This router's best assets are its ease of setup and throughput at the 5 GHz band. It's best for those wanting to cover smaller spaces, however, as its long-distance performance isn't stellar. quote

The Cisco Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router is the fastest router we've seen in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and will definitely make home users happy with its easy-to-use setup software. Advanced users, however, might find its desktop software ... a little disjointed.

It can run in either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless networking bands (but not both simultaneously), it has a Gigabit Ethernet switch and all the other regular features one can expect in a wireless router. ... It's a great wireless router for novice users.

It performed very well in our tests and it was rock-solid and reliable. ... The only thing that would make it better is support for simultaneous dual-band networking, but if you want that feature then you can look at the E3000 instead.

This router is great. I've only used it with DD-WRT, though. I can't speak for the stock firmware. Put DD-WRT on this thing and don't look back. Super stable, fast and can do anything you'd want it to do. Only down-side is that it isn't true dual-band. It will do 5GHz but not at the same time as...

I was originally planning to purchase the Linksys E3000 because of its ability to operate both radios simultaneously. The E2000 has two radios, but you can only use one at a time. Also, at the time of purchase, there was a serious problem with the stock firmware when used in combination with the...

Home wireless Routers are kinda a tricky thing to review. For many users they will not touch the advance web interface and will leave there WiFi unsecured. The E2000 comes with a pretty good quick setup take sets a non common name for the network, sets up guest wifi access and secures the network...

I previously had ADSL 2+ all in one D-Link modem/router and it was great for what I needed. I moved to Cable internet and the Allinone didn't play nicely with multiple devices, so I got this modem at a discounted price point on sale and it has lived up to everything I have required of it....
