This is the worst ever router I have tested. I've had cheaper ones doing a better job. The N connection is a waste of time, effort and health!! It disconnects constantly, it has the worst wireless range, and I can keep saying only bad things about this worthless product! It really desappointed me awfully.

This Linksys WRT610N 2-channel wirelessly router works easily and smoothly with my Apple MacBook Air notebook computer with Mac OS X 10.5.5 at 5 GHz band of encryption methods of either WPA2-Personal TKIP or AES. In contrast, it did not work reliably at 2.4 GHz band with internal 54G wireless cards in my Dell Latitude D810 notebook PC and Brother MFC-8870DW wireless printer until two changes: 1) The encryption method has to be AES; TKIP did not work for me. This issue has been reported in many internet discussions. 2) I needed to call Linksys' technical support to modify some values in the 2.4 GHz band's Advanced Wireless settings to made successful and somewhat stable wireless connection. The 2.4 GHz band still does not provide a stable signal strength, which fluctuates from 1 to 48 GHz.
The 2.4 GHz band can work, but Linksys may need to work on it. This is my personal and a casual wireless networking individual's observation.

We bought this router to improve our wireless range at home. We went from an WRT5G to this. This router setup easliy with the linksys software. Once the first PC was added to the network I uninstalled the lela software. From there all is well. The dual bands are very nice. I have 2 PC's on the 5ghz band with one wireless gaming adapter. When I check my connection speed at any given time I am getting 270mbps. The 2.4 band is open to friends and family PC's when they come over. If they are 'G" only it doesn't slow down my "N" network at all. This is a very nice poduct and it's nice looking also.

Linksys and all other router manufacturers advertises the greatness of the wireless 5ghz band (especially with 802.11n), but I'm beginning to have my doubts. It is true that the 5Ghz band is hardly being used so you'll have virtually no one to compete with,. However, the 5Ghz distance in no way compares to 2.4Ghz, and as a matter of fact, I find it to be quite terribe. At approximately 20 feet away, both my Linksys DMA2200 and HP notebooke barely get 1 bar using the 5Ghz N band with my WRT610N router. In comparison, while only using my 2.4Ghz WRT54g router, I get 5 full bars at that range, and at least 2 bars from anywhere else in my house.
I have all Linksys equipment in my house as I have been impressed with all of their 2.4Ghz in the past. However, I've recently upgraded everything to dual-band N equipment and found numerous flaws in each of the new devices, plus none of them really even play well together. My setup is: Linksys 610n router, DMA2200 media center extender, ... Read More

I've had this router running nonstop for about two months now, with no problems whatsoever. We have three wireless computers that can connect from anywhere in the house, and we have not experienced any dropped connections. The speed is excellent and consistent. The router's USB port allows us to connect a hard drive which can be accessed by any computer on our network--a very handy feature.
I noticed some of the reviewers of this product complained about the router overheating or running hot, so I purchased an iron grate from Target (the type used for placing under hot cooking pots and pans to protect countertops and tabletops) and set the router on top of this. I don't know if it was necessary or not--but since we haven't had any problems, the $7.99 I spent on the grate seems a reasonable insurance policy.
