Comments about Linksys EA-Series EA4500 Dual-Band N900 Gigabit Router:
I upgraded from the 4 years old Linksys WRT54G to the EA4500. The improvement in performance is felt from every corner of my (two storey) house.
Setting up the EA4500 is extremely easy. Any novice can do it by following steps in the Setup CD.
I have only been using the EA4500 for about two weeks. So far, haven't discover any negative aspect of the product.
