    This budget router provides good throughput and range for the price, but you'll need an expensive connection card if your notebook doesn't have 802.11n. Read more

    I have 2 wired computers plus a wireless laptop that I use at home sometimes - my work computer. When setting up the router I replaced an old Linksys router, and the step-by-step instructions were good except that when done, there was not message telling me so. I was on hold on the service line for 30 minutes, when I got frustrated, restarted my computer and everything worked great. Read more

    Team, My WRT54G died on me and I ran out and bought a 150N without reading the reviews. I have version 1.1 and with the latest firmware 1.0.1.9 from Linksys, this thing drops internet connection on both wired and wireless connections. I decided to investigate to see if it's a hardware or software issue. It turns out to be software as I am using DD-WRT v24 RC-6 (01/02/08) mini - build 8743 and all my connections issues are gone. My router is now stable and I can say that... Read more
