     For the $50-$80 price range this deal can't be beat. You always read about the low price and ease of setup / interoperability of linksys wireless routers, but you don't read about the range limitations.  I did my homework and unless you want to fork out the extra cash, you are limited to about 50 ft inside of a house with a few walls.  I don't know about your needs, but I live in a modest 1660 SQ.FT house and need at least 80ft range and reliability. I took my laptop down to the end of the block and remained connected to the internet - it was like 300+ FT.  I was impressed.

       As far as ease of setup and interoperability, I am not sure what they are talking about.  I just skipped all the complicated stuff during the install - next, next, typical, choose recommended, etc. - I don't see a need for making the install any easier. Maybe they could have thrown in some pictures of a beach or something. It just had more options if you know what you're doing.  

      Interoperability?  My wife has some generic wireless built in to her laptop and she connects to the d-link router better than my laptop with linksys. I have also had company over with wireless and they have had no problems either. 

      Reliabilty? I have had this router for over a year and have only had to reboot it ONCE!  Also, the web interface allows me secured access from work so I can tell the router which PC to remote desktop to from work.


    Pros:  Price, Range, Reliability, Features, and PRICE.
