Cisco Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Dual-Band Wireless-N Router

Pros: Low profile maybe?

Cons: The fact is, the E4200 underperforms my wrt300n. My wrt300n streams movies from WHS without hangups, while the E4200 was never able to successfully accomplish this. The E4200 died after 8 months of low quality service.

I bought it in January from Cis

Summary: I recommend to all that you avoid Cisco.

Subpar signal strength and throughputhave been my experience.

The fact is, the E4200 underperforms my wrt300n. My wrt300n streams movies from WHS without hangups, while the E4200 was never able to successfully accomplish this. The E4200 died after 8 months of low quality service. I have a new E4200 coming from Cisco., which is now carrying the workload because I purchased the unit through Cisco, which was a mistake. I paid more than you can get it for on Amazon. You have to buy another one before they will ship out a replacement and then credit you, and you have to pay for shipping to send it back.

I got my replacement and it works just like the first one. Did the firmware upgrade, had tech support give me the tweeks. Streaming movies stop and stutter, even when my laptop is 1 foot from the router.

Technical support should not be selling products

My wrt300n outperforms the "maximum performance" router. This thing is a joke.

I hear the new Asus RT-N56U is great. I will probably buy one of those now. This has been a terrible experience for me.
