extremely fast, December 4th, 2012
I didn't believe how fast this router was.. my Smart HD TV works on you tube with almost no buffering. My Galaxy 2 phone is super quick even with 7 devices running.. Strongly recommend this Product!!!!

Very impressed with product and shipping., December 4th, 2012
Product exceeded my hopes on a wireless router. Very easy to install. Have had other Linksys products and all have been very trusting and dependable. Even though it is a refurb product, you count on it being just as good as a "brand new" and save money also. Shipping to home was ultra fast. I highly recommend this product. Thank you Linksys.

Very Good Router with some useful features, December 4th, 2012
I bought this router to replace a wrt320n router that was giving me problems. The setup went without a hitch. The USB port was something different. I attach an external 4TB hard-drive to it and use it to back up my Network PCs and share files accross my network. I yet to test its Cloud features. But, I'am looking forward to using it.
