Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch
Digital camera Review: As Good As Advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical at all the reviews of how easy this router is to set-up and use. Well it is true. My two computers were set up in minutes and it could not have been easier. I'm very impressed with this product.Digital camera Review: As good as "they" say...
Summary: 5 Stars
`For most internet service providers, all you have to do is plug it between your cable or DSL modem and your PC and its ready.
`
I currently have only one machine using a cable modem connection and chose this router as a hardware firewall - with a view to future networking. My service provider, however, is a bit more protective about potential sharing of a connection than most. Even so, one phone call to a very helpful member of Linksys tech support had the system running perfectly.
`
Can't ask better of the router or the company. I recommend this product specifically and Linksys generally.

It seems like there is a big difference in reaction when it comes to this router. Either people love it because it was a breeze to get it up and running or people hated it because it simply didnt work. Reading all the reviews i found that there were more satisfied buyers then unsatisfied ones. I was also convinced by many of my firends who have said that linksys products have excellent support and that this particular router was the best around.Unfortunately when i first set up this router it wouldnt connect to my ISP. Afer about an hour of fruitless attempts, i gave up. Since our DSL modem had multiple ports, All of my home PC's could access the internet however not simultaneously. So for about 3 months the router sat quitely on my desk collecting dust. Then one day after a friend suggested to update the firmware of the router i decided to give it another shot. In between that time i refreshed my system and did a complete install of XP. Whether it was a function of the new firmware for the router i downloaded from linksys or windows XP i had the router up and running in minutes. I have two XP systems and one 98se system on our home LAN and they all share the internet seamlessly. Even Gaming was noticably faster.
I highly recommend this router. Its easy to set up and linksys is known for great support. You really can't go wrong.
Digital camera Review: Avoid tech support hell, do NOT buy this!!

I recently bought this product, tried to install using installation CD, which locked up on the 9th step. Called tech support, was told the product, which was bought that day, was no longer under warranty as Lynksys bases warranty on production date, not date of purchase,(i'm not making this up!) so warranty expired while on Staples shelf. "Manilla Mary" told they would believe me this one time and give me a one time complimentary tech support session. Declined and went and exchanged for another of the same model, which had 9 months remaining on the one year warranty, spent 9 (yes, 9, i'm not joking) hours with "Rangoon Randy" "Phillipine Phil" etc over three nights only to find they are clueless on setting this up. I still don't have a functioning router and don't know what the answer is but Lynksys most DEFINITLY isn't it.
