This is a great router it is easy to set-up and I love that it is more sleek looking than the older routers but I had a little issue for the price. I work in electronics retail and I know that the Linksys's new N routers start at about 59.99 and go on sale for 49.99. I feel that price is still relatively close to this router for just 44.99 for a G. I went ahead and got this one anyway because I had some Amazon.com credit to use. I live in a small apartment so the reception is great all around it, I haven't tried it farther away. Overall a simple good router.

Customer Reviews

Good Router - SWS -
I've had this router for over a year and it has never failed me. This is a good router for an apartment or small house. The only problem is that the range is not the greatest, if im outside about 50 feet or so from the router i get a very weak signal, though i hardly ever am that far away from the router. Overall good router.

difficult setup -- after that it works great - Dimitri Vishnepolsky - nyc
the bad:
Awful installer CD. It runs slow (10 minutes), is very inefficient and crashed causing me to do system restore on my computer. The router will not work unless the installer is run from the CD. I wound up resetting the router, and running the setup manually without the CD.

the good:
Router doesn't need to be reset. Signal strength is excellent inside the apartment and outside. The data transfer rate is great.
