This review is from: Cisco-Linksys WRT320N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit RouterI have this router now for six weeks. Right out of the box it gave me great speed over wired Gigabit ethernet. But over a few days, the speed went down to good ol' dial-up times. Only a router reset gave back the full speed - for a few hours until the problem came up again.There was long discussion about this problem over at the vendor forum, and finally the issue was solved by Linksys/Cisco (had something to do with UPnP, you don't wanna know the details).So please do yourself a favor: Buy this router. It is the best device for a home great network with a fast internet connection. BUT immediately after purchase, upgrade the router firmware to Ver 1.0.03 build 10 (release date 08/13/2009). It will save you the trouble I had....

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys WRT320N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit RouterI bought this to replace my Linksys WRT54GS wireless router because I wanted the gigabit functionality for my wired network. I installed this router without using the included software. It worked instantly and flawlessly.I have only had it for about a week. So far, I have nothing negative to report. The strength of the wireless signals is improved and my wired computers (3) transfer data at incredible speeds.Installing routers successfully, especially wireless routers, requires a solid understanding of the technology and options available to you. I was actually hesitant to buy this router because of the negative reviews I read, but I wanted gigabit connectivity and this seemed like the best option. A lot of products get blasted, but its not always clear whether the problems lie with the products or those attempting to install and use them.Suggestion: When installing wireless routers, I suggest filtering MAC addresses for wireless connections to only allow computers with the MAC addresses you have entered on your list to connect to your router....

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys WRT320N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit RouterLinksys by Cisco WRT320N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit RouterWe were connecting a Vista laptop running a Dlink N adaptor, a MAC laptop and a wired Vista desktop. This home/office configuration previously operated on a Linksys wireless G router. We have been using Linksys routers for several years. When the older G router finally failed, we stayed with the same vendor. We purchased a new Linksys WRT320N. Initially the WRT320N connected and appeared to be much faster and better. A few hours later we started having connection trouble. Our MAC laptop would lose the connection and need to be reconnected using the SSID and the wireless password. Both the MAC and the Vista laptop would separately lose connectivity to the WRT320N network. Our wireless distance was about 20 feet from the WRT320N router. Sometimes when we attempted to connect using wireless we would not see our network in the list of networks that we can connect to. Other networks around the neighborhood were visible. Once connected, the router was unable to maintain any type of load such as wirelessly watching a movie. An internet movie would fail in less than 5 minutes time. PROS: The wired connections seemed to work well. Wired router response time was good.CONS: The WRT320N ran very hot. We were careful to position the router to receive maximum air flow.Under ideal conditions, Individual wireless sessions would randomly lose connection.Under ideal conditions, Wireless connections were difficult to establish.Under ideal conditions, Wireless connections could not support a consistent load.SUMMARY:After many hours of trying to fix connection trouble, we decided to pack it up and return it. We replaced it with a Netgear 3500. Once installed, all of the connection issues vanished. Wireless movie viewing worked without a hitch. Netgear wireless throughput was fast and good....
