Product DescriptionThe Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Router lets you share a high-speed Internet connection and reach large areas of the home or office. The Home Router uses MIMO radio technology with multiple radios to create a robust signal that travels up to 3 times farther than Wireless-G. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to reduce dead spots in the wireless coverage area. With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. Delivering faster speeds at up to 9 times faster and 3 times the range of Wireless-G. Wireless-N is the next generation of wireless with advanced radio technology that increases speed with coverage & virtually eliminates dead spots.

Rating: - Awesome! But ONLY with DD-WRT
Many of you have probably seen references to DD-WRT in other reviews and wonder what it is. It is a firmware upgrade to your router that was created by an opensource group called, as you may have guessed, DD-WRT. This upgrade is available only through their website, not through Linksys.

Rating: - Great router, but not for multilevel/older homes.
This has been one of the easiest routers to set up and work with. My issue with it is its signal output. Regardless of playing with the built in antenna (big problem for this little router--yep...not removable), I can't get signal to the other side of the house.
The house I have is an old colonial (135 yrs old)--brick and plaster, lots of doors and hallways, three floors. Access point is on one side of the house and cannot be moved. I can get the signal to travel vertically down 2 floors, but ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointing, at best... but there is hope yet!
I have been a Linksys user for several years. I had a G router with remote hi-gain antennas prior to this router. I was happy with that setup but the router was getting old and starting to act up a bit. So I decided to upgrade to this N router and N adapter for my HP notebook.
