Product Description
Linksys' Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router is actually three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

No problem here... September 5, 2010
Kostac (Indiana, USA)
I expected the setup for this wireless N-router to be a pain, based on some of the reviews, but I guess I lucked out. My home network is in the same sub-net as the router and I have no devices on 192.168.1.1 that's the router's pre-set address. So I just patched one of the Cisco switch ports (not the broadband one) into my broad band router and then opened a browser to 192.168.1.1, changed the address, set up wireless SSID and security and stuff and it was in service in less than 20 minutes.
I'm using this for additional switch ports and as a wireless-N media access point and as a backup for the broadband interface, so I didn't need to do the broadband setup. I never did use the install CD. So if your LAN setup is like mine, give this setup procedure a try. If this thing gets flaky any time soon, I'll post a followup. I'm happy with this $30 device.
 Not Good, Bad September 3, 2010
M. Hauser (Grove, Oklahoma)
I have purchased two of these things. The first one worked perfectly for about two months and then it stopped working completely. The second one worked sporadically from day one. I bought this for my grandparents hoping to give them the wondrous capability to surf the web from where ever they were in their house. Unfortunately all they got was a bunch of tech visits from me. It never worked longer than forty eight hours. Eventually I just got sick of trying to get it working and I returned it with no hassle. I like Lynksys, but this product is just not worth it. You get what you pay for, I payed for cheap, I got cheap. If I were you, I'd probably go with one of their newer more reliable models.
Works great!!! Thanks to DD-WRT!!! September 2, 2010

Immediately after getting this router today I installed DD-WRT without even testing the default firmware. This works great and router is cheap also. I did not need an $80+ router for my needs.
Thanks for the other reviewers for their reviews on this router which helped me decide quickly.
this is junk September 1, 2010

This is the most unreliable piece of electonics I have ever purchased. First off it keeps locking you out of the website by changing login procedures or passwords. Originally I had to use customer support telephone to get it to work. That lasted about a month. Now it disconnects my cabled computer and broadcasts nothing for the wireless to pickup.
It is the most complicated setup I have ever encountered.
Obviously this company has zero quality control and lack of credibility in "ease of setup" wording.
This item has a negative value as it fouls up the computer it should not even be interacting with.
 Worthy Inexpensive Upgrade September 1, 2010
Erwin Alva (Sacramento, CA)
I will echo the feedback of other reviewers here: This router is junk until you update the firmware to DD-WRT. Once that's done, you'll wonder why you have to spend over a hundred dollars for a decent router.
The bad news is it seems getting an upgradeable version (Broadcom chipset on 1.0 or 3.0) is a roll of the dice. Also, if you don't feel comfortable enough with networking hardware (you'll hear "30/30/30 reset" a lot), I suggest going the easier route (buy a different router).
I used this link to do my upgrade:

If you get Version 2.0, you're out of luck and stuck with a 30-dollar junk.
