This thing has version 1.00 firmware in it and it shows. It was slower than my wireless G modem it was to replace. All of our wireless devices took forever to load a web page--both Windows XP and Mac OS X computers. We had great response with the previous LinkSys router that it was to replace. After Googling and looking at the LinkSys web site for answers, I returned it after one day. I am back on my old, reliable router w/o a worry.

Rating: - Worst EVER router!!!
This is the worst ever router I have tested. I've had cheaper ones doing a better job. The N connection is a waste of time, effort and health!! It disconnects constantly, it has the worst wireless range, and I can keep saying only bad things about this worthless product! It really desappointed me awfully.
Rating: - Easily & automatically configured with Apple MacBook Air with Mac OS X 10.5 at 5 GHz; but not with other wireless cards@ 2.4 GHz
This Linksys WRT610N 2-channel wirelessly router works easily and smoothly with my Apple MacBook Air notebook computer with Mac OS X 10.5.5 at 5 GHz band of encryption methods of either WPA2-Personal TKIP or AES. In contrast, it did not work reliably at 2.4 GHz band with internal 54G wireless cards in my Dell Latitude D810 notebook PC and Brother MFC-8870DW wireless printer until two changes: 1) The encryption method has to be AES; TKIP did not work for me. This issue has been reported in many internet ... Read More

We bought this router to improve our wireless range at home. We went from an WRT5G to this. This router setup easliy with the linksys software. Once the first PC was added to the network I uninstalled the lela software. From there all is well. The dual bands are very nice. I have 2 PC's on the 5ghz band with one wireless gaming adapter. When I check my connection speed at any given time I am getting 270mbps. The 2.4 band is open to friends and family PC's when they come over. If they are 'G" only it doesn't ... Read More
Rating: - VISTA or DMA2200/DMA2100 users, don't do it - go with something else
Linksys and all other router manufacturers advertises the greatness of the wireless 5ghz band (especially with 802.11n), but I'm beginning to have my doubts. It is true that the 5Ghz band is hardly being used so you'll have virtually no one to compete with,. However, the 5Ghz distance in no way compares to 2.4Ghz, and as a matter of fact, I find it to be quite terribe. At approximately 20 feet away, both my Linksys DMA2200 and HP notebooke barely get 1 bar using the 5Ghz N band with my WRT610N router. In ... Read More
