The Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Router lets you share a high-speed Internet connection and reach large areas of the home or office. The Home Router uses MIMO radio technology with multiple radios to create a robust signal that travels up to 3 times farther than Wireless-G. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to reduce dead spots in the wireless coverage area. With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. Delivering faster speeds at up to 9 times faster and 3 times the range of Wireless-G. Wireless-N is the next generation of wireless with advanced radio technology that increases speed with coverage & virtually eliminates dead spots.

Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointing, at best Comment: I have been a Linksys user for several years. I had a G router with remote hi-gain antennas prior to this router. I was happy with that setup but the router was getting old and starting to act up a bit. So I decided to upgrade to this N router and N adapter for my HP notebook.
Well the old G did not act up near as much as this router does... I have to reboot this thing almost daily. It either will not connect (set IP address) or the speed is all over the board... starting out at 270 Mbps and will drop to 1 Mbps, float around 1 and 50 but never re-establish itself completely.
I have tried running it with no encryption, WPA2 personal, WEP... nothing seems to impact its reliability one way or the other. It has the latest firmware...
I am truly disgusted with the Linksys product. Customer Rating: Summary: Router N Comment: I like this product a lot. My kids are using their DS Lites with it and enjoy having competition around the world. I have a MAC and enjoy using it. Will b adding more to my network. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Product! Comment: I was very nervous to buy and set up this wireless router myself because of all the horror stories about routers in general and how they can be difficult to set up. Set up was a breeze! I did have a problem with my wireless connectivity but that was because my internet service provider (ISP) set up my modem wrong. After calling my ISP three times to get my internet working properly and getting no results I thought maybe linksys could help me out. I must say that the customer service was amazing! They took my call immediately and very professionally took me step by step to figure out what the problem was. Essentially they diagnosed and solved the problem and it had nothing to do with their product! Turns out my ISP hooked up both my ethernet and USB cords to my computer and the software for my ethernet wasn't properly installed. You just don't find customer service reps who diagnose and try to solve problems that don't relate to thier product specifically anymore. Since it's been up and running I've had flawless wireless connectivity and kickin back with my XBox Live and PSP. The signal reaches all over the house and givin the size of the house it's very impressive! Highly recommend this product! Customer Rating: Summary: Linksys Wireless N Router Comment: Overall an excellent product. I am glad I made the purchase. Upraded from another wireless product line with the 802.11 g technology and I very happy with the reliability of the product. I live in an older home with plaster on top of drywall and have no signal issues throughout the house.
The only minor hitch in installation was with one of my laptops. I used a flash drive to install the router on each laptop (3) per Linksys' instructions. I had to manually find the network and put in the encryption key to get it to work.
Again very well satisfied with the price and performance. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Product by Linksys Comment: I have this router for about a month now and I am totally impressed by it. The range is excellent.The router is setup in the top floor of the building and I have my laptop in the ground floor of the building, and I am getting full bars of reception.This router exceeded my expectations.
