Product is functioning wonderfully. It's what we needed for our system and was not available at local stores. Thanks Amazon.
This router works good if all you want is an Internet connection for casual surfing. Shortly after I open a port for forwarding traffic, the router locks up and I have to reset it. This is a low end router. The price for this average router should be from $50 to $70.
Not sure if it is sure but that's what the email said.But I am not so excited about getting the WRT600N either. My son also complained about me paying so much for this piece of crap when comparing to the SMC router that I owned for more than 4 years.Every now and then I had to reset this router ever after upgrading to the latest firmware. I did not get a better reception than the 4 years old SMC router. Based on the review from other people, the WRT600N does not seem to be any better. After several months, it finally died and I couldn't get it up anymore, i.e. never able to get to the http admin home page.Luckily, it has 3 years warranty, instead of getting a refurbished one of the same model, Linksys is sending me a refurbished WRT600N which suppose to me more expensive than the WRT350N. Linksys has been selling good quality products but I am disappointed about the WRT350N. In this case, I do not recommend it to anyone.
This router has less range than my old Netgear Wireless-G router. Very dissapointing. Also, the setup wizard on the supplied CD didn't work with Windows XP, and I had to manually configure the router. Other than that, all router functions seem to work well, and the user interface is very good.
I installed this to use with my Desktop (XP) and a Laptop (Vista), the Desktop wired, the Laptop wireless. The Laptop came with a wireless card so only needed a menu setup and it was working, at least I could connect to the internet. The wiring of the Desktop was easy, I installed the software, followed directions and startup went perfect (did need to call my ISP for one piece of info). The Desktop worked flawlessly. When I tried to set up file and printer sharing with my Desktop (the printer is connected directly to the desktop) I found the lack of any explicit instructions related to this was a problem for me. Several days of internet research finally resolved it and now all works perfect.
