Great N WAP with VLAN support at a very good price
587243
I purchased this unit 6 months ago for my home network. I am using it with a Cisco 26XX router to provide routing between several VLANs, each on its on SSID. It has worked very well, and unlike several of the cheaper units, I have not had it freeze up, not even once.
I did not have any significant difficulty configuring it, though because of the complexity of my set up, my expectations were fairly low.

Replaced a Linksys WRT350N with this unit, and so far no regrets...

Setup was fairly simple, although I'm not a fan of the Cisco/Linksys setup program that hides many of the advanced setup options from you. Would have been nice if they read the existing configuration off my Linksys device, and then carried all of the settings forward to the new one, but alas, they didn't think of that.

Instead, I plugged the router into my PC directly (having no other network connections present) and let the setup program configure all the defaults. Once that was done, I went into advanced setup by pointing my browser to the WRT610N, and manually changed what I wanted. Sounds involved, but it's really no different than anything else out there.

I was happy to see that the router worked flawlessly with the DDNS service from DynDNS.

The wired gigabit connection seems a bit faster than my previous router. The network speed test site I use consistently reports 8-10% higher speeds on the new configuration, and local file transfers between two computers on the router also seems about 10% faster.

On the wireless side, I'm getting a consistent 93 megabits on my 802.11N clients, up from 80 megabits on the WRT350N. Range of my 802.11N devices also seems somewhat better.

The 802.11N implementation seems to work with all of the devices I have, including a few Apple computers. Earlier 802.11N products have struggled with the Macs, but this one seems fine.

I use the storage link function with an inexpensive USB hard drive to host an FTP site on the Internet. Although poorly documented, there's a built-in FTP server in the WRT610N, and if you point the FTP port to the router, you get an instant FTP site that references whatever content you expose through the USB port. In conjunction with the DDNS service I use, this gives me a quick and simple way to access some of my data across the Internet.

One missing feature I'd love to see is the ability to run dual networks in parallel (that is, two SSIDs). Most of my computers are WPA2 capable, but I have a few older devices (printers) that only work on open networks. At the moment, this means I need two wireless access points - one for the 802.11N devices with WPA2 and one for the older devices. Would be nice if Cisco could give me a way to service both in one package.

The Cisco/Linksys "EasyLink Advisor" network management software is cute, but unfortunately very limited. If you're like me and have multiple networks and a broad mix of wired and wireless devices, you can do better.

A powerful, full-featured, easy to configure firewall, DHCP server, etc. for a great price.

This is not a high end device, but works just as well as some of the more expensive ones. It works reliably and has extremely low power usage. All of the usual features are present (MAC filtering, port forwarding, etc.) Has modern security features including WPA2. The best feature is the option to control the signal strength, which is useful if you don't intend on using devices from a long distance.

I have been working with these in a business (8 devices - UAP, UAP-LR, and UAP-AC-LR versions) and church (2 AC-LR's) environment for some time now, and they have been great.  I finally broke down and bought one for home use as well.  The quirks of my old consumer-grade router are no more!  I had been using it only as an access point (please note that you still need a router to use with this wireless access point).  I have it set up with my router to do VLAN's and provide segregated guest wireless access, which is a great feature.

For the price, I think you would be hard pressed to find a better alternative!

Strong signal, easy software. It will be amazing if SSH and OpenWRT access are supported in the upcoming firmare upgrades.

Just purchased this at Best Buy, with price match to Amazon.

This has several wonderful features. The ability (it's not this way out of the box) to configure for a single wifi network for the dual bands I really like so far.

I was pleasantly surprised that week call quality with my Ooma phone was completely resolved with this new modem. I had convinced myself it was Comcast, but it wasn't. It was my previous modem/router (Zoom 5363, which is also a high-end and AC dual band combo modem router). Ooma calls are now crystal clear!

The other cool feature is including MoCA. By including MoCA, it saves a lot of messy wiring and eliminates a splitter.

It also has a regular plug, without a bulky transformer/plug.

My only disappointments are :

The MoCA is the older 1.1 standard and not 2.0. It does work great.

The unit is fairly large, but still saves space and wire mess of separate modem, router and MoCA "master".

I went to purchase another product and one of the product reviews from another IT guy recommended this one instead. What a great call!! This is a dynamic product with easy to configure interface. It is well built and EnGenius thought of all the things that an outdoor AP needs to have built into it. I really like the multi-functional WAP so that you can have several SSID's at once and also  GUEST SSID. I feel that this device knocks the crap out of Cisco for the price. So far I have installed 7 of them at a car dealership I do work for and they are running flawlessly and getting all corners of the lot.

Works great and love being able to setup multiple vlans on it.

