This Linksys WRT160N Work Great and Fast easy to Set Up, I Recommend anybody to Buy this Router Wireless-N. from Amazon.com The router is working well after some extensive setup difficulites to reset the unit. The router did not function until spending a couple hours on line with a Linksys technical represetative. Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router from Amazon.com This linksys Router has a nice look, The WRT160N is not just good in apperience is better in performance, I recomment this item for house and office. from Amazon.com I just tried to replace my old Linksys Wireless B router and remote antenna (which were working well) with the WRT160N and a Dual-Band Wireless-N USB network adapter for Windows XP and 2000 systems. After 3 hours on the phone with 3 different Linksys support people, I still cannot access the Internet via the Wireless-N USB network adapter. from Amazon.com I just moved to a bigger apartment and my present router, a linksys WRT54GX4 with SRX 400 was not enough to provide full coverage. I decided to install a 2nd wireless network and since the WRT54GX4 is not available anymore, I decided to buy the WRT160N. from Amazon.com I purchased theLinksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router and received it within 10 days. The setup was extremely easy and the accompanying CD made it so. from Amazon.com Pros: easy to install, default settings more or less correct Cons: apparent poor firmware causes frequent connection problems, haphazard performance. poor support from Linksys/Cisco (firmware obliviously needs updated) Other Thoughts: it seems unusual that the WRT 160N v2 performs so much differently that the WRT 160N v1, which was known to be a good performer from Newegg.com The Linksys WRT160N router has consistent performance, good price, a helpful software application, and a very nice set of networking features. Its lack of a USB support, is my only major concern against it. from Amazon.com I recently purchased the Linksys WRT160N to upgrade from my old router which only supported 802.11g. I have a personal laptop that is a MacBook, a work laptop that is an HP EliteBook, and a networked LG Blu-Ray player on my home network. from Amazon.com Pros: I install 2-3 wireless routers per month for my customers. I generally prefer Linksys because of the reliability and ease of obtaining warranty replacements. from Newegg.com

Description

The Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The incredible speed of Wireless-N makes it ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and Voice over IP telephony, and gives you plenty of headroom to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in performance. With the Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games, and run media-intensive applications at incredible speeds, without the hassle of stringing wires.
