This router is easy to set up and works perfectly.  I'm not familar with computer related issues but this router is pretty simple to set up and once your up and running it gives you very little if ant problems.  I use both wired and wireless connections and they both work great, good signal strength, works great with wireless X Box 360.  Paid $99 which is a great deal for this router.

I purchased three of these (WN121T USB ) units to install throughout my house for general internet connection to the Netgear  DGN 2000 DSL Wireless N router.  I have found this combination to be very satisfactory for my rather basic needs at home environment.
Former wireless interruptions (drops) have disappeared giving way to superior online performance no matter where inside my home. There was no need for a signal booster or any secondary devices. I am able to use VOIP, and video conference from any workstation without lag or noise.
I am very pleased with the recommended combination of Wireless N router and WN121T adapters.
If you are considering the combination of the DGN 2000 and WN121T adapters, you should fully configure the router first along with your unique encryption password.  A properly configured router will allow for very simple installation to your remote units.
Installation software for the WN121T should be downloaded from the Netgear web site, even if software drivers arrive on CD along with the unit. Setup (same program)  in Windows XP,  Windows Vista 32/64 bit versions was very simple.  My wireless network printer also found the router instantly. I recommend a USB thumb drive to install the downloaded software application to each computer for initial setup.

It is just excellent and unexpensive router for a home network.

Got this router to replace my r7000 which couldn't keep up with my comcast 1G/35 speeds (I was running dd-wrt);  The R7800 was an easy setup, and the stock software almost did what I wanted. I upgraded to voxel, which was painless and router has been doing great.

I am not a computer genius so I read as many reviews as possible to help me decide what router to buy. I was going to use my new laptop on the wireless and my desktop is hard wired. I knew I needed a router with external antennas for maximum signal. The D-Link DIR-655 seemed to fit my needs. Installation took maybe 15 minutes and it has been no trouble at all. The wireless feature is awesum. I can even take my laptop out to my detached garage about 100 feet away and have enough signal to bring my Sirius satellite radio page up so I can plug it into my stereo and listen to my favorite rock channel. If you need a router that has a large signal range then I would look no further than this.

Love this new router. This is replacement for my D-Link DIR-615. It only lasted a little over a year. Had to replace.

Have several computers within our house/home office, including wired and wireless computers and Kindle HD's. This router was easy to install and interface is simple to use. Router is fast! Great range. Used in a one-story, 2200 sq ft building. Simple to connect various wireless equipment.

Been using it for approximately two months now without a hitch. Loved it so much, just bought one for a client and will install for him this week.

This is the best router I have owned.  It has an easy to use, option full web interface.  I get a strong wifi signal throughout our two-story house and outside into the yard.  It is easy to assign static IP addresses to devices. You can connect a printer or hard drive to share via USB.  It has one USB2 and one USB3.  Can even connect a USB modem to distribute via wifi.  I highly recommend.

If you get the latest version 5, then be sure to update to the latest firmware 1.00.4 (previous versions were buggy and caused slow downs). This is my second Linksys router and I am very pleased with its performance for Wireless G and wired. While some here are complaining that the new version doesn't run on Linux, this isn't an issue unless you plan to run third party firmware. The router is very good, especially at this low price point.

When an existing Linksys wireless router bit the dust I entered the dreaded 'cable modem to router to home network zone'. As a technology salesperson I can wax rhapsodic on software and hardware at work but, when home, all I really want is a simple to use, cheap device that everyone else in the house and reset when the power goes out. The Cisco-Linksys  WRT54G2 is just that; a cheap and easy to use device suitable for the average home. The wireless throw is very good (at least 250ft.) and the device is a breeze to install. Even better, it's simple for non-tech folks to use and reset when the power goes out. Kudos to Linksys for creating a router that's largely foolproof and meets the needs of 90% of home network and wireless users.

It took only about 5 minutes to disconnect my existing wireless router, and get this TRENDnet router up and running.  Setup was smooth and easy.  This dual band router has four Ethernet output ports.  Unlike the router I had been using, this bookshelf type unit does not have any external antennas to contend with, and is more space efficient.

In terms of performance, there is a slight improvement for computers connected by Ethernet cables.  For wireless, the improvement seems even more noticeable, as my laptop and tablets appear to have better connectivity, and my Roku box seems a bit more reliable.  The range of wireless coverage within my home does not seem to be as good, as the transmission signal may not be as strong.  Despite this issue, for the time being, I plan to continue using this router.

Your results may vary, but as I experienced an increase in performance, I do recommend this product.  I also appreciate its compact and unobtrusive appearance,  As it is not inexpensive, this device may not be for everyone.

A sample was provided for evaluation.

I used to own a $20 after rebate cheapo wireless router that I thought would be adequate enough for a home wireless networking. Ended up returning to a Linksys router and giving the cheap router the boot.

