Linksys WRT120N Wireless-N Home Router

easy purchase came before described .

I've used many different wifi routers, and this one by far is the best. My laptop works like it's connected directly like to modem. I'm not sure why everyone's complaining, it hasn't crapped out once, it's super easy to set up, and downloads are a brezzy. The only con is that the internet connection in the back is a bit loose, but that's nothing that can't be fixed.

I have never rated a product so low but, in my experience, this router is a piece of junk. After spending at least three hours on the phone with Linksys tech support, they told me the modem was broken and to send it back (which I did).I'm glad I bought the router from Amazon because returning it is quicker and less complicated than if I had bought the same product from Cisco/Linksys. The router also cost considerably less at Amazon.But that's not the whole story.I ordered a new modem because I was told by Linksys that my two year old Linksys modem was broken. That was after spending another 3-4 hours on the phone, shuffled back and forth between Linksys and my dsl provider. Because I no longer had a warranty on my "old" router, I paid $39.95 to Linksys for six months of tech support (it cost $10 less for one time tech support).When I spoke with Linksys before receiving the new modem, they told me it was easy to set up by using the included CD. I tried and it screwed up my entire wireless connection, which I previously could use by plugging the Ethernet cord directly between the modem and my laptop.Towards the end of the process, the tech support person suggested I uninstall their software. But guess what?! It could not be uninstalled from the control panel and there was no folder for it in the programs menu.After I got of the phone entirely frustrated, I decided to do a system restore. Thank goodness it fixed the problem with my internet connection and I can now use the internet by keeping my modem and laptop connected. I no longer can access the internet wirelessly, so now my husband and I take turns connecting our laptops to the modem.I called Linksys Customer Service and asked for a $10 refund because I could only use their tech support for one incident because my "old" Linksys router was broken. They refused.If you decide to buy this router, or any other one by Linksys, I suggest you call tech support rather than do the installation from the CD.I want to add that the tech support people were always courteous and tried their best to help. When you call, the phone is answered quickly.I don't know if I'm going to get another wireless router but, if I do, it won't be a Linksys. If it's not broken when you get it, there seems to be built-in obsolescence. Don't expect it to last long.But do expect to possibly spend a long time on the phone!

I did a lot of research prior to buying this router. It was extremely easy to set up, and is easy to use. However, once the 14 day trial period for the Network Magic software expired (and I'm not even sure what the trial was for), reliability has become a problem. I've had to use the wizard that came with the router software to reset the router at least 3 times because of connective issues. The range has never changed, so it's not a matter of signal strength being low (signal strength is always excellent).Overall, I'm disappointed with my purchase because I expected reliability. I do have several items connected to the network (printer, cell phone, laptop, and Wii), so that I'm pleased with, and the price was right.

The setup, configuration and connection took a while but was great.The following day, the router won't transmit any signal from the modem.I had to reset the modem and the router to be able to re-establish the wireless link-up once again.It does work great now albeit from time to time, I get disconnected, then connected again in a matter of few seconds.I do not think it's something of a major concern. Guess it's some slight design defect since this line of Ciscorouters is the first of its kind. Probably would need some extra touch or some sorta improvement from Cisco.From the way it works now, I believe it gets really stable with time. Dunno if its stability gets established with time. But i could say now, my wireless network with the modem is very stable!Data transfer is somewhat great. So, all in all, i think is a good value for the money.

I bought it at a really great price. I thought this was really a steal from amazon. It is really a great gadget for such an unbeatable price. Works perfectly perfect. Easy instructions and easy setup and all that. I like the design as well. Overall, it works like a charm. I would highly recommend the people to buy this product. It's well worth the money spent, and more than that.Thank you.

Great product

This Linksys WRT120N works great.This is the only router I have had that can send a signal throughout my apartment. Does'nt matter what room or device,the Playstation 3, my laptop and my BD390 Blu Ray player, all have no issues with wireless connectivity using this router.A co-worker recommened this, and he said his signal transmits a full block away from his house!I got mine for $39.00, so im very satisfied with my purchase!
