Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N Broadband Router
Customer Review: Details, Details, Details!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love and hate Amazon reviews of tech products! The Devil is in the details and no one ever explores them hence bad reviews for good products, just like this one!
The Linksys WRT160n (Ver 2) replaces my old Linksys WRT54G ( I wrote a review in 2004 when it was new) that I sold to a friend along with an old Motorola G wireless bridge.
This new router is a lot faster (120 MB) with a Linksys WGA600N Bridge (game adapter as its marketed) conected to my Xbox 360. And its wireless G performance with my dell laptop is also increased. Im 45 ft from the router on my G laptop (with a 12 inch thick concrete rebar wall in between) but the throughput on my new WRT160N is almost double that of my old WRT54G.
My ISP is Caviler DSL. There performance is spotty at peak times but I usually get connection rates from 6-10 Mbps (download). Off peak hours I can stream available HD movies over Nexflix on my Xbox 360, transfer a 5 GB file from my PC to laptop while watching a different movie on netflix, look at a movie on youtube on my Iphone connected by Wifi, and play a game of chess over the net on my PSP all without any major hiccups anywhere!. Thats impressive. I'd never had been able to do tht with my old wireless router.
I paid $17 for the router and $90 for the bridge and they were both a great investment. I have sev other routers in my apt complx on channels 11 and 6 and my router automatically set up my network on channel 1. Its both fast and secure with WPA2 and took me all of 40 mins to set up including the router, bridge and 360. My gateway computer is a dell Dimension 8300 1.3 GB RAM, Win XP home, My laptop a Dell 1535 W/3 gb ram on Vista Home.
I don't work in the IT dept at work by I'm familiar with Linksys web based setup utility. I tried setting up the router a second time using just that and found it pretty simple.
Details matter. If someone writes a review and wants to be helpful and maybe get some help from the nice community here. Throw some details in, it will be appricated by all.
******Update
Just to let you all know, this router that I loved, died a month ago! For what ever reason, it decided it would no longer accept IP addresses. I made 4 calls to Linksys customer service, lasting an hr per call, before they decided the unit was defective. I sent the bad unit back and got a refurbished one about a week ago. Its working fine but I'm leary. I no longer trust the router. the replacement unit worked on the first attempt. I didnt install lela this time (to save the cpu cycles as it always runs in the background. I will update in a few weeks to let you know how its going. Also posted a video on youtube. Good router but approach with caution.
