Easy to set up; great operation, November 19, 2009

Based on reviews on a web site I got from Google (can't remember exact one) and Amazon customer reviews, I selected this router; set up went very smoothly; easily established link to laptop; and easily converted PC Desktop to wireless; have used for about 1 month with no problems

Solid performance, November 15, 2009

I have purchased this router from Amazon directly 3 weeks ago. I was able to setup in 5 min. So far, it performed flawlessly. I only had once or twice drop in connection, however, I believe it had more to do with Intel wireless drivers on my laptop than the router. Overall pretty good performance.

1. Small Net Builder.com

SmallNetBuilder.com subjects the Linksys WRT610N to its usual exhaustive tests and concludes that it's "the only viable game in town" among the new crop of simultaneous dual-band routers. However, in later speed tests, the Linksys WRT610N is beaten by the newer Netgear WNDR3700 and Linksys's own less-expensive WRT400N.
