AWESOME ROUTER FOR THE MONEY!!
I bought this router a couple weeks ago after having to replace my 4-5 year old wireless B Linksys due to a new laptop purchase and a compatibility issue. My new HP DV-1130us laptop has a wireless GN internal card and so instead of getting the less expensive wireless G router...I figured I would spend the extra money and invest in this model to see what it could do especially because it was on sale.brbrI installed and setup the entire network in less then 10 minutes with no hassles what so ever....

Very good, but as with all routers, knowledge helps
Ive had this router for 2 months now. It was very easy to install nice installation routine recognizing my existing network and configuring the router properly.brbrGood speed and range but I am not in a very largehard to connect place so that may be relative.brbrExcellent form-factor sizelooks and a slim wall-wart.brbrOnly problem and i suspect that this is common on a number of routers not just Linksys initially was prone to dropping connection...got on their on-line tech support and they had ...

Works fine with Mac
For years, we have been happy users of a Netgear MR314 wireless router. But it didn't reach the farthest corner of our home. In looking at various routers, I found many mixed reviews for the newer Netgear routers, so decided to try the Linksys WRT160N. We use almost nothing but Macs in our home.
Setup: Forget the included CD that comes with this router, it is Windows only. It does have the User Guide as a PDF buried in one of the folders. But it is not much help.
Instead, j...

Beautiful looking and easiest set-up ever!
I noticed a lot of so so reviews and was wary until I read a professional review praising it's easy set up. I decided to go for it and boy am I glad I did. I happen to be a novice setting up PC related stuff but this router was cake to set up. Be forwarned; however, my intention was to simply set up wireless with encryption and nothing else. I had no desire to set up a full blown network with file and printer sharing. I simply wanted encrypted wireless for my xp windows pc and vista windows lapt...

Linksys WRT160N Ultra
Overview - We are on AT&T DSL running the Elite broadband which is 3-6 Mbps. Our average speed is running 5+ Mbps here in the office and that is with Vonage VoIP phones (6 lines) and 4 laptops
We just hooked up the the Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N router in our new office onto 3 Dell laptops and 1 LG laptop. After the intial install on all the laptops running Windows XP Pro, we had only one minor glitch and that is a firmware upgrade needed on the Intel Wireless 4985 ca...

Beware!!! Ensure you have the right version!!!
I have had version 2 of this router for about 2 months now. I have learned a lot about this router during that time, and I DO NOT recommend that you buy it unless you are somewhat network savvy and want to deal with a potential hassle in order to get it working.
Here's the explanation: there are 3 versions of this router. All of them have suffered from problems with the firmware provided by Linksys to run the router, such as failures to resolve DNS. In the case of versions 1 and 3, th...

Only works if you install DD-WRT
I was having a lot of trouble with my old netgear router dropping 802.11g connections so I picked up a WRT160n router from Best Buy hoping it would solve my problems. Unfortunately the WRT160n also kept dropping my connection from a MacBook Pro w/ Airport Extreme.
In a last ditch drastic effort I flashed the factory firmware with DD-WRT v24 and it has been rock solid. It was a pretty easy upgrade but its not for the faint of heart. I believe flashing the firmware voids warranty on the...

FINALLY A GREAT ROUTER THAT WAS EASY TO SETUP!!
We spent over 8 hours trying to setup a cheaper router - it constantly cutout and lost connection .... returned it and waited awhile to try another router because we didnt want the hassle.brbrWhen purchasing our laptop we decided to get this router... it was very easy to setup - took about 30 minutes ... not hours. Weve got broadband ... 3 computers 2 printers and a wii connected to this router and it works perfectly wo interruptions. It was easy to setup a secure network and the overall setup...

Big house? Not for you.
I ran this as N-Only and compared its performance and range to my existing WRT54GX2. For reference I am running Vista64 and use a Belkin N adapter (F5D8053). I am spanning a distance of three floors and about 80 feet horizontally with lots of obstructions (walls, windows, doors, etc).
Range was significantly less than my older router, went from Fair/Good (2-3 bars) to Poor (1 bar) with frequent timeouts to the router. I assume the internal antennas in the WRT160N are not as capable...
