Summary: Not so stable - needs to reboot e now and then
Rating: 2 out of 5 Date: 2009-03-08
I did not get a better reception than the 4 years old SMC router. My son also complained about me paying so much for this piece of crap when comparing to the SMC router that I owned for more than 4 years.

E now and then I had to reset this router ever after upgrading to the latest firmware. After several months, it finally died and I couldn't get it up anymore, i.e. never able to get to the http admin home page.
Luckily, it has 3 years warranty, instead of getting a refurbished1of the same model, Linksys is sending me a refurbished WRT600N which suppose to me more expensive than the WRT350N. Not sure if it is sure however that's what the email said.

however I am not so excited about getting the WRT600N either. Based on the review from other people, the WRT600N does not seem to be any better. Linksys has been selling great quality products however I am disappointed about the WRT350N. In this case, I do not endorse it to anyone.

Summary: Dissapointing Range

This router has less range than my old Netgear Wireless-G router. dissapointing. Also, the setup wizard on the supplied CD did not work with Windows XP, and I had to manually configure the router. Other than that, all router functions seem to work well, and the user interface is great.

Summary: WRT350N working great
Rating: 5 out of 5 Date: 2009-03-04
I installed this to use with my Desktop (XP) and a Laptop (Vista), the Desktop wired, the Laptop wireless. The wiring of the Desktop was easy, I installed the software, followed directions and startup went perfect (did need to call my ISP for1piece of info). The Desktop worked flawlessly.

The Laptop came with a wireless card so only needed a menu setup and it was working, at least I could connect to the internet. When I tried to set up file and printer sharing with my Desktop (the printer is connected directly to the desktop) I found the lack of any explicit instructions related to this was a problem for me. Several days of internet research finally resolved it and now all works perfect.

Summary: 3rd party firmware
Rating: 4 out of 5 Date: 2009-01-26
Run solid with DD-WRT. Stay up for weeks without rebooting. It does somewhat increase the wireless range (I think). I no longer have problem with my kitchen pc. It handles these:
1. our hardwired maxtor shared drive.
2. my hardwired pc (nVidia gigabit).
3. our wireless kitchen pc (trendnet wireless n usb).
4. our hp 6980xi printer wirelessly (11g).
5. my iPhone (11g).
6. my work Thinkpad T500 (wireless n).
7. my wife eee (11g).
8. my nokia internet tablet (11g).

I am using DD-WRT v24-sp1. Somewhat buggy (have to reboot the router again to get the wireless back after a restart).

Summary: do not Pay Too Much
Rating: 2 out of 5 Date: 2008-11-26
The price was great I can not deny that, I paid $65. however the product has some complications. Such as losing connectivity from time to time out of no where. I believe Linksys is working on a new firmware to update this issue. If this product is over a $100.....do not purchase IT.
