Speed up your home's wireless network with Linksys's Wireless-N Home Router. The wireless router utilizes 802.11n standards and is able to transfer data at a bitrate of up to 600Mbps with a strong signal throughout your home, so multiple computers can simultaneously stream HD videos, use VoIP, or play online games without lag. The router is easy to set up using your web browser or the included Network Magic and Setup Wizard software. Devices utilizing Wireless-B or -G signals instead of -N can connect to the router without issue, since the router is backwards compatible.

This replaced older Linksys G 2.4 which was very user unfriendly to install and deal with. When it died I bought this and the set up was a breeze.
It comes with a wizard that even a complete novice can easily follow to complete the installation. Piece of cake! Very refreshing.
My only complaint is that after the installation is complete it prompts you to install Network Magic which I did assuming it was necessary and part of the package. Then once that is done it prompts you to use it to replace the Microsoft network software. I did not elect to do it as the Microsoft network manager works fine as is. What is really annoying, is that Network Magic is in the form of free trial version which ends after 10 days or so and it pops up to ask you to register it and probably pay for it. I have removed this unnecessary software.
A side from that little annoyance the router works great!

I use the product because I don't have a cable connection in my den. It works very good and was really easy to set up. I am not very computer savvy but I was able to get things up and running in just a few minutes. The installation cd was easy to understand.

It works but the setup was difficult. I called a professional finally and it took him about an hour to set it up and network 2 pcs and one printer.

Easy to set up (I have a Mac based system) and works perfectly. It was easy to get my wireless printer working, too. Dollar for dollar, a MUCH better choice than the Mac Airport.

This isn't the fastest router on the market, but it's a great product for the price. Easy to set up and uses the same security interface as other Linksys routers. I saw a significant increase in the range of my network from the old G signal.

Comments about Linksys Wireless-N Home Router:
Very easy setup. We got it so we could have more than one computer/laptop connected at a time at our second home. The setup was very easy - step by step instructions were provided. We were up and surfing in a matter of a few minutes. The software that comes with the product simplifies the home network, however they tease you with a free trial for 7 days. The cost is about $24 to purchase it, which is not that big of a deal, but still...
