The Wireless-N Home Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. minimize

5 Star Review Excellent wireless router for a large apartment in a steel-and-concrete building

Strengths:

* Signal coverage * Fast connection * Variety of security options * Easy setup (if you have done at least once before) * Compact design * Linksys quality

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Mar 21, 2007 - If you are looking for a quality wireless router to provide a reliable signal throughout a large apartment or need to expand the area of wireless network coverage, this is a great device for you. Rich with security and network configuration options, this device is an excellent choice, for those who seek to upgrade an older device to increase signal strength or/and wireless network speed. Do not forget to enable wireless security, because extra coverage translates into increased number of wireless "guests" trying to tap on your Internet connection.

5 Star Review Easy to install and easy to use

Strengths:

Super easy to setup, outstanding connection speeds, extensive range

Weaknesses:

Live Tech support staff is in India/Pakistan

Posted Sep 17, 2007 - It is a haven for my small network that shares high-speed broadband Internet access, files and printer among older wired computers with XP and Vista powered wireless notebooks. I still get "Good" or "Excellent" signal strength even outside of the house and able to work and get some fresh air in the same time. Great price compared to other routers, too.

5 Star Review The best router I've ever had.

Strengths:

1. Super long range 2. Easy setting interface 3. Reasonable pricing

Weaknesses:

1. Ugly color and design 2. Plastic exterior case looks cheap 3. No advance users manual

Posted May 24, 2007 - 1. Super long range. I place this router in one house and set up my desktop PC in another building.(at least 50 feet away)The reception is strong and stable. 2. Easy setting interface. Linksys, as usual, very simple and clear step by step to lead you complete the setting. 3. Reasonable pricing. I also tried Linksys WRT300N and 2 other brands highend products. No need to pay extra money for those advertising numbers. They all have similar range. I can't believe how far the wireless range can go nowadays. The first router I purchased 7 years ago was made by buffalo. over $450 but can't even have stable connection when I bring my laptop to living room (router was in the bedroom). Before getting this product I was thinking to activate another DSL service in this building. Try WRT150N then you'll know what I am talking about.

5 Star Review LinkSys Wireless-N Router / WRT150N

Strengths:

Easy to use and small. Signal is really strong. Great receiption.

Weaknesses:

No many Wireless N device support now. I can't get my laptop to support N in WI-FI yet. No any laptop has N wireless yet. They only have b and g.

Posted Mar 27, 2007 - So far. I still think Linksys is great which I never purchase any other band. However, it may be early to use N which I heard N is still not the industry standard. It may go away or stay depend on the standard it.

5 Star Review "Secure, reliable, and easy to install!"

Strengths:

Great Tech Support, Small Design, Easy Setup

Weaknesses:

Not the fastest, Encryption is confusing on what they mean

Posted May 12, 2007 - This is a pretty grat model. I use it for both wireless and wired networking. The wireless is great but the encryption explanation is so so. This is what it means if you look this up on CNET or a different site. PSK Personal is the same as WPA. PSK 2 Personal is the same as WPA2.

5 Star Review Linksys WRT150N Router

Strengths:

Great Tech support; good price; faster than my older version; networks easily.

Weaknesses:

None so far

Posted Jun 3, 2007 - I was so satisfied with my old Linksys that I knew this would be better and faster, and it is. I like the sleek design, but I'm not much on looks. What I want is performance and I have it with this router. I have not used the wireless aspect, but I'm sure that it would work quite well. I had a small problem with the installation, but I called the Linksys tech's and in less than fifteen minutes it was up and connected. If you hard wire like I did make sure to disable the wireless, so others don't intrude.

5 Star Review Great Product

Strengths:

Good signal, great range, loads of features

Weaknesses:

A bit tricky to get set up

Posted Jul 2, 2007 - Great product from linksys. I use mine with ATT DSL and use the on-board hardware to bypass the DSL modem to connect directly with the ATT. I have never had signal drops and was able to adjust the signal so it didn't interupt other WiFi products.

5 Star Review Great Router

Strengths:

Easy Set Up -- less than an hour, So far very smooth glitch-free operation

Weaknesses:

None so far -- now I think I need faster internet service and a new computer -- not happening though

Posted Oct 30, 2007 - I set up the router using the Easy Advisor CD in less than an hour. This is my second or third router set up and by far the easiest. I did call Linksys to make sure I had the latest firmware and to make sure I understood how to access the web accessable router set up. Turns out the instructions are available on their web site if you look around. Updating the firmware is easy, but it turned out mine was current. The latest firmware is also downloadable from their site. My old router, which will remain nameless to protect the guilty, was glitchy as the dickens. What a pleasure using this one is! It looks a bit like it belongs on the old Star Trek series, but it works great. I can watch videos, download files and play games over my DSL connection with reckless abandon. Before my old crummy router locked up at least several times a week. I think it overheated. If I turned it off for a while it was OK for a bit. I finally gave up on it.

5 Star Review Linksys WRT150N - Wireless N Router

Strengths:

power/reach, linksys quality

Weaknesses:

pricey compared to other decent G routers

Posted Mar 28, 2007 - I have not taken advantage of the N speed yet, but I can definitely tell a noticeable difference on the range. Several neighbors houses near and somewhat far from us are able to see the router with their laptops. Very happy with the router's performance so far but it was not cheap!

5 Star Review Excellent Router

Strengths:

Very good signal strength, nice little cute one

Weaknesses:

Didn't find any.

Posted Aug 27, 2007 - I've been using this router for almost 3 months now and never had any problem. It is a small little cute one having a very strong signal. I've a 3-level house and the router is on the third level. The speed is pretty nice on the first one. I'm quite impressed with it. I'm currently using it as G and not N but I'm sure when I start using the N-adapter, it is going to be more better.

4 Star Review 7.2 out of 10

Strengths:

Linksys makes setup easy for newbies; great throughput at long range; offers the latest security features; low price for an 11N router.

Weaknesses:

Linksys scaled back the warranty for this product to one year.

Posted May 12, 2007 - The Linksys WRT150N is a great router option for those who want the range improvement of 11N but don't need the other features--or the steep price tag. The Good? Linksys makes setup easy for newbies; great throughput at long range; offers the latest security features; low price for an 11N router.

4 Star Review The WRT150

Strengths:

Its fast

Weaknesses:

none yet

Posted Feb 27, 2007 - I recently purchased this router, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I upgraded from an 802.11b router so I can really see the difference. Did not hook my Voip to it yet but we'll see how that goes.

4 Star Review Wireless N - First Time User

Strengths:

- Easy setup - Not much different from the WRT54GS setup

Weaknesses:

- None so far

Posted Aug 27, 2007 - Added some new electronitc toys (Sony PS3 & Toshiba HD DVD) that can use a wireless connect and wanted to improve download speeds. I just finished the install; very easy. Will now go and give my PS3 and Toshiba HD DVD player a try and let you know if I can notice an improvement on download speeds. -08-27-2007 - Ok; yes I could tell a difference in download time; I downloaded a movie trailer from my PS3 and could tell that it took less time; not a lot less; it wasn't screeming fast, but I could tell a difference. So could I recommend this router; probably, especially if you can get it on sale ... I got my for $89.99.

Weaknesses:

-Can occasionally drop connections
