Pros: NONE. I bought a SR10000 range extender last year and it's been working well. Since our router is aging, I figured I should just get the "same model" for the router to make life simpler. What a mistake.

Cons: A piece of junk. It keeps dropping internet connection. Don't take my words. Search "R10000 internet connection problems" and you will see that this is common. Yes, I re-flashed the firmware. Yes, I tried different channel. Yes, I am not using the range extender so to isolate the issues. Yes, the older router still works etc.

It would work for a few minutes, then like a character in the Game of Thrones. POOF, it's gone. Why? Who knows. Reboot the router and it would work ... for a few minutes. POOF dead again.

Pros: It works.

Cons: Very poor web based set-up. Set up is very time consuming for static IP and other changes. 80 seconds for every IP entry. The option to configure from client list exist but fails to enter the address correctly.

Other Thoughts: I could not recommend this unit at this time because the annoying interface. The unit works well so far but it's really not any better than less expensive ones and after all the time it takes for setup and changes it is not best choice.

Pros: Range and speed has been great! Just over one year and I have not had a single problem that the router was to blame. Multiple users online gaming through wireless connections and never and issue.

Cons: nothing after more than 1 year.

Pros: None

Cons: This router kept dropping and not connecting with my divises. I hired a pro to correct my errors. He set everything up, within 20 minutes it was not working. I called and requested warranty exchange. Eventually they sent me a new router. I had the pro out again, within 20 minutes it was not working. Save your self a lot of grief, NOT BUY THIS JUNK,

Manufacturer Response:

We are very sorry to hear about the negative experience you've had using your R10000. If it's not too late we would appreciate the opportunity help you with any inconveniences you are facing. If you can please send an email to techsupport@ampedwireless.com with your contact information. We will have a supervisor contact you ASAP.

Pros: Very good signal strength, easy setup.

Cons: Ugly! Annoying blue LED's.

Other Thoughts: I think it's funny that people complain about the cradle that holds this unit vertically, like it's too much trouble to put a dab of glue on it or some double sided tape...

Anyway, this router completely smashes the brand new Netgear Wireless N router that I bought a few months ago. It replaced an aging G router that finally bit the dust, but the new Netgear had about 20 feet of range.

With this router, I get full signal strength anywhere on my property, and this is exactly what I was looking for.

Pros: It delivers the power and range, as advertised. Very easy to set up for basic network configuration. I wanted a power wireless router, and I got it. I also like that I can swap out the factory antennae for bigger/better ones.

Cons: Inadequate documentation: not enough details about specific options within the feature sets. I wanted to know more about the VLAN configuration, but didn't get anything useful from the interface or from their tech support via e-mail. Their replies boiled down to this: "If you don't know what it does, don't touch it." Not helpful.

"Smart Features" aren't all that smart. Parental controls, access schedules, IP/MAC access control, VLAN, QoS, etc. Are all there -- good! The bad news is that they don't work all that well, and only work globally -- not granular to each Guest network or VLAN. I wanted to set up a separate network for my kids with parental controls and access schedules, different from those for grownups and A/V devices. I was disappointed to find out that you can't do that. The smart features are "all or none" configurations.

I was especially disappointed by the QoS smart feature. Simply enabling it brought performance down to a crawl, for all clients -- and I hadn't even configured any yet.

Minor nitpicks that say "amateur hour", not "professional":
1. Blue led status indicators that aren't labelled (later found information in the PDF) -- hardly useful for at-a-glance diagnostics.
2. System clock has SERIOUS mental illness -- it's fast or slow by DAYS, not hours/minutes. This is made all the worse that it doesn't have native NTP support to keep itself sync'ed (heck, my oldest, cheapest Belkins had that). So I have to routinely check the clock and sync from a client, when troubleshooting issues.
3. "Reboot Now" button appears after pretty much any configuration change, and I quickly learned that you cannot make changes to multiple configuration pages unless you reboot between them. For example, when you enable a guest network, you have to Reboot Now for that change to take effect; and then you can switch to the Security page to configure the security parameters for that guest network, and Reboot Now... AGAIN. Lather, rinse, repeat for each ASP page that has configuration settings.
4. The management interface is mostly decent, but a couple of things could be made better. Accessing major features like Guest networks through a small gray button that's lumped in with all of the other Wireless settings is NOT obvious, and even counter-intuitive. Separating Security parameters on a different page than the other settings (and requiring Reboot Now! between them) isn't user-friendly, either. And having to use a small drop-down menu to toggle between the Main and Guest networks is obscure and took me awhile to figure out.

Other Thoughts: Ultimately, I had to settle for a very basic, single-network configuration that delivers good power and range. Trying to use any of the advanced features was frustrating, and diminished overall performance. If you want raw POWER on a SINGLE network, the R10000 delivers. But if you also want flexible features and granular controls, the R10000 falls short. I like the R10000, really I do -- but I'm disappointed that it isn't as richly-featured as I expected for the price.

Pros: I bought this Amped wireless R10000G router because of its high power dual amplifiers, antennas boost wi-fi performance and extreme wireless coverage. Setup was easy but had conflicting ip addresses. I called the Amped technical support and spoke with Albert with Concierge #116 and received an excellent support from him. it feels so good to get a technical support person who knows his stuff, who has a very good knowledge of the product in question. Albert is a genius, he resolved the issue within minutes and I am now enjoying the router for those reasons for which I bought it. Thanks to you Albert, A++.

Cons: None!

Pros: works good, but sometimes hard to connect.

Cons: Sometimes hard to connect.

Pros: Great Speed! A whole lot better than my Belkin router I use to have.

Cons: Range is not that great! Will need to upgrade for the outdoor antenna. The bottom holder will not stay fit with the router since its pretty loose.

Other Thoughts: You get what you paid for!

Pros: Ease of setup. Had an issue and worked with
Abel - Concierge # 113
who identified the issues and helped as a tech should in a non condasending way. He was professional and extremely quick in the positive resolution that i needed.

Cons: nothing really, the stand for the router should have either tape or a screw as it is not a snug fit

Other Thoughts: Amped stands behind product
