    The router is situated at the far western room on the first floor and had still had linked at 18Mb/s on the far east room over a garage (through closed doors). This was using an older Dell laptop with a WPC100 Linksys pc-card adapter (At only 30 dollars, it was a gimme when I purchased the...

    Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router Reviewed

    While I cannot specify a boost in range, so far, I have no drops. Mindful, that I have only 7 hours or so of testing.

    Install was as smooth as silk. Everything recognized on the first try, unlike my DLink experiences. Firmware updated, laptop and PSP stayed connected, no drops. So far so good. david

    Circuit City just made my decision for me..... $99 for the Linksys 610N. I will hook it up, flash it, and see what shakes. -david

    Best Buy had it on sale for $160, I believe. The advantage is being able to take it back within a month, should it be inadequate.

    Thank you for the reply. Good to know that I am not alone. Researching further only shakes my decision, :). Time was that Linksys was "the brand" and Dlink was the budget model that lurked on the back shelves. Evidently, roles have reversed a bit. The Linksys wrt600N looked appealing...

    Thank you for the reply. The 655 is looking pretty sweet, it is on sale at Best Buy for 99 for that immediate gratification. I am still curious if the Linksys 610N could have the bugs out of it enough to be worthwhile. The 5GHz would not have to travel far, only requirement is distance for...

    DIR-655 A4 review, but still no DIR-855 A2 review?

    Is it worth 100 dollars for stability? Although some are happy with the 610N, there have been many complaints regarding dropped signals and daily reboots. If the 855 has great 2.4GHz range and .... passable 5GHz range, and is a stable performer, maybe it is the better value. Of course, the...

    OK... here comes yet another noob asking the local gurus what to buy. The comcast installer cooked the WAN port on my Netgear 834 so I have been in the market for a new router. I selected the DIR-825, but found it disappointing with its range and not playing nicely with my laptop card (Netgear...
