    Linksys N900 Wi-Fi Wireless Dual-Band+ Router with Gigabit & USB Ports, Smart Wi-Fi App Enabled to Control Your Network from Anywhere (EA4500)

    • But the following day it would happen again and I would lose connection
    • Should NOT have to manually kill a "ghost" connection to reconnect later
    • Easy to set up.....great for in house wireless network as well as general network connection
    • I got a defective router that lost connection after reaching two devices connected.
    • I used to get only one bar on my laptop while working about 35 feet away from the M10, now I get a full four bars, super-fast connection, and max download speed
    • The indicator light, and the routre's performance confirmed that the Cat 5e port that carried the signal into this router had a faulty connection interface.
    • I could not get wireless in the bedroom before, now speedy connections in a flash.
    • Just remember 5GHz is not a faster connection then the 2.4
    • Cisco tech support (on hold for 45 minutes, poor English, very bad quality VoIP phone connection via the Philippines...) finally admitted that my device was dead - which I knew from the beginning.
    • I should add this router also creates a GUEST network (a network that can never access your home files).Yet, if friends come over, they will be greeted with an easy Wi-Fi connection
    • Connection is easy
    • I am sitting 2 rooms away from the device (3 walls) and my connection is spotless.
    • It is a very fast connection
    • They sent me a new router that arrived with a new set of problems (refused network connections and failed to provide a secure guest connection)
    • Every couple hours this router is losing connection and reseting and not gaining any internet access at all
    • My computer and NAS has a seamless connection
    • Easy to setup and fast connection
    • Intermittent connections from the starting date
    • With the older router I found my connection between my samsung TV to my NAS to be painfully slow for media listing, but played movies well.
    • Quite often need to reboot to get WiFI working and it often "loses" device connections.
    • None of the devices have lost the connection and I've had company with all their stuff connected too with no problem.
    • I had to spend 2 hrs with tech support that had a terrible connection and poor English skills (although nice person and really tried) and even worse knowledge
    • Shortly after that the wireless would lose connection to the modem
    • The device now drops connections to wired devices like printers and computers after approximately twenty minutes of use
    • Not only it extremely slows my connection but it drops devices off WiFi
    • The only thing I can figure is that the router was switching my computer's connection back and forth between G and N over and over, causing me to have a choppy connection
    • Can't get any connection - might as well not even be there.
    • Set-up was simple and fool-proof and when it worked it worked great, but from day one it would continually lose connection to my devices and report that the internet was down when it wasn't.
    • Wireless connections were flaky at best
    • I get a very good connection through 2 walls 16-24Mbps
    • While set up was fairly straight forward the router produced very unstable connections to my home network clients.
    • Would often lose connection as in once or twice every hour on the hour
    • My prior router used to drop wireless connections left and right
    • The issue was an unstable connection due to 3-year old modem that was simply malfunctioning
    • I alredy make up my mind this router gotta to let go, fopr so long time suffering its mild-speed connection, finally see the E4200 v2 and EA4500 coming out
    • I highly recommend this router to anyone wanting to take advantage of a dual band router to get the most from their internet speed as the connection is capable of.
    • This connection was unreliable for any computer, so we unplugged it, and reattached it to computer near the printer
    • It is providing fast connection and perfect distance for our house
    • They sent me a new router that arrived with a new set of problems (refused network connections and failed to provide a secure guest connection)
    • Cisco Connect Cloud will allow a secure connection to be made to a home network from a browser or mobile device
    • This routers 2ghz connection is seriously flawed constantly dropping connection and only providing a maximum bandwidth of about 1200kb/s
    • There are NO other devices connected to the router to drag the mixed mode connection down from N - verified by reviewing attached devices in DHCP Client table.
    • The range is not so impresive as I expected to be, it is the same as my old WRT54g, my house is made of bricks and the farther I could get fine connection was around one block, get a router with external antennas if you want better range
    • I have a bunch of wireless devices (computer, printer, tablet) plus more when company is here, and some of the devices were losing their connection.
