Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WRT600N Linksys Ultra RangePlus Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link
Digital camera Review: Excellent product - some units are defective
Summary: 4 Stars
Like some of the other reviewers, I did have substantial performance problems with this unit - dropouts, extreme slow wireless speed, etc. After a lot of testing, it became clear that the 2.4ghz radio was faulty and causing most of the problems, including making the 5ghz dropouts. I returned the unit to Amazon, got a new one overnight, and the new unit has worked absolutely flawlessly both with -g and -n and both on 5 and 2.4 ghz. I suspect that they have some manufacturing quality problems with their 2.4 radio (I suspect a loose or heat sensitive connection because the fault unit got very, very hot) - so if you have trouble, swap the unit and it'll probably do you wonders.Digital camera Review: Excellent router
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent router and the software is great. It is a bit pricy but worth it.Digital camera Review: Excellent router, not so good for USB storage
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a novice at anything networking but I wanted to upgrade from my DSL companies old 2Wire DSL modem and router so I did some reserarch and then I stood at a big box electronics store for an hour trying to decide between this and a DLink gaming router. Since the clerks at this store have no desire to really help anyone I finally decided on this one because of two things, dual-band and storagelink. I will begin with the negative and one that is said on almost all the reviews for this product, the storagelink, well, it stinks. I cant figure it out and so that is not being used, thus the 4 stars instead of 5. On the other end I can tell you that everything else is above and beyond what I would want from a wireless router. I have no drops and the speed is incredible. Setup was fast with my Dell notebook, Lexmark wireless printer and my for now wired Xbox 360. I had no problems with the setup of any of these devices and I went from having signal strength for almost no tv transmissions from my notebook to my Xbox to having good enough for HD which is what I was looking for... So I recommend this very highly, just be prepared to be like everybody else, disappointed in storagelink.Digital camera Review: Fast - Setup was a breeze
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me start off by saying if you aren't a techie or a gamer, there is no reason for you to own this router. That being said, if you are then this is the one for you. I didn't even put in the "setup" disc (who needs those?) - Linksys has their familiar web-based setup which is nice. You can set up each signal to their own styles and security. I put Mixed Mode (b/g) on WEP security and Wireless-N Only on WPA2. Easy password setup. It comes with the latest firmware 1.01.35. Cloned my PC's MAC to get Comcast to work. Port forwarding for things like Xbox Live worked perfectly, just copied the port #'s from my 54G. I honestly don't see how anyone could give this a bad rating. It's expensive yeah, but it works great! Good for homes with N devices that still have some older G devices like Tivo and DS around, to get full speed from N.Digital camera Review: Fast - but awkward to set up
Summary: 3 Stars
dual networks very good but set up has not been easy (generally I can find my way around diffiecult computer issues) so the rather poor linksys network admin software may be better to avoid
