Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WRT600N Linksys Ultra RangePlus Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link
Digital camera Review: Fast and works with Apple
Summary: 5 Stars
We have two Macbook Pros and one Dell. Used the Dell to set up the router and then was able to access with the Macbook Pros. Works well and very fast. At first, there were a lot of drops, but now there are none. I am not sure why, but it almost seems like the the Linksys got to know the Macbooks and they hit it off. Go figure.
Highly recommended, even with Apples.
Digital camera Review: G Band Killer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using Linksys (Now Cisco) products since the begining. My older G band was well beyound its life cycle. This router ROCKS, I get 6.0 MPS speed on my N band capable laptop, and am sustaining more connections. Haven't seen the range increase promissed, but it is more than adequate for my 1/3rd acre yard. I have recommended this router to my friends and co-workersDigital camera Review: Garbage Time. Go for 610n or D-Link If you need it
Summary: 1 Stars
I've gone through two of them. The first one had the dreaded "setup timeout" problem which numerous other people have reported on the Linksys forums where neither IE or FF will allow you to login and go through the setup without significant timeouts. Next one I had wouldn't connect via the wireless, even with an hour and change worth of time with Linksys. They finally offered to ship me one directly from their warehouse. Told them forget it. This has now been replaced with the 610N model (after just a few months) which has more RAM. If you're worried about the lack of antennas on the 610N don't be - you weren't getting much from the NONREPLACEABLE antennas on the 600N. What junk and "style over substance" that Linksys is going with now. I even looked at D-Link but their dual N gigabit router is going for a lot more money for now, if you can find it. But it DOES have 3 replaceable antennas. If you need/want dual radios, the 610N is the cheapest route to go at present. But don't buy this dud. It's got a limited lifespan for support too.Digital camera Review: Good router but may be too many features to be useful
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased because needed extended range to reach a computer in my basement (3 floors down from my router) and I wanted to get a gigabit router. I also liked the storage link function. Overall, the router performs great. I don't get the blazing speeds in the basement, but I do get connection where my old G router did not quite make it there. I also believe that moving my router may also increase performance. Setup was very easy moving from one linksys router to another, however I would say that the wizard doesn't do everything it should...
I also like the interface (with the exception of storage link noted below) and it is VERY easy to set up. I use a VoIP phone and it was simple to set up the phone for QoS and that has worked flawlessly. (Another big reason for purchasing the phone.) You can set QoS by MAC address, IP address, ports, etc. Very few people use this function and you definitely should.
I'm disappointed with the storage link. I'm familiar with technology and disk management and I have yet to figure out the Storage Link interface. There is NO documentation with the unit, and very little on this feature online. I know that if I spend some time with it, I will be able to find instructions, but a SimpleShare device I purchased a few years ago didn't require reading manuals (yuck!).
I am also disappointed that, at the time of purchase, only notebook cards were supported with the dual radios. I don't know if this would have increased my range (don't think so) so for now, I think I would purchase the less expensive non UltraRange version of this with only the one radio.
Digital camera Review: Good, buy the newer version
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this while I was oversees. Now that I'm back I hooked it up and am completely satisfied. Being a computer guy I can tell you that this is a good piece of gear. If you know what you're doing you can set it up to limit which networks can be accessed by each of your computers.
I had to update the firmware before it would work with my 1Tb harddrive.
