Advantages Good routing speed, many options, hardly crashes!
Disadvantages Build quality not as good as some other routers out there
Well I'll give it another go (for the third time). I initaily bought this exact router 2 years ago when it was really expensive, but knowing little knowledge of broadband I got lazy and sold it on. The second time I bought one just last year which was a Netgear one which I got working just about, before it started crashing every 10 minutes (that and the NTL box). So third time round I did a little research into the best routing options and was back to Linksys :).
Now with the version 3 of this router out and not the version 2, I'd heard some good comments on this routers stableness, so decided to go for it once more. Third time it was a hit! I plugged it in and hooked up all my pcs to it, did all the nescessary details and reset everything, and it worked like a dream!There are many options you can choose from including port forwarding, allowing users to open ports for games or applications, to an interesting one which pleased me called DMZ :).
This allows one computer to have all ports opened (thinking dad in mind as he uses lots of p2p apps) it is verry usefull in this situation.
Would strongly recommend this to any cable or dsl user who are thinking of setting up there own network.
