Has anyone compared this against the TR-Link routers? For example, the TR 6120 and the TR 5120? If so, why one would get one of these as opposed to the TRs?

The Peplink unit has a smoother transition for failover and live streaming statistics that are nice for monitoring traffic patterns. Additionally the Peplink load balances cleaner than the TRs. I've used both and prefer the Peplink units. We run a Wireless ISP and use both units, but prefer the Peplink for "real-time" multi-wan configurations.

No, sorry. I'm so happy with the performance so far that I haven't yet entertained the idea. I'd stick with Cisco-Linksys. My brother got the E-1200 a couple of months ago and he's happy.

FYI i ordered this router and received it a few days ago. it is in fact a Version2 model. U can tell by the red sides and top on the box. It installed flawlessly and has been up and running with both bands for 3 days without incident. I think you will find the woes everyone have had were mostly with the version 1 rendering as my experience with the most recent version has been excellent. Dont let the bad reviews fool u or scare u away. Linksys now has their act together on this router. also be sure to use the included software as instructed. Its easy.

Quick question; I continue to buy wireless components and was wondering if there is a limit to the number of wireless devices that can connect to this router? I have, computers, playstation, printers, DirectV boxes for several rooms, etc. that are all wireless and I would like to know the limtations of this device. Thanks in advance. ~ Gunner

Hey I actually have the exact same question. I just bought a TR4M to go with this board. What were your findings? I just tried booting it (I'm running Ubuntu off a thumb drive) and the system hung for a while before presenting me with a laundry list of conflicts. I'm curious, did you try this out? What did you end up doing?Thankya!

I have this model and use it often When I purchased mine there was another model without the guide and it was more money. If you do purchase a router use good bits they cost more but are cheaper in the long run. They won't break and last longer. hope this helps you. This is one of the best routers you can buy. It cost more but its worth it.

NOT SURE, Robert . . . I was on Century Link with a Westell model and the 600N really 'blows-it-away', SIMPLY WITH A MUCH NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN SPEED. I use mine 'hard-wired' with my iMac and MagicJack using 2 of the 4 Ethernet ports. Now, "ASSUMING" that ATT and basically ALL 'PROVIDERS' use the products that 'win' their 'bid' at the LOWEST cost, (like NASA), I have to "ASSUME" it may be of the same, LOW PERFORMANCE as what I originally had. I used theirs for the FREE, one-year period, and got this IMMEDIATELY afterward. But, unlike NASA, selecting the LOW-BID / MEETING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS products isn't gonna "KILL" anyone! I am glad / happy with my choice, NOT being a 'techie' or 'geek'. - Jay NOT SURE, Robert . . .

I ordered on Friday and received today (09.21.09). I received a v2. I, however, want to use DD-WRT firmware on this device and as I sit here, it is working fine with default Linksys software after a couple attempts with DD-WRT (no success).

I wish you luck. The D-Link knocked out wireless on my laptop! I couldn't get that returned fast enough. The Cisco is powerful and goes from my second floor all the way to the basement. It has 60-70% signal strength down there. My only complaint is that it seems to reset periodically and you drop signal but only for less then a minute. You apparently can't make changes locally but have to do so in the cloud. I haven't changed anything yet so not sure how I will like this.

I have another router set up on a table so I don't know which table would work best for this kit. I'm sure that you know this already but which ever table you decide to buy make sure that it has a universal adapter so that your router will fit properly to the table.

I have the TREND net AC1750 and have been more than pleased with its capabilities. When buying a new router I did so much research i knew more than the sales people at most retail stores (best buy, office depot). This was the best one available and had a great price at $140. I have a 30MBS internet connection and that is more than enough for streaming on multiple devices at one time. Let me know if you want anymore information...

I've been using it for over a year with few problems. However, I don't have a great mounting location, so the signal degrades after about 30' through walls, books, wires, etc. I tried the new Cisco E4200 and the performance is worse. I discovered that the stronger signal gives the greatest bandwidth. I assume that weaker signals have more dropout and therefore are slower. I tried using it with the DAP-1360, but the extender was in a bad location and the speed was slow. I have 20M dn/4M up cable modem, works great closer to my office, but speeds slow down in the family room: 3-10M up/0.5-3M up. Bottom line: since the speed in family room is better wine: since the speed in family room is better with DIR-655 than E4200, I assume the 655 has bett

Maryanne, I haven't used it yet, just got it a few weeks ago and haven't used it. I picked it up for small router not sure yet. When I do I will post..

Rockler has great router tables that won't break the bank. I have one and i love it. They have a throat plate that is specifay designed for this router which makes installing it extremely easy because the holes in the plate line up with the holes in the router. Honestly any router table would work with this router (woodpecker, jess-em etc.) but these can be a bit pricey.

I used a 690 PC router with excellent resuults. Had to re rout my table to fit the plate on the Master Lift II by Jessem/Incra. It has very smooth operation and a universal gripping system that fits many routers. Like the fact that the lift has a locking feature on the top that works well. The reason I used a 590 is so that I could incorporate a speed control which I feel is vital. Good luck. D. Keigley

I'm very happy with the noise level of my Triton router, using it as a plunge router. I have a table and mounting plate, but have not used it in that config yet. But I'm sure it would be even quieter when under a table
