"Almost there Linksys!"
Pros: Speed, Speed, and Speed
Cons: Range not as far as Linksys says
Summary: I don't know why so many of these guys had problems with this router? The speed is very, very good. I would say this WRT300N Router is about 25% to about 35% faster than the Linksys WRT54GX4 Router. If you were to buy this new router the main reason you should buy it is because of SPEED!!! The setup of this router was really easy. And also the compatibility of this router too! It works great with other Wireless G and B devices! The only bad thing about this router is the range. I did a couple of trials with my old Linksys Router (WRT54GX4) and my newly bought router (WRT300N). And strangely my old WRT54GX4 had a little bit of a farther range than my new WRT300N. I'm still keeping my WRT300N for the speed though. I would recommend that you get this router if you don?t have a router with SRX technology. But if you have the following Routers, WRT54GX, WRT54GX2, or WRT54GX4, just go on ahead and keep them until you see the real capability of Wireless N Routers later next year in 2007 and then you could decide what Wireless N Routers you would like to buy.

This guy has no idea what he is talking about. There isn't any NOTICEABLE speed difference between these two routers. I install Wireless Broadband Internet for a living and have worked with many many routers, and the only difference that is noticeable is when you are transferring files within your network, and that's only if you're wireless card in your laptop or PC is N as well. Otherwise, you're limited to what your card is. Please, know some facts before spitting out nonsense.

Yes, I don't see why everybody else had problems... I think the problem with the range is there placing their routers under the floorboards and expect to have 100% even at 2 milees away. Mine has worked so well even with the range because I have a computer armwa're (i killed the spelling) and my modem and router are at the very top. Anyway, I got to say that as a major pain in the a55 that it is the firmware updates REALLY help.
Im glad at least one had got it to work.