The cheap router I used to own had very minimal feature in the configurations menu and less security options then the Linksys WRT54G. But the biggest problem was the constant drop in connections and weak signals from time to time. I was fed up and turned to WRT54G because of its positive reviews, good past experience with wired routers and frequent firmware updates to correct any bugs.

I'm happy to say that this router was exactly what I was looking for. You won't regret it. The setup was very easy. Just follow the instructions carefully, it's all based on a CD that has everything you need to get you up and running in no time. The dual anteanna is a plus and the design is slick.

No more connection drops and strong signals even from the backyard. The WRT54G offers excellent security features and much more (and easier) configuration menu that I didn't even need a manual to setup correctly.

Even though you could get a cheap router these days, I'm happy I spent a little extra for the Linksys. The quality is significant and you'll be very happy from saving time and the headache.

I bought this to put in a family member's small house so the family could have a basic WiFi setup when they were in town.  The device comes packaged and looked new and complete with all the cables and attachments.  Cisco provides the software disk that makes the setup very easy.  Matter a fact, it was so simple to setup with their software that I really think a non-technically inclined person could do it.

The WiFi range is nothing impressive.  Its a cheap wireless router with no external antennas.  If you want big range, spend a $100 bucks for a unit with multiple external antennas.  I was able to effectively cover a small 1500 square foot single floor house with it plugged into a computer near the center of the house.  I didn't get maximum signal all through the house but it was functional signal with good speed.  I did follow the other posted recommendations and changed the one setting to keep the router from throttling the connection for any wireless devices.  I'd recommend doing the same in the advanced setup.

Good basic wireless router.  Nothing more, nothing less.

This router does excellent in a small home where only a handful of devices is being used. The bandwidth has a tendency to prioritize itself when there are too many users (more than 5) and will start to lag out or just disconnect all together. It's well built and the update interface is great.

This router has been running for about two months now without any problems. It is providing internet to two computers with ethernet cables, has a hard drive connected by the USB slot, and shares the wireless connection with an internet radio.

It was difficult to set up because I wasn't familiar with the advanced DD-WRT software and initially followed the instructions to set it up as a bridge instead of as a primary router. Eventually, I had to get someone who is familiar with routers to help me over the phone. There is also the alternative of installing the included simple software on the computer if the advanced features aren't needed but I didn't realize that at the time. It was easy for him because he was familiar with the software and he was able to just tell me what to do step-by-step.

My advice would be to use the simple software unless the advanced software features are needed. Most people who need them would probably already know how to use the DD-WRT or else would know someone who does.

There was some trouble after that getting a port to open to share files but eventually I figured it out on my own with information found using Google.

Since it was set up, it has been quite reliable. The only thing I don't like about it is the cheap construction of the antenna ears and the base. The plastic stand won't stay snapped on without glue--it will fall off when lifting the router for dusting even if it isn't bumped. The main body does have some slots where it can be mounted by two screws and that is probably what I will eventually do. The antennae ears aren't needed in my small apartment but they cover the vent holes on top when they are down. They seem to be attached like the hood ornament on a car except they are also flimsy.

Very pleased with this dsl modem/wireless & wired router.  I've only had it a day but so far it's been great.  It supports mac address filtering for wireless security, assigning static ip addresses, dynamic dns for services like dyndns.org and noip.com, wps, parental controls, port forwarding, and everything else I needed and more.  If you know the settings your dsl service requires then it is really easy to connect to the internet then you can spend some time setting many other options that are not required but really allow you to customize the modem/router to your needs.  I was replacing a linksys wireless router and a actiontec dsl modem and this one item does the job better than the other 2 devices were and you definitely can't beat the price.  I've installed many modems and routers and there are more settings that can be configured on this device than any other I've seen but in my opinion it's a good thing and if you don't know what you're doing you don't need to change any of the advanced settings to get it to work.  It has many more capabilities than the specs list on amazon and I read the manual available from the zoomtel website before ordering to make sure it would do everything I needed and it definitely takes care of my needs.

I've used a Linksys and Netgear Wireless routers and the D-Link DIR-625 has been by far the best to install and connect to.  I've connected all of my devices (Xbox 360, HP 2700 printer, and my work laptop) wireless without a hitch.  I'm using Time Warner Roadrunner cable service.  The Network Magic software was easy to use.  I get full connection bars with my xbox 360 and my family room downstairs used to be a dead spot but with the DLink wireless router I get an EXCELLENT connection!

I've used Linksys and DLink wireless routers for years.  I wanted easy remote access to network cameras at my home and this did that trick.  It also has better VOIP forwarding performance and has turned out to be more reliable than either of the popular brands listed above.  A great product that I'll use in the future with or without cameras.
