Wireless N Confusions Tech Level: high
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: This router supports two bands, 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz. For optimal performance on ANY dual-band router, use the 5 GHz for the N devices and the 2.4 GHz band for the B/G devices. The storage link works perfectly, although the external hard drive must be formatted as NTFS to get maximum data transfer rates, even though manufacturers default to FAT32. This router is also directly upgradeable (through firmware) to the ...

Not recommended. WRT600N not a mature product as of Feb 2008 I am finally getting around to posting this review. I see that more recent users have been having good experiences with this product so I am considering giving it another try.
This review was originally drafted in Feb 2008 as I was preparing to return my second WRT600N with no intentions of getting a third.
Recommendation: after attempting to get two WRT600N's to work, I have come to a personal conclusion that the product is not mature and needs much more work. I appla...

Almost Perfect I have had several wireless routers over the years, both Netgear and Linksys.
I developed problems with my internet connection. All PCs in my house would sometimes get a very slow connection. The problem had to be the modem or the router. I had my eye on the new "pre-N" routers for quite a while, and decided this was as good an excuse as any to buy a new router. (It turns out the problem was with my Modem, but that's another story.) I especially liked the WRT600N because it is the fir...

Promising but like all Draft-N routers...not up to speed I just bought a new Asus laptop with N capabilities and wanted to realize its full capabilities. Did some research and discovered that a lot of people have trouble with the Intel chipset and the earliest N routers as they were only operating at the 2.4GHz. I can't vouch for those issues but this router certainly delivers the speed. My wife's old laptop connects at 54MBs, while mine connects at ~270MBs. Signal strength is excellent throughout my house on the 5GHz band. Setup was a breeze. It c...

Best Router I've used. This router is great assuming you configure it right and use it with the right equipment. I configured the router so that my good laptop is on the 5ghz network (using the Linksys WPC600N wireless adapter) and all other wireless equipment using b,g or 2.4ghz-N connect to the 2.4ghz wireless network. Yes, your wireless computers will be connecting to two different wireless networks but as long as they're in the same workgroup they can still see each other. Its true, out of the box the 5ghz network...

works as advertized Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Purchased after reviews on smallnetbuilder. This is one of the only dual radio options on the market, it's nice to be able to do wireless G at 2.4GHz and wireless N at 5GHz at the same time. Had no problem setting up the 40MHz channel at 5GHz, the 2.4GHz band was too crowded for the wide channel. It's been running solid for about a month so far, no unexpected disconnects or resets. I did some benchmark...

Nicely Done Linksys! Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Works well in mixed mode environment. I'm running a notebook computer with an N wireless adapter and another notebook, two PS3's and other devices on B & G. I've dedicated the 5GHz channels to the N adapter on my notebook and all others running off of 2.4Ghz radio. Works like a charm. Lightning fast tranfer rates on the N adapter. I use the N notebook for business and back up regularily to my ser...

Excellent - range, speed, secure and easy We want a router that covers the whole house, that is fast, and secure since my wife and I both access business information from home. I used to use 2 802.11b AP but still not satisfied and added power-line Ethernet
for the 6 computers we have. Selected WRT600N based on the reviews for range and 5.8GHz 802.11n.
I am very happy with the router that offers long range, good bandwidth and security. It is easy to set up after the initial confusion. Tech Support was helpful but...

'Very disappointing... I'm no networking novice, and I struggled to get this unit to work with a modicum of security on one band. The "N" remains useless to me. Historically, I've used SMC routers, and even had luck with D-Link, but I've never been this frustrated with setting up a router.
I've caved and replaced it with the Linksys WRT54GL. There are far fewer bells and whistles, but it works like a charm right out of the box, and is highly configurable with third-party firmware upgrades. It also costs...
