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 ...

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...

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...

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...

Pay attention if you got WRT160NV2 or WRT160N! After reviewing several router options I have chosen the WRT160N as my new router, actually my main point was to use the DD-WRT firmware with it, partly following several reviews here below and from several forum.
Once I received this router I tried to work with the CD provided but it had a problem to run.
No problem, I had installed some routers in my life and this one didn't take more the 10min to install including wireless configurations.
immediately after installation I saw th...

Fixed all my problems FINALLY! A router that fixes all of the problems I was having. My old router, a D-Link Draft N had trouble connecting wirelessly with my Dell Laptop and my MacBook Pro. (Draft-N routhers don't all conform to the same standards.) It did work with my iMac wirelessly and it did OK with my wired connections.
So, I decided to tey an Apple Airport Extreme. It worked with all my wireless devices, but supprisingly did not do well passing HD TV Shows from my Media Center PC to my Xbox 360 ...

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...

Good but not enough - poor VPN support I have used wireless networking at work for quite a while but had put off installing it at home for security reasons. With a few new gadgets that could take advantage of new high speed capabilities, I decided to jump in and ordered a WRT160N to replace my existing Linksys wired router.
The wireless router showed up very quickly on my doorstep. I unpacked it and was very impressed with the small size and the good looks. I appreciate technology, but I like the style of this unit sinc...

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...
