedly, the unit corrupts large downloads, but the latest ...

Cable/DSL Router
Wow. That is all I can say. Right from the box, I plugged in the cables, put in the power connector, re-set my TCP/IP settings to default, with IP address given, and I was set! I just re-booted my computer, opened up IE and did some basic tweaking, and I was set! Instantly, my whole pre-existing network was connected to the internet. The stacking designed helped me minimize my space usage, with a bridge, two hubs, a switch and a print server, I just plugged a straight-through cat 5 cable to one ...

A breeze to install and improved security
This little box is a marvel. I've had a DSL line in my home for about a year, and up until now the way I was splitting the feed through my home network was by running an old computer and Linux. Unfortunately, since I'm a Linux newbie, I was not comfortable with the security issues of my home network, because I was not sure whether the network was properly configured for maximum safety.The Linksys router resolved these issues for me. For starters, installation is really simple. Take the bo...

No Problems Here
After all my research on this router versus Netgear, I chose the Linksys due to price and assuming it might be more compatible with my existing 10/100 5 port Linksys hub and cards.After hooking it up to my Com21 cable modem, it interfaced wonderfully with my system. No problems using it with Comcast@Home service. If you follow the instructions, it installs flawlessly. Of course I didn't follow them, being in network support, and I had to fiddle a bit. Nonetheless, I imagine anyone with li...

Easy setup, good features, great web-based interface
I just got the 1 port Linksys router to share a Verizon Online DSL connection between multiple PCs. Setup couldn't have been simpler; just connect modem-router-hub, and you're done. The Linksys does all DHCP setup and supports PPPoE.The web based interface, without a doubt, makes the product. Just navigate to http://192.168.1.1 in your browser, and you can view status, PPPoE settings, DCHP tables, and even do more advanced stuff like prevent certain PCs from accessing the WAN, redirect por...
