I have had this router for a week and have had trouble with speed degradation. My internet download speeds drop from 20Mbps down to 3-5 Mbps almost on a dailly basis. If I reboot the router it goes right back to 20Mbps. I also have had the router reset completely on it's own, loosing all of the configuration. settings. All in all I'm pretty disappointed and am not happy with this unstable and unreliable device.

Hmm I wish I had gotten this one then.Belkin N+ is a good router though and we haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.I would recommend it. But I'm thinking the version2 of this linksys is better.

I had some issue related to USB nut now it works good after applying latest firmware, now my money is not a waste

So How did it go Brent? I want to order this router as well and may just do it today. I am hoping they ship me V2 just to make my life easier. Would love some feedback from you.

This router is pretty decent as of version 2. You can tell if it's version 2 by the on/off switch and the label on the bottom of the router that says v2. The USB port is intended for single devices and not a USB hub of any kind. I have had this router for a month and am comfortable with the purchase. Most of the recent comments on Amazon are positive. The older comments are negative and had to do with V1 and older firmware.

FYI i ordered this router and received it a few days ago. it is in fact a Version2 model. U can tell by the red sides and top on the box. It installed flawlessly and has been up and running with both bands for 3 days without incident. I think you will find the woes everyone have had were mostly with the version 1 rendering as my experience with the most recent version has been excellent. Dont let the bad reviews fool u or scare u away. Linksys now has their act together on this router. also be sure to use the included software as instructed. Its easy.

I don't know if I would necessarily draw the conclusion that the router is no good. Wireless network setup can befuddle most novice users (and can even make experienced users pull their hair out). The #1 mistake most of the reviewers on here make is that they don't upgrade the firmware as the first step. That goes for any router though. It took me about 2 days of research before deciding in this router. I just ordered it though, and it won't arrive until Wednesday, so I can't give you my feedback on it yet.

While I haven't used either I can tell you two of my past three Netgear routers have died on me. For that reason alone I am choosing Linksys over Netgear this time.

After a few months, my device also performed poorly as a wireless router. I had good performance when I bypassed the wifi and used the SBG901 in bridge mode as a modem. Ultimately my best solution wasto replace it with separate modem and router components.

I double checked the router and the manufacturer website specs for this router and it doesn't appear to support the 802.11b protocol, but check your device manufacturer's website you may be able to upgrade the device with a firmware download. the router is worth the hassle for the range and reliability alone. I'm running 2 hardwired and 6 wireless devices with no less than 4 devices online at a given time with no signal or speed degradation

A wireless router is ok. Contact tech support on how to do it when the time comes

It has both the USB and Ethernet that you can connect to the router. I have never used the USB, but have it connected to my Gigabit Ethernet router and it works great.

Well, I've tried everything I could think of and it still won't connect to my wireless-N router. Tried Acer support but they want to charge me an hourly rate over the phone!!! You buy their product which then doesn't seem to work and you have to pay them for tech support. What a scam!!! I'm returning mine to Amazon.

I am not sure, have you checked with Netgear? I love the router, I use it with Clear wireless internet.

I don't know, I just hooked it up and everything worked, router might be bad, I have a netgear router, very happy with it.

Hi, My advice is to return that piece of garbage,I bought it but I installed like a month and a half after, the worse router I ever had, very poor signal range, connection drops constantly, I tried to return it but it was too late, I threw 70 bucks to the garbage, if you can, again stay away from that router it will give you many headaches. It is the last time I buy a Netgear product. Good luck!

I would recommend getting a USB type, there are expasion slots inside but I have found using an external DLink USB transmitter works well if you have N Technology on your wireless router be sure to get an N type USB card

So, just to understand because I tried two USB n adapters on mine then took it back to BB.You are up and running wireless using the AirLink?Cool! I'll go get the unit again.

Joanne I am sorry I cannot compare. I can say the one I have is not good but i have yet to determine if it is the router or my Internet speed. Sorry I can't be better assistance.

Best way to get it working real good Is to get the netgear router and adapters that support wireless N. much faster than G

Why don't they just say you need THEIR usb wireless adapter? I tried one I already owned and another one I paid for through my internet provider. This blows!

Does anyone know what wireless it supports? Does it do 802.11n ? or only 802.11g? thanks in advance.
