Summary: THat's a good one.
Review: I've got this router for my home LAN and it's working pretty well with DSL modem. Just plugged it in and it started working. I also use some port mapping to run FTP server and some stuff for my work. I was able to do it in a very simple way using their web interface control.
The only think which is happening sometimes: when you have a new computer connected to your LAN _sometimes_ you have to reset router to make it work.
But it's definitely a good one ! It thought of having a Linux box for making NAT etc, but then I decided that this small router is just safer to keep runnng 24/7 if you have it at home.

Summary: Surprisingly Easy Setup
Review: I followed the simple instructions in the user's guide, and was up and running in no time at all. Setup was much easier than I anticipated. I can't tell you if Linksys has good customer support because I've had no need to call them. The product works as advertised.

Summary: A great choice for the home / small office user
Review: I bought two of these for two small business locations and I am very happy with them. If you are a newbie to networking or someone who is fairly astute you will also find these quite useful and easy.For the novice home user, this is "Plug and Play" applied to home networking. You simply hook the router to your DSL modem, plug in four computers, set your computers' network settings to automatically assign IP information and you are good to go! All four of your computers are on the internet. One would usually expect something this easy to be rather simple and featureless. This isn't the case. You can connect via webbrowser to the device's management webpage and configure DHCP settings, allow or deny certain ports, deny or allow access by MAC address and many other more advanced features. (you might want to look at the product description the company puts out) For the price they ask, it surprises me how much you get for your money. Also, when they say 4 ports, it IS 4 ports. Not 4 ports where you have to give up one of them to the uplink, and only get three computers. One small drawback I noted with this is it lacks eyelets to mount the device to a wall and the design is such that I suppose it was only expected to remain on a desktop or floor. Certainly you can find more advanced routing / networking features than this, but because you get so much functionality for the buck it's a good buy. D

Summary: A great looking, well built router/switch!
Review: I must admit, I bought this router for looks as well as functionally. It's a very handsome piece of equipment. The lights on the front have proven very useful, plus makes for a nice light show! No other routers have as many lights as this baby has! I think I would have preferred a flat top so I could more easily stack other things on top of it, but I'm being anal. Setup for me was painless after upgrading to the latest firmware. The routers sold now already have the newest firmware, so others will probably not have to worry about this. I've owned this router for almost a year now and it's worked pretty flawlessly. It seems every 4 months or so we have to reset the router and the DSL modem, but it could just be our ISP. The router is on 24/7 and is barely even warm. My connection is static IP, so I haven't used the PPPoE/Dynamic IP function, but I've heard it works very well. The only option I'd like to have on this, and all other routers is a way of assigning more than one computer to be the DMZ (no firewall), which makes life easier for online gaming. If not that, having the option of making all computers DMZ would be nice. Using a software solution for a firewall is better than locking all computers but one behind a hardware firewall. You won't be disappointed with this one!

Summary: WOW Ethernet
Review: When I found this product to be just what the doctor ordered for allowing clients on my LAN to access the internet through a single cable modem. The physical set-up took about five minutes and the initial software set-up took about ten minutes. Had I not needed Laplink access to one of the computers on the LAN, the default settings would have been sufficient. Changing the settings is easy, through a browser window, to which access can be limited through customizable passwords. A basic understanding of networking principals is helpful but the onscreen help answered all of my questions. I didn't need any telephone or email tech support, so I can't comment on the quality of Linksys' tech support. In full firewall mode the computers on the LAN are virtually invisable to outsiders, yet fully available to the other LAN clients (according to your Windows sharing settings). You can also allow one or more computers on the LAN to open ports to the internet by using Linksys' "DMZ" function, and the administrator can easily monitor the connections to ensure that clients are getting access. I gave up on the software solutions, such as Microsoft's Internet Connection Sharing. They were too finicky and conflicted with the cable arrangement at my office building. With the Linksys Router there is no need to configure a second ethernet card in the connected computer or set the client TCP/IP numbers, unless you want to. The Router acts as the WAN connected computer and provides the router backbone for four direct connected clients. Additional clients can be added by connecting additional switches or hubs to the router, for up to over 200 clients.I didn't do a lot of comparison testing, but I read quite a few reviews and the reviews seem to be true, the Linksys product is easy and quick and probably the best for the money. A great deal at a super price.

Summary: Networking has never been easier
Review: This unit has saved me so much time. I'm able to share my DSL service, files, printer, games etc. It is really easy to set up and it supports PPPoE. I've tested the NAT feature and have not been able to break into my network. Tech support was on the phone in less than 5 minutes. They are located in CA and are open late to support us late night east coasters. Highly recommend this product.

Summary: If you have a CableModem or DSL, get this!
Review: I am a systems architect for web based companies. We use the big-boy products like Cisco PIX firewalls at a cost of $15000 per network segement we are protecting. The level of protection and functionality you get out of this device is amazing at the price. I have also used the comparable NetGear router and found it to be pretty much equivalent. I have also built similar firewalls using Linux and an old PC - a process that usually takes a day or two of your free time (if you know what you're doing). The $... or so that these devices cost is cheap for two days of my personal time.

Summary: Your own home network in seconds!
Review: We have two PCs in our home, and wanted to share our cable modem and printers. Although I'm pretty much illiterate about networking, I had this device setup and running in about 30 minutes. Linksys even includes instructional videos on CD that make setup pretty much idiot-proof. After reading other reviews, I was worried the device would be noisy. However, it's really very quiet. (The cooling fan on my PC is louder.) I have to put my ear within a few inches of the router to hear the buzzing others have described.
