Linksys's Lightning fast wireless router

Advantages: Fast speeds, Reliable, Stylish
Disadvantages: I had wireless problems, Gets a bit warm, no restart router option in config

...The Linksys WAG160N N300 is an ADSL2+ wireless modem router, meaning it has a a modem built in. It is for use with BT Internet connections rather than for use with a Cable broadband connection (i.e. Virgin) although a Cable version is also available. It?s an ADSL2 router, which means it supports the newer ADSL standard, which could mean faster transfer speeds although this really depends on your line quality, distance from Exchange, service with ISP, etc. The router currently costs £74.99 from PC World but a bit less at £59.99 on their website. I bought mine about 8 months ago on Ebuyer for around £55. IN THE BOX You receive two ADSL filter s, RJ11 cable, user manual, manual and software CD, power adapter and lastly, the router itself. THE ROUTER ITSELF One thing I quite like about the router is that it looks quite...

Linksys Router

Advantages: Can hook up a few computers to it,can have a password
Disadvantages: slow transfer of big files between computers

...The last review was very good but I thought I would give one more about the product itself. After purchasing a laptop it became apparent that I wouldnt want to run a cable from my broadband box to my laptop in order to use the internet especially when this is already plugged into my PC. The next logical step? By a wireless router and i'm assuming that if your are reading this then you will either be in this position or just cant be bothered with having cables all around your house anymore. As the title says this is a Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless Access Point Router with 4-Port Switch. Fore this router to work you need to make sure that your broadband has an ETHERNET port otherwise you will need to find another router as you plug your broadband into this router via an ethernet cable in order for it to be able to send out the signal...

Linksys Wireless Router - Is it Reliable??

Advantages: Reliable, well priced and gives you freedom to move around the house!
Disadvantages: Settings dont always refresh after a power cut.

...I can honestly say that YES it is fairly reliable and has done me good over the last few years with little to no problems. Its easy to setup although a bit more technical wisdom may be needed to setup the security. I set mine up with a 28 bit WEP key. Always make sure you change your default password and username otherwise it could easily be hacked. My Internet provider has always been NTL / Virgin media and I was recomended by them that this router is highly compatible with their broadband services. Being an avid gamer and PC user it was a necessity for me to get wireless access especialy as my mum and sister use the Internet. It was a good solution for us that would allow us all to connect where ever we were around the house. I never seem to have any slowness issues when using the wireless even when other people are connected...
