April 3, 2010 paulmc (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cisco-Linksys WRT400N Refurbished Wireless N Dual-Band Router (With a 90 Day Cisco-Linksys Warranty) (Electronics)
1. safe reliable purchase from Amazon through Electronica Direct. Fast, no delays or problems, email confirmations etc. great $$$$ price 90 day warranty.
2. Replacement router for older MS 802.11g MN-700.
3. 4 wireless window computers currently running (with a Roku HD-XR Player ordered and in the mail) in an extremely congested 2.4ghz condo complex. Great speed! Good range! 300mbs on the windows 7 computer with a Netgear dual band usb adapter. The other 3 computers all running at solid 54Mbs even in the neighbors kitchen.
4. Ridiculous easy set-up, load cd follow steps.
5. Needed to upgrade security WPA AES / WPA2 (old router only supported WPA PSK).
6. Hope the Roku works as well as folks have been commenting.
7. My thanks to all who helped me by writing their reviews of products!
8. I strongly recommend checking out dual band simultaneous routers, this one works great!!

I bought this refurbished WRT400N to use as a cheap wireless bridge for my home theater system to access my main router, a Cisco E4200, which is in another room. I chose the WRT400N because it has DD-WRT support and it's regarded as a pretty solid dual band router.
The WRT400N let me upgrade my XBox 360, PS3, and Wii to 5GHz wireless N all at once with just one device. Basically, my consoles plug into the WRT400N using ethernet cables (the Wii needs a USB LAN adapter for this) and the WRT400N connects to my main router over wireless. It costs about as much as a single 5GHz wireless N adapter for a console (if they're even available), but I can hook up to five devices - the WAN port can be assigned to the switch, giving an...Read more
