Simple to choose - What colour is your wireless

Terminologies Explained

Streaming music

Streaming music is a way of receiving and listening to music via a streaming provider without having to
download any files - such as internet radio stations and real-time music players.

Extended coverage

If you have a large home or your current wireless is limited to a small area, you could benefit from
extended coverage as it could give you greater and faster connectivity to your network.

Gigabit Ethernet

Gigabit Ethernet builds on top of the Ethernet protocol, but increases speed tenfold over Fast Ethernet
to 1000 Mbps, or 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). Generally speaking, it's a faster connection.

Streaming HD video

If you want to watch HD movies over the internet or broadcast HD movies across your home network,
you can benefit from a fast and reliable connection provided by a high-end router.

Wireless gaming

For cutting edge online gaming, you need a fast and reliable connection that can keep up
with the demands of today's games. Look no further than a high-end router to fulfil your gaming needs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very fast but not without problems 14 Dec 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this as a replacement for a Netgear wirless router which was reliable but rather slow. The e2000 is fast in comparison and is one of the fastest routers available for home / small office use. When I got it up and running there was at least a 50% increase in speed with the e2000.

However, the e2000 is not as easy to set up as the Netgear. I recommend that you do not install the software that comes it with, but configure the router via the web interface. That said, I found this interface unintuitive to use and missing certain expected features such as the ability to show what devices are currently connected.

The basic set up was simple enough, but I found that I had and still have problems with this unit that I did not have with the Netgear. These are the problems on the e2000 that I encountered:

1) Sometimes a client cannot obtain an ip address from the router after connecting wirelessly, and thus is not able to get access to the Internet.

2) Sometimes the wireless speed drops to less than 0,5 Mbits/second.

3) I could not, and still cannot, connect to my PC from outside my home via remote desktop via the e2000.

The first problem can sometimes be solved by re-installing an updated driver on the client's onboard wireless network device - if you can find one. if you using a Vista client expect trouble, and if it's an old machine then you'll be hard pressed to find a compatible driver. Even after updating the drivers, the firmware and everything, and the problem is apparently fixed, the problem will still mysteriously come back sometimes of its own accord, hang around for a while, then disappear again! I haven't yet discovered the logic behind this frustrating problem. Rebooting and restarting the router sometimes helps, and I have found that I have to restart this router quite often.

The second problem is caused by interference with other wireless routers in the neighbourhood which using the same channel, and means you have to experiment with the other channels until you find one that works. I expect this has something to do with the long range of the receiver.

The third problem was never resolved which is annoying because RDP was a service I used regularly. Despite following the instructions to open the RDP service ports on the e2000, and asking technical support, the service is still being blocked. I have read that other users have had this problem also.

In conclusion, I would not recommend this router unless you are good with computers. It's fast, but not as reliable or stable as it should be. I think it's very bad that wireless connectivity is so sensitive to the network driver version used on a connecting computer, and also bad that it's not possible to connect to RDP through it like it says you can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highland Laddie 12 Mar 2012
I purchased this router after returning an unsatisfactory Netgear router, which frequently failed to connect, or dropped out. It was simplicity itself to set up, the only thing I had to do was to change the password. (The Netgear set-up involved much more work, probably not helped by the unit being faulty. To their credit, the Netgear technical boys did their best to sort out the problem, but they failed after three telephone calls lasting a total of almost two hours.)
I would purchase from Linksys again, largely due to the uncomplicated set-up, given that I am not a computer buff.
