Summary: it works 2010-08-24
Comment: It set up easily and installed first time no problem. We get disconnected unexpectedly; I am not sure it is unit fault.There are two floors between it and the computer. Seems better now I get offline when not using computer. Glad to have it.

Comment: Let me preface my review by saying that I'm very computer literate. I stay up to date on hardware, read reviews, fix my friends' computers, and even build desktops for friends. I know how to troubleshoot and fix things when they go wrong. I'm not going to get into all the technical reasons why this router isn't a good one. I'll merely mention my experiences.
That being said, this router is junk. I bought one, set it up and had it work fine for a month or so. Every so often after that first month I'd use my computer at night, go to sleep and wake up the the next morning to find that I wasn't connected to the internet anymore. Odd. I tried resetting it and messing with the settings and would eventually get it to work. I had to do this quite a few times over the course of 3 months until it one day stopped connecting to the internet altogether. I could connect to the internet fine via an ethernet cable and the modem (so the modem and the ethernet cable from the modem were not the problem), but I was unable to connect to the internet with this router. I couldn't connect via wireless or wired connection (using another ethernet cable that I know works) on either of my 2 computers. This means that the modem and ethernet cables were fine, and the problem was not with a wireless card or ethernet port on either of my computers. The problem was the router. Nothing I did could get it to connect.
I returned it and got another one, thinking maybe I got a bad unit. Nope. I exchanged the one I described above about 3 weeks ago. I set up the new one and had it work just fine for these 3 weeks. I woke up this morning to see that I wasn't connected to the internet anymore. I played with the settings, and still couldn't get it to connect. I'm currently using a wired connection with my CM100 modem, which has worked solidly since I bought it, I might add. I'm going to return this router to the store and get a different one. I'm sick of having to troubleshoot this model. A wireless router is meant to be configured and then left on. A good one requires no maintenance and won't drop connections. It will sit there and broadcast its signal. They're not meant to be turned on and off all the time. My apartment isn't hot, electricity hasn't been surging, and there are no other factors I can think of that would cause only this router (and not my modem) to fail randomly except that it's a piece of junk.
2 out of 2 failed. That means it's time to get something else. Please save yourself the headache of trying to troubleshoot one of these. WRT120N is trash, end of story.

Summary: awful 2010-08-10
Comment: This is just my personal opinion which shouldn't be generalized, but I have a terrible terrible experience with the device. I never imagine that I write a review on Amazon. I lost irregular internet connection (on and off)for last 5 days, and first I thought that it's internet cable problems. The technician from my internet service, however, checked the internet, and the problems came from the router. I spoke to cisco technicians for roughly 4 hours (5times call, each took 50 mins)during last 24 hours, and still have same problem (conflict with internet cable modem). They finally approve the device replacement, but I am afraid if I have the same problem with the new device. The cisco technician also implied that this model has been causing lots of problems, and recommend another model e1000. In all, the router ruin my days, and I don't want to see any other victims like me anymore.

Summary: Linksys 120N 2010-08-02
Comment: Great router. Easy to set up if it is your first time setting up a wireless network. This is my third router of this model and all three routers are still up and running. Can't beat the price either. Got it refurbished for around $30.

Had I had time to read reviews I would have passed, but after two weeks I'm giving this a thumbs up with my fingers crossed.
I had some trouble with getting wireless setup, things would work for a few minutes and then die. The basic Network Magic software generates keys onto a USB drive so once I got one computer going it was relatively easy to connect the second, was also able to input a key into my Blackberry.
Maybe the earlier firmware was buggy, but this has been going without incident since the first night.
It's not a full-bore N router, but it does seem faster than my old Netgear G. I think the Linksys supplied check list showing this to be useless for surfing and e-mail is hilarious. Why would you buy it? I have a Blackberry, a low end Acer notebook, and an Acer netbook and things run fine with all three hitting the router at once. I doubt if any of the computers could make full use of the N-Band anyway.