I purchased this wireless router to replace a Linksys Wireless Access Point G WAP540 that died after two years of service. The new WRT54GL router was straight-forward to install. I purchased this model instead of another Linksys WAP540 as it was 1/3 the price. We set it up downstream of a Linksys wired Cable/DSL 4-port router that has been going strong for six years. After installation, the new Linksys wireless router gives us three bars of signal strength in our family room where the WAP540 gave us only one bar.  In addition, the WRT54G gives us four additional wired port if we need them.

This is one great product. You pop in the CD, connect the WGA600N to your computer via the supplied ethernet cable and run a wizard to do the configuration. I was up and running in five minutes. Supports WPA2-AES and 802.11n standards. I get great connection speeds, and the built-in web configuration tool is easy to use.

The only issue I had was trying to access the built-in web page after I ran the wizard. I could not find what IP address the bridge was assigned. The manual was great in this respect and I followed the directions to do a manual reset. Gave my computer a static IP, and then was able to access the web page. After I tweaked the settings, I then returned my computer to DHCP mode.

Highly recommend this. No connection issues with my D-Link Dir-655 router.

I just purchased this access point instead of the WAP300N because of the problems I had with that access point.  Although since I set it to N only it has been flawless and runs at maximum speed of 50+ mbs.  This device rarely goes over 25MBS but has the exact same settings as the other device.  This is still much faster than the WAP54g access points that have been in use for years. I won't return it because it does work and so far has not killed my network.  Just once I would like to buy something from Linksys and have it work as described out of the box.  Come to think of it this did happen  a long time ago when I bought the WAP54G access points.  Why have things changed?  Cisco mabey?  Seems to work but needs to be faster.  going to put this in place of the 300 to make sure it is not the location that is causing the issue.

As a network engineer and architect of almost 20 years, I tend to be pretty critical of network hardware. I have high expectations and like things to be feature rich and easy to use, not a common combination. A friend and colleague suggested this device for me. I have some experience consulting for wireless service providers that utilize this hardware, so I wasn't totally unfamiliar with the company. Overall, this device has absolutely great features for the price. I replaced a 3 year old 802.11N access point with this since all of my stuff was able to do AC. The mobile app is great, the controller software works well and is easy to set up (mine runs within a linux container). The analytics the controller provides are very good (although most folks probably won't even need them). The coverage is very good in my home, it covers the basement, the main floor and the 2nd floor. It also has pretty good coverage well out into my yard, both front and back. I had originally thought about buying a second one for the second floor, but I don't need it.

Additional thoughts and details:
Typical consumers may find the need of an app or controller to configure and change this a little but too much, but remotely technical folks will likely be *very* happy.
This is *not* a router. It's a wireless access point. All it does is act as a bridge from wireless to a wired network (an oversimplification, it does a lot of great stuff like vlan tagging, etc.).
I'd recommend it for sure.

I plugged it in to a Linux box (Kubuntu 14.04) and it automatically became ready for network access. Very good signal strength compared to previous low cost brand. In short, I'm super satisfied!

This is awesome. Right out of the box, I joined it to my Unifi console and upgraded the firmware. Once that was done, I logged into the console and changed the Lan2 to Wan2 for Dual Wan fail-over with no problem. I changed the subnet of the router and setup a site-to-site VPN to an older Cisco RV042G router with no issues. I did lose connection once and had to reboot the router, but that was not a problem with how easy the setup went.  Tested fail-over with success. The router takes 3 minutes to reboot.

This is a business class access point for business and SOHO. I would say that a home user could use this, but this is clearly targeted toward business use and offers speeds of 300Mbps and supports wireless protocols through 802.11n. This is a ceiling mount and it looks like  smoke detector. You can put it most anywhere, but it can be ceiling mounted, something many business prefer.

The feature set is robust; PoE, advanced security including WPA, WPA2, 802.1X with RADIUS, 802.1X supplicant, SSID to VLAN mapping, MAC-based access control, IPv6 support and an Gigabit Ethernet port. The security options are thorough, also offering rogue access point detection, so the access point can shut out devices that haven't been explicitly authorized for use on an SMB network. Note: PoE will need a separate injector to operate.

Set up is fast and easy, however note that I'm familiar with routers. Still, it wasn't difficult. The signal strength is better than the access point this replaced and notably strongest on 802.11n.

At this writing, the cost is $85, which for the features, build and performance are a great value, so I'm giving this top marks.

This is an excellent AP. Provides strong, stable wifi signal. Can connect with multiple devices at once. Haven't maxed it out yet. I would highly suggest this AP. The price is right. Definitely an upgrade from earlier APs. I liked the first one so much, I bought a second one for our office.
