    Awesome Router - Great Signal

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 9, 2006 | 6 out of 6 found this Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router WRT300N review helpful

    Pros: Easy to Set up

    Cons: Hard to connect to with a Firewall

    I happen to have a huge house and this router is wonderful. I can sit on the other side of the house (which I could never do before with other Linksys or D-Link routers) and be wireless. It was easy to set up as long as you set up all item at one tim...e. I happen to have two computers linked, a print server, wireless printer, and an internet phone service. I tried to set up a firewall figuring that if I got such good reception my neighbors would as well. I was able to only set up one ocmputer with the firewall the other was impossible to program as the network key that I thought I programmed would not let me connect to the network. So, I turned off the firewall. The help desk was not much help - they told me that my internet provider was to blame and the internet provider told me it was the router. Needless to say I gave up on th firewall. Read more Less

    Linksys (Cisco) WRT300

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 28, 2006 | 3 out of 3 found this Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router WRT300N review helpful

    Pros: It works

    Cons: Antennas cannot be replaced with high gain, performance with A/B/G is not as advertised

    I purchased the WRT300 to replace a WRT54G that died (probably because I installed 3rd party firmware that allowed me to boost the XMIT power by a factor of 10, though a post-mortem has not yet been done). The product information claims that it wi...ll provide increased performance with wireless A/B/G connections in addition to the alleged gain of Wireless-N (which I have not yet tested). Unfortunately, the actual performance appears to be worse. Despite a better signal-strength reading than I had with the 54G, my connection speed is lower. The 54G would reliably connect at 54Mbit even at a signal level of less thaan 50%. The 300N however, will not connect at greater than 36Mbit (frequently much lower), even from a distance of 7 feet with a signal level of 83% (currently only 12Mbit at 84% at a distance of 7 feet, in the same room). I am rather disappointed with this performance. I would have been better off purchasing another 54G and a pair of high-gain antennas. The antennas of the 300N do not appear to be easily replaceable, unlike the 54G. Read more Less

    Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 21, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router WRT300N review helpful

    Pros: Very easy to install and set up for the non-technical user.

    Cons: I haven't noticed any yet.

    This unit provides more than adequate support for multiple computers over the entire building. Have had to call Tech Support twice for help with connecting older computers to the network and found the Tech Support staff very efficient and ready with ...all the answers to get us up and operating quickly. The power flow is consistent and downtime has been non-existant. Speed is fantastic and supplies all our company needs. Software that comes with the unit is easy to use. Read more Less

    OK so far

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 15, 2006 | 1 out of 1 found this Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router WRT300N review helpful

    Pros: good coverage

    Cons: none yet

    This product has good compatability with my, all G network, so I can't say anything bad about any problems with a multi format network which other reviews have mentioned. It eliminated dead spots my former G router had and now I am hoping to upgr...ade my PCI cards for N cards to check out the speed. Read more Less

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 3, 2006 | 1 out of 1 found this Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router WRT300N review helpful

    Pros: Easy to use

    Cons: Unstability and bad routing

    I bought this router because I have had an old Linksys router before. The reason for going away from Linksys in the first place, was that If more than 3 computers share the same dsl line, the router only let one user have a good connection, while it ...routs the other two to a poor connection (I have a 6000/3000 line). I thought that this problem was fixed and solved now, but no. As soon as I started using the new Linksys router, I had the same problems as in the "old days". I have packed it down again and will return it to the store. Read more Less
