    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.

    I'm not a computer whiz nor a total dunce, but I am not comfortable installing or setting up anything on my computer for fear of doing more harm than good. I purchased the product and a very computer savy friend tried to hookup/install it for me. When he tried it didn't work and we did not get a wireless signal, so the following night I called the manufacture's number and the lady worked with me for over 2 hours and she decided it was a communication problem between the product and my tablet and referred me to another place. WHICH CHARGED ME $39+ VIA CREDIT CARD. They worked with me for another 2 hours only to conclude the box is defective. I am now out the price of the box and the $39+ cc charge and still don't have wireless internet connection. Hoping Staples will give my money back. Since the one I bought was defective, Never got to use it so don't know if I would recommend a working one to family and friends.

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

    Converted from AT&T to cable company and opted to buy my own router. I chose the Linksys E2500 because it offered a good price/performance value. Installation was a simple plug in, and the set-up was quick and easy. I added an 'N' USB adapter to the computer the computer that had been previously connedted via cable, but the remaining three computers continue using their existing 'G' adapters so have not noticed much of a speed increase on them. So far I am very happy with the performance of my new router.

      So far this has been reliable and hasn't lost or slowed down connection. I only have it on three devices, but it is working great and I would recommend this to a small biz owner or home owner with multi-family environment.

            Device is being used primarily as a hub and wireless access point. Very reliable connection. We would more likely fall into the medium bandwidth user classification, but options above were only low and high.
