I am not very computer savvy, but I had this router up and running in 10 minutes. Super easy installation. I have a 3200 sq ft house on two levels and the range is more than adequate. The speed is the same that I get on my regular internet cable connnection. Great product, great price, I'd recommend it. The only thing I can't comment on is durablility, I only installed it yesterday.
Decent yet crap at the same time.
I can't comment on how easy or hard it is to set up because I only set this up once to show my dad how to do it since it's his, and haven't touched it in years. I can comment on the connectivity to it though. We have a 3 story house we live in, and unless you are on the side of the house the router is on, rooms below the router, you will have excellent connection. However, if you are on the opposite side of the house, you will have terrible connection. I got sick of trying to use this in my bedroom on a desktop with the wireless connection that I went back to using a network cable. I kept losing connection to the internet. I now use a laptop in the familyroom and it gets nothing more than low connection unless I move closer to the router.
While using my desktop, I even took the router from the main computer room and brought it along to my room to see if the connection would pick up and it did.
So unless you will be on the same side of the house of this router, it's not the greatest. I might get low connection in this room on my laptop but I am able to still be connected dcently to the internet which is good compared to when my desktop was in my bedroom. It is now in the basement below the router and has excellent connection.
In the end, decent but could be a LOT better.
Junk ...
Simply stated, this router doesnt work. I have made countless phone calls to tech support, spent hours trying to setup and reset up access and still have no connection to the internet. Last night, I spent an hour on the phone with a Linksys tech who got everything working great, but 10 minutes after the call, all of the configuration settings were gone and the router simply wouldnt hold a connection.
The best advice from Linksys techs on the issue has been to return the router and get another one, which I have done 3 times now, so this will be the 4th return, but this time, I will be getting my money back instead of another router.