    • But lately it got worse, first perfomance seemed to go down some and them one evening, while watching Netflix, the connection was totally lost
    • I have never had a reboot with it, it has never lost connection and I paid a grand total of $20 for it
    • I currently use this as my Magic Jack Plus connection to the internet.
    • I have not measured any speed test or signal & range test but so far all the gadgets connected on this router has a solid connection all the time
    • 9205-n (the real-tek included with my brand-new Lenovo couldn't pick up the 5GHz signal)Now my wireless is moving as fast as my wired connection and way more reliably
    • Now that the initial configuration is down it doesn't seem to matter what order either it or the modem power up in, although like I said I'm still having intermittent connection issues where I get up in the morning and nothing can access the internet until I power cycle the router
    • If you lost internet connection for whatever reason, you would not get it back for 24 hours
    • One thing i would caution is the "guest" access does not provide a way to secure the connection.
    • It loses connection from time to time and I have to reset the router on average about 5 times/year
    • Works great, excellent connection even hundreds of feet away.
    • What happens is that your connection is slower because you router configurations is on Cisco server and needs to communicate with Cisco.
    • Stable wireless connection
    • Spotty WIFI.Dropped connections
    • Wired connections to both my PC and the Dish receiver seemed to work fine.
    • After a few weeks, I did something to my internet connection on my laptop (I was messing around with settings, nothing the router did itself), and lost my internet connection
    • The router failed with intermittent connections initially but after two months of use the 2.4Ghz band completely fizzled out
    • I had an old Linksys router that was slow and dropped connections to the internet at least once a day, requiring a 'unplug; plug back in' exercise.
    • so this provides faster connection speeds
    • I lose connection all the time, have to reboot to get connection back
    • works great no problems have three laptops and PS3 connected wireless have great internet connection and they down load faster.
    • If you are using this to support a VPN connection it can be even more irritating
    • Needed to update old router for faster connection.
    • Speed varied wildly despite a strong and steady cable modem internet connection.
    • Two gaming consoles, television, 3 Kindles and three computer systems so far are getting a great connection.
    • Devices requiring Wifi service get "connection unstable" message.
    • OK so far except for my android that seems to lose connection.
    • (even those with some accent.)They will even call you back if you lose phone connection.
    • For best result, like me, a nerd with wife and 2 kids, go get the catagory 6 cable, if you want the connection really fly like mind, DO NOT USE cat5 or
    • If one of the kids uses their tablet to connect to the router, the PC can lose connection.
    • Ill keep the review simple, the router does the work, it looses internet connection sometimes and needs to be rebooted, (quickest fix for this issue.
    • Stable connections (for the first couple of months).Rich user interface
    • I will definitely not recommend anyone to buy Linksys N900, is the worst wireless router, what’s good to have a good name, a fast connection, a great interface if the wifi signal keeps dropping
    • My tablets and Wifi smart phone now got better connection, 2 stories building home now can all covering plus front and back yard all can get at least 3 block of signals, but indoor, my connection are all FULL BARS
    • Pitiful product...crap setup and intermittent connection
    • EA4500 gives stable connection both on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels
    • It has lumped several together so when it shuts off for the one I have it set for, other devices also lose Internet connection
    • No matter if you have cable connected the router to your computer, if you don't have a wireless connection available, you have to buy a wireless network adapter to configure it
    • But it's a very easy a procedure,(c
    • I purchased it new on Amazon, but Apple told me it was actually 4 - 6 years old, NOT an N class & NOT secure
    • I purchased it new on Amazon, but Apple told me it was actually 4 - 6 years old, NOT an N class & NOT secure
    • Much better coverage than my Cisco E-4200 I replaced.
    • But it's a very easy a procedure,(c
    • Had a WRG54T for years and loved it
    • To anyone reading my review, please see my update at the bottom of this page as I no longer have confidence in this device, nor can I recommend this product to anyone.**************************************************************************************************************************************************I purchased this router a year ago to replace our aging WRT54g after we moved into our home last year and we needed a router that could adequately handle both our wireless needs for our laptops, Roku boxes, iPhones, iPads, and Kindles, but also handle our MoCa based wired Ethernet network that has one media server, a desktop
