   Linksys' WAG160N resides in an attractive package, and manages better than most Wireless N routers. Better than most, but still nowhere near the hype. Read more

   • Decent throughput, Stylish design, LELA for Windows
   • No gigabit ethernet, Wireless N refuses to live up to the hype -- again!

   Apart from it's slim design and ease of setup this was an abject failure made even more disappointing by the fact that it's not exactly cheap. Firstly the wireless just doesn't work, you get a drop in signal strength even if you're a couple of metres away and the only way you get the signal back is to either power cycle the device or to turn the wireless of your laptop or mobile phone off and on again.

   This was very easy to set up and make the network secure, and I am by no means an IT expert. Was able to set it up and working with a wired desktop and a wireless laptop within 30 Min's from start to finish. Good features like being able to limit the times and days that a particular computer is allowed onto the Internet, no dodgy external aerials, modem and router built into one unit and all for under $200.00au.

   • No external aerials,, Great design (sleek and very low profile),, easy to configure and secure network,, easy to navigate and set up configuration via web based config...
   • Not able to connect and external Aeriel to boost range if needed,, does take up a largish footprint on the desk.
