Cons When I tried it with a new computer running Vista 64, it would install but the Linksys System Advisor would not. After 1 chat and 4 phone calls with support the system will still not run. on September 5, 2008 by crater3  | Read full review

Cons TERRIBLE signal strength. See WirelessMon tests below. Not worth upgrading from a WRT54g version 1.0. on August 1, 2008 by FunkyMan3333  | Read full review

Cons Kept dropping out and then the wired router connection stopped working altogether (after 1 year warranty expired). Tech support was not helpful. on January 4, 2011 by njbl  | Read full review

Cons Serious issues with the firmware (Ver.3.0.02 and before). This known issue that is well documented in Cisco's own forums. Nothing is more frustrating that surfing the net and being automatically redirected to a different website by your router. on September 10, 2010 by firelitd  | Read full review

Cons My laptop never consistently connected to the internet. I had a harder time connecting to the internet through the router when I was 2 ft from it than when i was in another room of the house. on March 21, 2010 by rom_75  | Read full review

Cons Frequently drops the wireless connection! on February 26, 2010 by jc3513  | Read full review

Cons doesn't work for its stated purpose once it is set up! Constantly kicks you off. The Linksys we had before (and bought about 6 years ago) worked much better! on February 13, 2010 by kaj42  | Read full review

Cons Can't cannot to my wireless laptop. on December 27, 2009 by jac499  | Read full review

Cons N Band is usless as the power output is so low. NAS devices get very slow speeds. Any try to use a N-bridge will fail. Spent over 5 hours with tech supports and they charge $10.00. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT on December 9, 2009 by filcro  | Read full review

Cons Old firmware on router and poor customer service. on December 7, 2009 by wataview  | Read full review

Cons You will reset the WRT160N router 2-3 times a day. It is impossible to game with as well. On top of dropping your home network constantly, this router is also super sensitive to it's environment, unless you live in a cardboard box. on December 3, 2009 by jjhallway  | Read full review

Cons all sorts of issues. called tech support and they admitted there is an issue with this product and certain versions of windows. I'm going to Walmart today to return the thing once and for all since I already replaced it once. on November 28, 2009 by mauricethebeast  | Read full review

Cons The wireless signal drops, and the SSID is virtually hidden until a power-cycle (fwiw, upgraded firmware and setting SSID to broadcast). if the signal doesn't drop, strength varies from 60 mbps to 1. Why upgrade to a less consistent product? on November 24, 2009 by a_midlevel_user  | Read full review

Cons Wireless signal started to drop intermittently even after upgrading to latest firmware are Linksys said would cure this issue.
Even before that the Wireless range was mediocre and throughput varied. on November 7, 2009 by jscott418-21618367473133020464  | Read full review
