Does this router support iPad Air? It just arrived and so far all does is log into a guest network...even then it gets kicked off after a few min?

I use the CD to set up the Cisco Linksys E2500 and it has worked flawlessly with my iPad with Retina display, two iPhones with the latest IOS, a pc with Vista, and a pc with Windows 8.I used the CD to set up another Cisco Linksys E2500 for my wife's sister and it worked fine except the Ethernet cable that came with it was bad. I used another one and everything worked fine. I have not tried and iPad Air with it, but uses the same IOS as the iPad Retina, so I can't imagine why it wouldn't.

Hi Vespasian - I did have issues but what I found is that you have to be REALLY REALLY REALLY patient. I'm running the latest firmware (V2.0.5?) and for the longest time unplugged the device as I felt it degrgated my network performance and introduce other issues (i.e. I had issues connecting to the router that it the Sabrent was connected to). Today I decided to give it another shot. I ran SpeakEasy speed test (10x) on both routers that I have, the plugged in the Sabrent to the router (U-verse so it's the one "DSL modem" as well). The Sabrent showed it was connected to the router & I could access the internet on my laptop when connected to the Sabrent, working as a host. I then attempted to connect my laptop directly to the router which the Sabrent was connected and I couldn't - but I could when connected to the other router. I was ready to downgrade to V2.0.1 but on the time it took me to download and switch things around the issue magically resolved itself. YMMV but for the last few hours I have been able to access the internet on both routers (w/o going through the Sabrent) as well as stream music to multiple devices. There is still an issue with lag between my Airplay devices (laptop and jailbreaked iPhone 3GS running AirFloat which turns that into a receiver). Just be patient - my experience is that this isn't the fastest devices but in time my issues were resolved. Good luck.

I havent used it since i bought. But my brother has one and it works even for your iphone. Easy and cheap wifi , compare to traditional router. Good luck.

I am not a tech person BUT our iPad 4s worked off from the wi fi I had for my computers. Just be sure you have your password.

ACTUALLY this WILL NOT work with the new OS X 10.9 and above updates. the router uses a Home Connect program by Cisco (one that I loved) but now I have no access to since updating my computer. There are no patches and no fixes, it simply will not work and I cannot turn on/off the guest function nor change any passwords to my network. DO NOT BUY with mac 10.9 and above

I have an AIR (R3) and R1. The AIR is fine in terms of wireless and the newest update with the additional features. The R1, since it wants to be hardwired to a network, is what I was hoping to make wireless. That's why I'll probably use a bridge.

I'm considering a new router due to wifi connectivity problems with the new iPad2's my wife & I bought. I've always had good luck with Linksys products and I'm leaning in that direction again. Does anyone who has an iPad2 have any connectivity issues with the Linksys e4200 (dropping wifi, etc)?

No, they are not. This is a sore spot with me. I worked with tech support a long time and they finally told me it's NOT supported in AP mode, only router mode. I ended up hanging an old AP off the DMZ of my firewall port for guest access and use the AC66U as my main AP for the wireless devices in the home. Other than that, the device seems decent enough. I have a USB hard drive hanging off it to share DLNA stuff, but also do this via GoogleTV box too. Lots of options these days.

It drops all the time. I've had this router for a while and it's biggest mistake I ever made. Drops iOS devices like a bad habit and have to reboot router constantly.

It is yes, I have an Air as well. I just followed the bluetooth set up and it started up for me.

I am sorry but I don't have an apple router. So I am unable to speak on that. I do have a NetGear router that it connected automatically with. I set it up as an access point and it works great. Since I have a kind of long house and the router is at one end. This has greatly extended our wireless signal in our home. A access point is the best way to go, since it connects to our router by a Cat 6 internet cable so you don't lose part of your bandwidth when you set it up as a WiFi range extender.

The second two answers are both correct, and so was the first poster: set up the router with an iPhone/iPad/ or other ios device first. BUT THEN, you should definitely go get the utility also! When you do, on the first opening, it will appear "up to date," but shut it down, then reopen it. The utility will automatically update the router firmware and get you the newest utility for Windows. And BTW, I run Win 7, not 8, and the Apple Support Web site does not list Win 8 as being supported, so it may not work with 8.

I have my air since dec 2012 and there was a couple of times it didn't automatically connect to my wifi. I just turned wifi on and off and then it connected. Haven't had any wifi issues lately.

I had same problem with Netgear routers. Apple and Android get dropped disconnected frequently and after experience found that the Channels should be set to auto. If you change channel it may or may not work, so you have to really see if Auto or changing channels work for you. After I set my channel to auto I am enjoying my router.

I don't know; however, i owned this router for approximately 1 1/2 years. It worked great until one year, then, i had to reboot it constantly. Tech support was also not much help. I finally bought a new router. Apple Airport Extreme. No problems since. Obviously i don't recommend this router.

NO, it does not work with iPad Air. I tried with an 30-pin to lightning adaptor, and didn't work... =/

Requires a USB port to attach, so no it's not compatible with the iPad Air. Maybe the WD Wireless might work. Also, look at: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5894149
