Linksys WRT300N (May 17 2007)
After having two poor experiences with previous routers, I tried to purchase the latest and greatest router. Introducing the Linksys WRT300N.
Latest? Yes. Greatest? Possibly
not.
After purchasing it I found out there are a lot of bad reviews for the Linksys WRT300N. However most of them reviews are based on using the wireless "N" technology, which isn't a
standard as of yet. Therefore, the reviews are based on a draft.
To me, this is fine as we aren't using Wireless "N" network cards as of yet, we are still in the "G" era. So my review is based on using the WRT300N with a wireless G nic on my MAC, and a 10/100mbps wired nic card on my Windows Machine.
So far, things are running smooth. The router isn't dropping my signal and it looks to be running smoother then any of the other wireless routers I have tried. The device works great for transferring large or small files through the wireless connection and can handle the constant traffic going through our connection. I have lost the signal once with my wireless "G" nic card and I can not blame the router as it may have been my own fault. The good news was that the wireless router was picked back up immediately.
As for cost, it was the most expensive router I could purchase at the local futureshop, but it out performs the other routers I tried. Therefore, as usual, you get what you pay for.
All in all, things are running smooth with the router.
