Router seems to work fine for about a week and then I have problems writing to my attached USB drive. Reads work OK but are incredibly slow. Then the router requires a reboot and the problems go away for about a week. 23 of 29 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Cisco-Linksys E2100L Advanced Wireless-N Router (Personal Computers) I've given this router a 5-star rating based upon the ease of setup and very good wireless coverage. I purchased this router to replace a flaky Belkin router. I did the setup completely from my laptop over the wireless network. No glitches, no problems. I had to refresh a few of my connected wireless devices to update their network connections, but most devices adjusted without any intervention. The coverage is great throughout my house with no noticeable dead spots. Just got this up and running today, so haven't had a chance to directly connect a hard drive for access through the network...tomorrow. Will follow up with any situations that may affect my initial rating...so far no negatives...good product!
Update: Now rating this router with 2-stars. This router didn't work out, downloads were very slow and connection from other wireless components was problematic...replaced with a Buffalo router which is performing flawlessly now. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By Martin Beckman (Woodbridge, VA United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Cisco-Linksys E2100L Advanced Wireless-N Router (Personal Computers) I love this box, but lawyers obviously got involved. First: TURN OFF THER FIREWALL. If not your web browsing experience will be problematic. READ THE MANUAL about storage. Turn of PnP is you are not gaming. The USB Frice is 2.0. If you expect lightening read-writes, you are not going to get it any faster than any USB attached drive. It will be limited in speed either way. N-band is not the problem, the problem is the firewall. Also use proxy arp. Turn on proxy arp, save the config, restart your internet acess and restart the router. ONE LAST IMPORTANT ITEM: CHeck the Frequency being used. N-band will overlap with home wireless phones. This screw both the phones and you connection. Change the wireless to manual, pick 20Mhz-40Mhz width and then choose the highes frequency in the scroll-down lsit. Reboot and Viola! Why does Cisco do this? Lawyers. Do these things and your will live well. Martin beckmanmartin@hotmail.com |
