You just got your high speed modem (it could be cable, DSL, fiber optics . . . something nifty), and you've got your computers, and you've got your wireless interface cards. Now you need the final element: the router.
With four wired ports and the wireless connection, you're ready to take on the Internet and all it has to offer. Or maybe you just need a local network off the 'Net for your small office. Maybe you'll hook your desktop up by cable, and carry your wireless laptop to your favorite sitting spot. Control and configuration are easy with browsers like Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox 3.0 (or newer). (It's best to do your configuration from a hard-wired connection, not the wireless.)
Could this be the router for you? That's your decision, not ours. We'll be here, cheerfully waiting for you while you make up your mind.
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The router has a very good set of features
Cons: This router will not function properly under the defaults it ships with. Make sure you set the 2.4Ghz band to G-only and the 5Ghz Band to N-only, i also recommend setting the 2.4Ghz band to a specific channel (6 or 11) and the 5Ghz to wide channels.
Other Thoughts: I can see this product being improved a lot by firmware work either through Linksys getting their act together OR by dd-wrt adding support in the near future.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Sleek, cool looking, similar to a Civic with a body kit and rims. It may *look* fast, but its not.
Cons: Where to start. In the one day I spent helping my buddy set this thing up, the little $#!% should have come with a bottle of Advil. LELA didn't work, so I tried to fall back to manual config. Couldn't get DD-WRT to work on it after giving that up. Finally we set it up using minimalist configuration just to get it working, and the signal is junk. Poor software (firmware) and poor hardware (antenna, or apparent lack thereof) make this an average device, only mildly better than netgeer junk; still leaps and bounds above d-link though.
MAJOR con: This replaced the WRT600N, which is now no longer available!!!
Other Thoughts: I would have thought that Linksys, made by CISCO (I have many certifications and have taken CISCO classes, I'm not new to networking...), would have had the whole internal-antenna thing worked out before implementing it into a consumer device. I have never held much stock in Linksys firmware, and this time I didn't have a chance to double check the compatibility of DD-WRT before purchase (I didn't buy it). Firmware, often (exception being this device) is the only thing wrong with Linksys stuff. I would put this in the lower end lineup of Linksys devices, try to find a WRT600N, use Bays of the "e" variety if you have to.

Did you?
Pros: Well, its a router, and works fine. Is it supposed to do something else?
Connected with Rosewill wireless card, works good. Easy to install & setup.
Cons: LELA software is bloatware. Installed and then upgraded it. Then it could not find my wireless, but it still worked.
I hooked my USB, there is a learning curve with Vista, to get this working. Mainly permissions issues. Not intuitive to setup as a network device, but got I working from another XP & Vista box.
Other Thoughts: Setup software failed to see my cable modem initailly, had to reset it and call cable service to reset MAC address, then it was OK.

Very Unreliable, Subpar support

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Great features: Dual N-band, File access, very sexy.
Cons: Extremely unreliable. Mac Pro cannot stay connected over 802.11g. Dell laptop with Intel 5300 cannot stay connected. Requires daily reboots to re-establish connectivity. Even wired ethernet is unreliable. Latest firmware upgrade doesn't help.
Other Thoughts: Contacted Linksys and was informed that, based on the serial number, this product is no longer under warranty.
