Replaced my Motorola Gateway SBG-900.Was having problems on certain sites with streaming audio and video packet loss rendering the programs unuseable. The Linksys WCG200 solved all issues.

Rating: - Lost Synch
When using wireless and doing medium/large transfers, looses synch (Connectivity State: In Progress Not Synchronized) and brings down the whole modem, wired and wireless. Requires a complete power cycle reset to clear the problem. Very annoying. No firmware upodates available. Very disappointed.
Rating: - Piece of Junk!
As most people have said, the wireless drops and resets itself. No updates to, spend hours on the phone with the techies to no success. I basically tossed the thing in the garbage. It was a total failure! I recommend staying away from this product because its by far the worst. I am very disappointed in Linksys.
