      Comments about Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router with Storage Link:

      I hooked up the router, and it is successfully providing wi-fi throughout our apartment. The (very brief and simple) instructions were written assuming that I was setting up a router for the first time, but I was replacing an old router that failed, so the instructions were difficult to follow for that purpose. Also, at the end of the process, I was told the firewall had not installed properly, but was not given useful instructions about how to correct the problem.

            Comments about Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router with Storage Link:

            Relatively painless setup and it's worked without fail for the past 6 months. The advanced setup tabs are a bit daunting and the instructions aren't clear about installing software on both the local and remote machines. But it does the job every day.

            Comments about Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router with Storage Link:

            While the router works great and was easy to set up, I cannot get the USB attached external Hard Drive to show up on my network. There are NO set up instructions that tell you how to make this work. I got tired of holding for Tech support after 15 minutes on hold.
