The editors didn't like

  • Poor implementation of PPTP connection
  • Bandwidth doesn’t comply with the draft 802.11n specification
  • Does not support the 5GHz range
  • Low WAN speed
  • Inconvenient assembly/disassembly process
  • Not certified by the WiFi Alliance
  • Performance lower than expected for Draft-N (lower than pre-N) products. Very sensitive to antenna placement.
  • Set-up process can take some time
  • Throughput dropped substantially with 802.11b client present
  • Need matching PC Card adapter for best results
  • No guaranteed upgradeability to final 802.11n standard
  • The Linksys WRT300N performed below expectation in a mixed-mode environment and just about bombed at long range
  • Which is supposed to be a strength of the 802.11n spec.
  • Poor longrange performance
  • Mediocre case design

  • A reasonable price, solid maximum throughput, well-organized documentation, an easy setup process, essential security features, and a long warranty are the best things about the Linksys WRT300N.
  • The Linksys WRT300N performed below expectation in a mixed-mode environment and just about bombed at long range, which is supposed to be a strength of the 802.11n spec.
  • Though it offers good maximum throughput, the Linksys WRT300N ultimately fails to do the new Draft N standard proud in both mixed-mode and long-range tests. Wait to see how the rest of the Draft N products fare. Price range: $93.00 - $151.58

  • Abstract:  At long last, news of the first products based on Draft N of the not-yet-approved 802.11n specification are starting to trickle out. Despite numerous announcements, actual hardware has been scarce; first to the party is Linksyss WRT300N, a Wi-Fi rout...

  • Quite a reasonably priced router, that looks like a Dalek (cool). Performance is realistic with serious maximum throughput figures. Setup is easy thanks to well laid-out instructions, which include easy-to-follow indispensable security features.
  • Really didn?t deliver up to expectation in a mixed-mode environment with G and B equipment and surprisingly the long range tests, which is supposed to be a strength of the 802.11n spec were less than impressive.
  • Throughput is great but in our tests the WiFi range was not what we expected from the N standard. Great for apartments or smaller homes that are switching across to a full N-network.

  • Compact design, no Ethernet cable required
  • Confusing set-up, and poor support
  • The Wireless-N was marred by its lack of decent software or manual for Mac users. The installation software on the CD only works on PCs, so Mac users are left to wing it on their own. You can connect to the router’s built-in web page easily enough...

  • Abstract:  The Linksys Wireless N Broadband Router's setup wizard uses diagrams to guide you through the setup process, and the instructions are very clear. However, even though the router was plugged into our test PC with an Ethernet cable, the setup wizard couldn...

  • Impressive specification
  • Odd looking
  • Theres no missing the three antennae that sit on top of the Linksys WRT300N router. Two are conventional sticks, while the middle one looks like it was stolen from the head of Dr Whos sidekick, K9. The antennae are fully adjustable, so you can lay th...

  • One of the better and relatively inexpensive draft-N routers on the market, but it still falls short of the draft-N speed claims. Roger Gann Lowest online price: ££39.99 ...
