    I am no longer getting kicked off my connection and I have not had to reboot once since upgrading to the Linksys E2500. My last router was kicking me off all the time. I use this router for my PC, 2 Kindles and a Samsung 10.1 tablet and it's working great even when all electonics are online. Netflix streams wonderfully on the tablets. The salesperson recommended this over the other brands and I am glad I followed his advice. I Like it so well I bought on for the ex so she could have wi-fi for the kids.

    This router is great, however the coverage is weak. I have an older house and even with the router located in the center of the house, I can not get good coverage to my game room for my PS3 and 360. By layout and usage, linksys recommended this router, but age and material of house plays a huge part and this router does not have the push I need.

          Comments about Linksys E2500 Advanced Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router:

          This is my first router purchase and as far as I'm concerned it's great. My oldest son set it up for me and he said it was a wise purchase and that it was easy o set up. It doesn't take up much room on my desk so I appreciate that. if I were to expand and need another router I would definitely consider purchasing the same item. I'm not real techy but I've been doing more and more with my lap top and these items surely make it easier to learn how to use computers and I feel more freedom to experiment and not worry about making mistakes.

            I simply liked the ease of setting it up. Most of the time I have problems and need help but this time it was better. I bought it over the competition because of the testimonies of the support availability.

            We think the router works very good. We seem to be able to get WiFi all over the house and it seems to even make my desk top faster. We are very satisfied and it really helped our grandchildren enjoy their stay with all their games, phones, notebooks etc. We do not have a lot of wireless things yet but imagine we will soon because they seem to be almost a must anymore. The people at Staples are all very helpful and kind and we appreciate them and do a lot of business there. My husband just bought an electric stapler and he buys boxes of paper and toner and ink.

              I prefer the lights on the front of the router, like the last one I had, but it's not really that big of a deal.
