Is this easy to set up? I'd like to travel with it and want to make sure I won't be frustrated at the resort b/c I need a router or anything like that.

Yes, it is! We have traveled a few times with it. No issues. This was my fourth monitor. None of them compare!!! By far best one out there for picture quality.

Super easy to set up. I actually set it up in a matter of minutes without looking at the directions.

Very easy to set up and use. Plug in camera turn on camera and monitor that's it. No computer required. could not be easier.

No router needed, super easy to set up. Camera can stand on a desk or wall mount. Just plug in the camera and turn it on, then turn on the handset, that's all. Handset comes half charged, plus two different USB chargers. We travel between three different homes with ours.

sorry-I don't understand your question-this is not a router-don't know how it would do for what you ask about-I suggest a router

Yes, it is very easy to set up. I have problems setting watches, computers, and everything else, but this was simple!

The set up is too easy, just download the app and link it as simple as that. There is a video in YouTube explaining the set up.

When I bought this, I thought it was ready for wifi but it's not. I'm thinking I need to purchase an airport card (extra $30). I can't get an answer on this. Sorry, not sure I helped.

It's a great modem + router however it's tricky to set up. I had to get both D-Link and my ISP on the line in order to set it up correctly. Aside from that, I'm very happy with it.

Yes, under the default DD-WRT firmware you can setup a guest network pretty easily. Their support is pretty good at helping if you need it, although sometimes you get someone who is clueless, so you need to hang-up and call back.

Hi, I think there are better router choices around than this one. I found the user interface tough to navigate & it seemed like I needed to reset it quite a few times to keep it running so I ended up getting a different one from Netgear. I didn't try to use this with any Apple Products so I'm sorry but I don't know on that one. Take care!

If the router has up to date software you should be able to load it without to many problems.I bought one the software was not current so I had to contact their help staff. They had me up and running within a half hour.

Both previous answers are true. As Joseph mentioned, there is a very basic wizard for the initial setup. It will get you online, and get an access point running, and that's it. Beyond that, Javier's comment is very much true. Everything is adjustable, and pretty much none of it is explained by Router OS itself.If you're willing to learn, though, you can do quite a lot with it. I run an SNMP trap on a Linux server which records all my traffic data. It's quite handy to see how much data I've gone through for the month, and I can break it down by any time period I like.

you need the internet. additionally,i never could get it set up without being able to hard wire it to a router before using it wirelessly. which made it useless for my situation.(no access to router, just a wireless signal.

Could you please let me know if this worked out for you?I am considering the same solution to tunnel all my internet traffic through VPN:one VPN-router between the router of my Internet Service Provider and the Apple Airport.It would be nice to know if you could let me know if you got your connection working!

I just got mine and am not happy with the set-up. The directions are hard to follow and info on facebook, etc is poor. It seems to be a highly regarded unit and looks to be very well made. I'm pretty sure I will be happy with it in the long run. Cliff

Thanks a ton. Very helpful. In your opinion, is this worth a DIY adventure or is there not much to be saved in calling someone to setup?

How did you setup this router? Once you turn it on and your kindle or iphone is connected the first time... you'll be connected automatically

Take a look at the directions again. They're pretty specific on how to use it for the first time. After you follow the initial set up, you will have no problems!

Well I tried connecting a drive to the router. Works fine. You'll need the PDF manual found online (not in my box or CD) to set it up. You'll probably not figure it out without it. I connected a WD320 as well as a WD500 through a 5-port passive stick hub. The router sees both drives and labels them Drive 1 and Drive 2. You have plenty of options to customize directories as well as protect who gets access to them. You can also indidually assign passwords to users and assign access to guests. The drives I plugged in already have data on them. There is an option to format the drive when you plug it in. Make sure you do NOT do this because you will lose any/all information on the drive itself. Transfer speed is fairly consistent to other NAS out there. The Linksys E3000 does keep a listing of the master directory and can peruse it on an user inputted basis to keep the directory updated. When you access the drive of course you will have the lag associated with the drive itself starting up. Watching movies streamed from either drive via wireless N was pretty good with only a hiccup or two over an hour show. I'm sure YMMV over distance you are from the router. My router is downstairs at the front of my house. Unbelievably, I get 5 bars upstairs at the rear of the residence - not like that WRT110 or WRT600N. On a side note, I can only acquire 130mbps, not the 300 advertised on the box. I was getting 300 through my WRT600N and WRT110N routers. Perhaps thats an issue to take up with Linksys Tech Support (oh boy..) Other than that good router overall. I paid $194.38 at Staples last week. They may see it returned shortly. The same router is a much better deal here on Amazon than here. If you need networked attached storage, this is a good router to purchase.
