What's the difference(warranty, service etc) between buying here & buying on linsys site that says 'certified' refurb? Is warranty International?

There is no difference. The refurbished warranty is from Linksys and is for 90 days. A new one is for one year. It makes no difference where you buy it. Sellers on Amazon get their refurbished products directly from Cisco just as other online or retail stores do. If you have a problem with it you can return it to Amazon during the first 30 days.

I am afraid that I cant answer that. The one I bought was bad (It had to be unplugged at least once a day to reset). I did not pursue any action. Sorry that I could not be more help.

Linksys gives 90 days warranty to all their refurbish routers. This comes from Linksys so it's certified too. Personally I buy my routers refurbished. Routers have no moving parts and consist of one board so a "broken" router only needs the board to be changed and is new again. Another thing to consider, when you buy a new router and for some reason it dies, they will give you a refurbished one. I have a 2500 for almost 2 years and the 1500 for aprox 8 months. Both are working fine and are refurbished. My previous router was a Dir 655 refurb that lasted 4 years until lighting struck through the ISP cable.

If you click the link immediately under the details that says "X new from..." or "X used from..." you can see a list of those sellers offering the product and in what condition. There is usually even a small description of what you'll be getting if it's a used product. The currently offered used one does have a pretty detailed description. Refurb (used) items will usually include everything unless otherwise stated, but it's a good idea to check the seller info to get an idea what is included in the box you will receive. Sometimes, annoyingly, the only time you can contact a seller is after you've ordered.

Based on the $183 price, I would say refurbished. In my experience, if you have questions after purchase, the company that provides the 90 day warranty wont respond and neither will the redistribution company. It's kind of a coin toss.

I believe that the only time a warranty is good is if it's bought at Home Depot. All refurbs do not carry a warranty.

I called and spoke to someone on the phone and they told me it has to be an Amazon purchase, however someone else asked this same question and there was a bit of discussion on the topic. I decided to buy the warranty here on Amazon and just give it a shot. They did accept my registration and my receipt from a product purchased somewhere else. I sent them a copy of my receipt as part of the registration and then called to confirm that everything was good to go. Personally, I'd much rather buy electronics here from Amazon whenever possible. The only reason I didn't buy my computer from Amazon was because they couldn't match the student discount I got elsewhere.

The unit I purchased was new. It still operates well. If you'll recall, I was railing against refurbished units and a reader directed me to a site where new units were available.

Remanufactured in this context is same as refurbished. The unit I got was in box new condition. Not even a scratch..or fingerprint. Likely previous buyer had buyers remorse and retuned..so unit considered used. It is a hefty price..but a top of line toaster..and ideal size!

Don't buy from Amazon they sell you a Refurbeshed Computer mine lasted about a month just long anuff to be under warranty of 30 days. Paid a lot of money for an item I was told was NEW and now it's junk !!!!!

The only difference I noticed was cosmetic stuff- logos, and the voices when it powers up, etc. If you buy a refurb though do so at your own risk... I'd suggest buying new.

L.F. -- Thank you for your reply. I was just a bit hesitant whether it was refurbished, etc -- I've decided to put it in.

Yes. 1 year warranty. I was able to register mine. Refurb units only have a 90 day warranty.

I take a different point of view than most of the other responders. I would NEVER buy a refurb as my primary computer, but if you're looking at a system for gaming or music, then a refurb is fine. I do agree, though, to stick with a manufacturer-refurbed unit.

I live in US. came with US warranty, I don't know about international warranty. Sorry, but I don't want to give false information.

I assumed it was factory refurbished, but don't know for certain. Purchased from BestBuyDirect2u, and listed as 1 year warranty and 30 days free support. I also assumed that since this is apparently part of Best Buy, they get the refurbs from manufacturer, but this seller is the only one who can truly answer your question. I only paid $156+ for mine, although I see this seller is now selling for $189 + shipping. Still, I am extremely pleased with the item and purchased it last August. My surround sound system installer recommended this remote over the new ones IF I could get such an awesome price. With some of the negative reviews, I assume that some people must just get lemons.

I think these may be counterfeit, or if not, certainly refurbs. The two I ordered were scuffed up and the one I tested didn't sound too good on eithe end. I sent them back and ordered a different brand. I agree with an Gordon that Amazon is a very high quality Web retailer, and I don't think they knowingly misrepresented this product. They were great about the return...sent me a pre-paid label and everything.
