I want to buy a router and this it has good features, can you tell me if the router works 100%? I see negative reviews of this product.

router loaded ok(CD) worked great for one day, then needed repeated restarts. Bought the "refurbished" maybe that's the trouble. Need to research the troubles with it. If there is a fix, should fix b4 shipping

I didn't believe negative reviews until I run myself into problem. I can't even setup the router even after several factory reset.

I don't know of a router that will work 100% for every individual's conditions. This download performance of this one didn't work for me, which seemed to affect a few others. Thankfully Linksys verified my model wasn't going to work and Amazon easily replaced it.

Simple answer - yes it does. It is a gigabit wifi router - it allows throughput via Ethernet at 10/100/100.The wifi set up is easy with a laptop or device (pad or phone) - Linksys has ready made, easy to use apps waiting for dl to guide you through set up.The refurbished one I got arrived in mint, 10 out of 10 condition (prolly was just a return) and works really well.

Make sure you set it up correctly. The 2.4 and 5 Ghz channels need to be different names, and the IP address needs to be something other than 192.168.1.1, I use 192.168.1.XXX, with XXX being between 5 and 225...

The router has worked well for me. I'm using it as a bridge to extend the WiFi signal to further corners of the house. It's working well for me.

Not having very good luck at all. Wireless internet is very slow compared to if I hook directly to my satellite internet.

It lost wifi on one occasion and hasn't since, a friend explained to me that if I restarted my router that could fix the problem. And since then I haven't had any issues. I've been using it at work and its been fine all day.

I ended up buying it because one of my coworkers has the exact same router as me Linksys Gaming Router (Gbit) (WNT330 I think) along with this CM100 modem. It works perfectly and never drops away from the ISP (COX communications). If you have the option to manually choose a DNS server on your Router, try 4.2.2.1 or 4.2.2.2. Those are fast national DNS servers (I think they are Verizon servers, but it should work).

Correct. The configuration is a bit complicated, but it's a fantastic router with great features if you know how to set it up.

Very much so. In fact, from the overall feature and rang performance perspective, it still compares well. The user interface is well organized. But could use an upgrade. It is a notch better than the residential routers from the reliability perspective.

J GilbertI Agree with your assessment of Netgear routers. I had similar bad experiences with two Netgear routers where they both went out within two years of my purchase. In fact the last netgear router just stopped working 10 days after the year warranty expired, and Netgear would not provide any consideration. I am convinced their router products are not built to last. Also their support leaves something to be desired.Kenneth H

I don't know, I just hooked it up and everything worked, router might be bad, I have a netgear router, very happy with it.

It depends on the size of your house and the location of the router. I have one of these routers in my house. It seems to be a good router but I did have to put in a range extender due to the router not giving a strong signal in my entire house. I have a 3 level home with the router in the lowest level and the extender on the main level. this made for the best configuration for me. Hope this helps you.

I have had Belkin, Netgear, and Linksys (linux software) routers and by far the Linksys is the most stable. Both Netgear routers died after a year or two and went to electronic recycling. Their (non)support was non-existent and I will never buy another Netgear product. The Belkin seems to work but with limited range. Linksys is a workhorse! Easy to setup and program. It does occasionally loose sync, but will run for months unattended. I suspect it loses sync when wireless devices (I have 5) wake from sleep and require an ip address but I'm not sure. It's just a matter of unplugging the power, waiting 5 seconds and replugging. Always does the trick. I've bought a second (used, non VxWorks) for a relative.

I would say it's a big improvement over the Cisco b/g/n router it replaced, and although it's still not as strong as I would like it, the speeds are noticeably faster and devices aren't dropping off at all like they were before. Compared to the reviews of the other routers that are out there now, darn good bargain for the speed, connectivity, and signal strength improvements. Your results could vary depending on the construction of your housing but I saw improvements for my house which is 3200 sq. ft.

Yes, it's a high quality router, and works with any networking equipment. You still control it with Airport Utility. I wonder why anyone would use other equipment with it. You may pay a bit more for Apple gear, but in the long run, you pay less and the support is fantastic.

This is an excellent router and it will work fine for your computer. However the firmware for this device offers many advanced features that can be confusing if you are not familiar with computer networking. If you have any doubts about your ability to configure a router, Belkin makes several good models of router that require little beyond plugging them in. A Belkin N150 or N300 would be a good choice if you aren't confident in your ability to configure a router.

It's when you place order. It's been working fine without any problem. My net speed increase with this router. If you are planning to use lots of video or smart TV this is for you. Good luck.

I have no idea. Sorry. I have never had a router quit on me. I'm wary of the refurbished thing. They are making a killing out of routers that holding be resold in the first place. If it is refurbished, they should Stan behind their product for at least 1 yr. or 18 mo

Hello - I find using this device very sporadic .. meaning my wifi kicks out every single day.. if I am away from unit say 100 feet - I am NOT very happy at all with the performance - BUT I say this .. not knowing if it is in fact our main router - although I did have another much less expensive device that I used (Securifi Almond-Touchscreen Wireless Router extender) and that worked so well .. but it was not meant for the outdoors. I wish I had done a bit more investigating .. for the money spent .. I am not happy ..sorry ..

I purchased one of these for my parents, and in the 2 months they've owned it, the wireless has been fine. Everything has been fine. It's tough to judge any computer on its wireless ability. Wifi is one area of technology that's still plagued with problems and inconsistencies. I have no doubt that the router or modem was to blame in a good 1/2 of the reviews that you read. But yeah, no problems that we've seen.

My guess is that you got a "dud". I have never had that happwwith ANY router bit. DO NOT USE IT. SEND IT BACK
