Linksys E2000 Wireless Router Selectable Dual Band Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz up to 300Mbps

Pros: There's a healthy debate regarding which wireless router is really the best. If you're a techie and run your own network, it doesn't get much better than the E2000. Upgrading to either the DD-WRT or Tomato open source projects makes this a very flexible platform. Out of the box, the unit is relatively locked down, converting the E2000 into a pass-through access point is quite challenging. The factory software was designed to be used as secure gateway/router (primarily as an interface to your ISP). Upgrading to DD-WRT will improve bandwidth by a factor of two, plus give you ultimate control, like VPN and better access control and routing.

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you're not technically inclined, you may have better luck with an AirPort product. Just my .02 worth.

Pros: So far, I have been highly satisfied with this router. I live in a large 3 story house with 10 other college students, and needed something that could supply all of us with high-speed wireless internet access (something our previous router couldn't do). Out of the box, the E2000 was already able to cover the entire house. After flashing dd-wrt (which was incredibly easy), and upping the xmit power, I can now get full bars everywhere in the house (and probably across the street as well). The gigabit switch is also very nice - everything is blazing fast.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I debated whether or not to flash the firmware, as the native firmware was actually pretty good. My techy side won out though, and installing dd-wrt was a breeze - just make sure you download the correct version.

Pros: Running 24/7 for over a week with zero dropouts; no resets needed. If you're familiar with Linksys routers, there's no need to use the setup CD because the browser-based setup utility is easy to use. Strong, steady signal throughout a fairly large house. Personally, I like the indicator LED's on the top panel. The lack of any easily visible LED's on the latest E-series (E1500, E2500, E3200) is one reason that I bought the E2000 while it's still available.

Cons: No complaints thus far. Runs slightly warm, but definitely not hot. Really no warmer than the modem.

Overall Review: The E2000 replaced an old Linksys wireless-B router (BEFW11S4). Old router needed frequent resets; none needed with the E2000. Running stock firmware; don't see a need for DD-WRT or Tomato.

Pros: This Router has been amazing for me. The range for the wireless extends through my whole house without issue. I have a network with 4 PCs, 2 XBox 360, a NAS, and normally about 4 I Pod Touches connected to my network at once. I replaced my Linksys WRT54G with this router because I would commonly have my previous router crash due to the amount of traffic going through my network. This router has never crashed and handles the traffic like a Pro. Some of the other features like being able to turn the internet on and off at a certain time as well as block websites with specific words has made for easy parental control. The Gigabit line puts it over the top.

Cons: None

Pros: Great router for the money got it when it was on sale for $65. If you use the DD-WRT software you get all the features that you want and more. I'm a networking specialist student in my 2nd year and has more options that I know what to do with.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: It is dual band but you have to choose either 5ghz or 2.4ghz so If I could change anything I would have spent a few dollars more and got the E3000 for the dual band running both at the same time and you can use a external HD for network storage.

Pros: Small footprint no antenna. Looks are pleasing to the eye.

Cons: Wireless N died after 3 months. network speed starting jumping around from 124mbps down to 5 constantly. I was 8 ft from the AP. I rebooted the AP to try and correct this problem and never could get SSID to show up again. I connected to the AP through wired connection, set AP to G only and was able to get it to work again. N speeds were nice while it lasted, but I basically have a Wireless G router now. I also had trouble getting my Brother wireless printer connected to it. Change the Hrz from 5 to 2.5 and that solved the problem. Playstation would not commuinicate with it either. PS Fault.

Overall Review: I really should give this product only 1 egg since it no longer works as it was built to work, but I guess the way I see it, I still have a usuable wireless router at least as good as what I had before, for now away.

Pros: Pretty much everything! Bought 2 of these on sale (great price @ $70 apiece) and installed DD-WRT to wirelessly hook up my HDTV and DVR to my home network; also plugged in my PS3. Set it up as a bridged network and now the PS3 streams across the network BETTER than when I was using the PS3 built-in wireless NIC. Signal is strong at opposite ends of the house and hasn't dropped yet. I haven't had to reboot at all although I have rebooted occasionally after making some changes on the router or the bridge. These have been GREAT routers for me! As always, these arrived in record time from Newegg, one day earlier than I originally expected. Kudos for the terrific delivery time.

Cons: None that I've encountered!

Overall Review: They may run warm with stock firmware but using the DD-WRT firmware and following the suggestions from the DD-WRT install guide for this router to slow down the processor speed to 300MHz and reduce the transmit power from 74mW to 50mW, I haven't had a heat-related problem yet. As a precaution, I did add some feet to raise the units off the counter so more air can circulate underneath them but so far, they have been running perfectly! Highly recommend these routers!

Pros: Initially this router worked quite well. Good streaming speeds and connection signal in whole house was good.

Cons: After 5 months the unit gets hot and cuts internet connection off. Sometimes a power cycle will help but usually needs to cool down. Tried blowing it out but does not help.

Overall Review: Called Linksys tech support to get help with repair or warranty replacement. Person on the phone told me they would not help me with out payment even though device is within 1 year warranty replacement. Contacted Linksys on Facebook. Said they snet me message to get help but never did. After years of using Linksys exclusively they have now lost my buisness.
