Eaton, I would say that the E4200 router provides a tight connection, about the same throughput as the NETGEAR 450 Mbps Wireless-N750 Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4000 (even a 450 Mbps router), simple configuration using `Cisco Connect 'and the lack of LEDs on the front of the router really helps with light pollution on the desktop. Benefits: * Supports 3-stream (450 Mbps) at 5 GHz band. The tested transfer rate of 5-GHz band was 129 Mbps and 148 Mbps to the bottom (laptop with Intel 6300 wireless card on a server with a cable connection). Over 15% faster than my old router WNDR3700, but I was for a 50% increase (300 Mbps -> 450 Mbps) hope. * Simply use the Cisco `Connect 'application setup. The application will guide you in setting up the wireless security, parental control, and guest networks. * No router connection problems with my PS3, Windows Home Server, volcanic islands and the iPhone: * Only two data streams (300 Mbps) in the 24 GHz performance tested at 2.4 GHz, 60 Mbps and 70 Mbps down * No additional functions, such ex. by WDS repeating / * WNDR4000 bridge has a greater parental control features Summary: Having WNDR4000 E4200 and E4200 is about the same throughput as WNDR4000 (134 Mbps and 140 Mbps down on the 5 GHz band). The difference between the two is about functionality. The E4200 has a configuration program that allows a novice to configure the router with ease. The WNDR4000 offers more useful features such as WDS and repeat traffic meters. As regards the status of the router, I can not really comment on it because they live in a small apartment. Some additional background information: One of the things I think is missing in the router table "comparison" is the CPU speed. The processor speed will give you an idea of ​​the performance of the router. So here is what I found on the Internet E1200 - 300 MHz with 32 MB RAM and 4 MB Flash-E1500 - 300 MHz with 32 MB RAM and 8 MB Flash-E2500 - 300 MHz with 64 MB RAM and 8 MB Flash-E3000 - 480 MHz with 64 MB RAM and 8 MB Flash-E4200 - 480 MHz CPU with 64MB RAM and 16MB Flash 113 107 people found this review helpful. Great router with robust functionality, although the signal from 5-GHz band and the unpredictable speed of Jennifer Ray (updated 20/06/11 Revue adding details of the 1.0.02 firmware and support for USB printer to the router E4200 . Please note that the end of the revision of this update.) I network my home long before Wi-Fi routers are still available (or affordable) for home users via Ethernet to the time and motion, as soon as wireless as soon as it was available for private use. Over the years I've almost always Linksys router, and the few times I've tried other brands used, I was soon tired and turned back to Linksys. I will not say I've always had great experiences with this manufacturer, but my general experience with them is well enough to position Linksys as a name I trust when I saw the set of features for the new Cisco-Linksys Router , E4200, I was more than intrigued, especially by the dual-band functionality and the potential speed of bragging. It turns out, only one of the wireless adapters I already have supported the 5 GHz band, and it was the internal NIC on one of my computers. To fully test the Linksys E4200, I bought a Cisco Linksys Wireless-N High Performance AE1000 adapter attached to each of my computers to test with the new router. The dual-band mode by default use the same SSID for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band. This makes a wireless adapter to seamlessly connect to any of those bands that you may or may not help if you want certain wireless devices to connect to the 5 GHz band, which is potentially faster. Fortunately, you can manually the name of two wireless bands with different SSID and connect devices that support
