Digital camera reviews of Linksys WRT150N Wireless N Home Router with 4-Port Switch Mimo
Digital camera Review: Doesn't work with Macs
Summary: 2 Stars
As one other review pointed out, this router is problematic with macs. The range isn't that good with any of the computers in our house 3 macs 2 pcs. If you have a mac in your home network, do not buy this router.Digital camera Review: Don't Waste Your Money
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this router thinking that it would give the extended range over the Linksys WRT54G I had been using. I had thoughts of using the old router as a access point. I installed the software, plugged in the router, and everything was fine, initially. I noticed a couple of disconnects from the Internet, but thought nothing of it. Until the second day. I lost Internet connectivity three times. Each time, I was able to get it back by unplugging the cable modem and the router, then plugging them back in in sequence. Oddly, a couple of times my laptop still had connectivity wirelessly, but my wired desktop, the main computer, didn't.
Finally, the last time, I lost connectivity and was not able to get it back. I plugged back in the WRT54G, and everything has been fine. In fact, I am now using my Apple Airport Express as a range extender access point. I am sending back the N router.
I gave up on tech support. They were sure it was a problem with the cable modem. How strangely coincidental that my cable modem, which hasn't failed me in four years, suddenly started acting strangely with the installation of a new Linksys router.

I bought this to replace a 5 years-old Netgear B wireless router... But it is definitively not worth it's price.
These are the major problems I found:
- Wireless connection drops randomly, and most of the times I'm required to reboot the router in order to re-establish it.
- It sometimes just "freezes" forever - nothing works until rebooted, not even the wired connection.
Searching a bit on internet I found that I'm not the only one with those problems, and that there is no fix/workaround for them.
Digital camera Review: Dropped connections on wireless
Summary: 2 Stars
We've had this unit for several months. The wireless part works OK most of the time, but on an almost daily basis it drops the connection to the laptop. The router has essentially disappeared as it no longer shows up as an available wireless network. We are forced to unplug the power on the router to recycle it and things connect up again.
Very annoying.
Digital camera Review: Drops wireless connections quite often
Summary: 1 Stars
I am replacing this piece of junk. Very easy to set up, and the wired connections work great. BUT, the router has to be reset on average once per couple of days (power off for 30 seconds power back on), to restore the wireless connection.
Tech support was of no help even though the forum has pages of people complaining about this problem.
