Is this a good router? Or should I just buy a SB6141 and keep my current Linksys E4200? Waiting for Comcast to swap my old one 3 weeks... time to buy!

I think this is a very good router. This is well worth the upgrade., but that is my opinion. The only issue was getting the Comcast tech support to recognize the new router. After they figured out that we needed a reboot after configuring, it came right up and I haven't looked back since.

I haven't had a problem with mine. Works great use it on Comcast in NE Florida. If I have connection issues usually on Comcast end.

It's a great router! If you have a late model Apple product or other high performance equipment that has the 802.11AC WiFi installed, then you want to get this modem/router, it's a noticeable difference from the 802.11N.

I'm curious, has anyone tried both the Apple Airport Extreme 5th Gen, and Linksys e4200? Feature wise they appear the same, but what about in terms of reliablity

great router and a big improvement over my previous comcast n aris. use 2.4 as more stable and use channel 11 and 40 mgh for 4 times greater speed than default wireless settings. the router will not perform up to the modem speed about 1/2 the speed of direct wired ethernet connection. got dropped off regularly using the 5 so i switched back to the 2.4

I run a small pc repair business, I've configured a lot of WIFI setups for customers. The hardest and the worst routers I've come across are Linksys. I purchased that one and finally just to get it out of my site sold it for 10 bucks. Never again will I purchase products from Linksys. Expensive, terrible support, and just plain not worth the effort. Check around Amazon for some really good deals on "N" routers, 20 or 30 bucks tops and no problem setting up. Hope this helps.Stevix

Hi Timothy,I have purchased more than a dozen FVS336Gv2 routers for my clients and also deploy them in my own offices. The v2 has a significantly stronger processer than the previous version; I wouldn't want anything else. The v2 is NOT what is in the picture; the ports are in the front and only the power is in the back. HTH,Keith Parker

Unfortunately not. I returned the router and bought a Technicolor model from another supplier for $169. same as the model Comcast is renting.

This is a gigabit router... I seriously doubt your internet provider will outgrow this modem anytime soon... :)My old crappy router that I rented from Xfinity was a megabit router... Old technology... I'm very pleased with this router...

What model router do you have? I see it's a Dewalt but is it a plunge router? There's only one lift for a plunge router that I know of called a Router Raizer that aren't that expensive. http://www.routertechnologies.com/ Get the extension, it's worth every penny. For a standard lift, I know they can run up to $500 for an electronic lift. While that's a great feature you can still create repeatable cuts with almost any lift. Try checking Craigslist in your area, maybe someone is selling a lift. Good luck!

You're welcome, Joel !! If you have any questions about my Router Comparison, please post them here. I'll do whatever I can to help you get the info you need to make a wise and frugal choice. During my extensive testing, the main concern has been to get the best overall performance -- as measured by range, operating temperatures, connection speeds, connectivity, latency, packet loss, jitter, V.O.I.P., ease of setup, and physical appearance, too.

My Linksys has been nothing but problems. It finally went out a few days ago. I bought a Belkin and it's been rock solid and has not dropped any connections yet. My Linksys dropped connections on a daily basis. Once the Xbox went on, the problems began.

I ended up buying it because one of my coworkers has the exact same router as me Linksys Gaming Router (Gbit) (WNT330 I think) along with this CM100 modem. It works perfectly and never drops away from the ISP (COX communications). If you have the option to manually choose a DNS server on your Router, try 4.2.2.1 or 4.2.2.2. Those are fast national DNS servers (I think they are Verizon servers, but it should work).

Hi, My advice is to return that piece of garbage,I bought it but I installed like a month and a half after, the worse router I ever had, very poor signal range, connection drops constantly, I tried to return it but it was too late, I threw 70 bucks to the garbage, if you can, again stay away from that router it will give you many headaches. It is the last time I buy a Netgear product. Good luck!

I don't recommend to buy anything from Linksys (it is not stable at all even you do upgrade firmware, wifi connection is terrible as well). You definitely should reconsider and check something from D-Link (for example D-Link DIR-655).

This is a good modem it is primarily used For CenturyLinks High speed DSL,Make sure your using the right modem for the Type of DSL you Have and if your able to increase your DSL speeds if available in your area This should solve your problem,in the worst case scenario you will need to downgrade your Modem to a slower speed DSL Modem which is Cheaper than this one exchange it get some money back Talk to your ISP,they are an excellent source of the set up and equipment you will need.Set up is a breeze or it should Be.Have a Good one and a speedy internet connection Bye.

I have Comcast and have been happily using the SBG900 modem for years. I'd say whomever you're talking with at Comcast down't know what they're talking about.

This will not replace the router, this is a switch only. Get a router e4200v2 instead
