Linksys WRT150N Wireless N Home Router with 4-Port Switch Mimo

Product Description

The linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Router lets you share a high-speed Internet connection and reach large areas of the home or office. The Home Router uses MIMO radio technology with multiple radios to create a robust signal that travels up to 3 times farther than Wireless-G. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to reduce dead spots in the wireless coverage area. With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. Delivering faster speeds at up to 9 times faster and 3 times the range of Wireless-G. Wireless-N is the next generation of wireless with advanced radio technology that increases speed with coverage & virtually eliminates dead spots.

I am pleased with the quality,and price of the router. It has expanded the wireless signal in my house and has worked flawlessly.


I've owned other linksys products before the 150N, and I have always been satisfied, that is, until i purchased this unit sometime ago. This router gave me so much trouble that it ended up being used just as a 4 port switch ; the customer service knew absolutely nothing, and just infuriated me with trivial step by step procedures that ultimately wasted my time. More annoyingly, because I had faith in linksys products, I stuck with it - just to be disappointed in linksys and myself. The router has significant software/hardware flaws, and I would only recommend it to people who want stupid antennas while they're attached by a wire to a "wireless" router! linksys sure isn't what it used to be.


Its a dream come true!! Delivery was quick. I've had a maybe 2-3 Linksys routers and i never had a problem with any of them. This one i decided to change to a custom Firmware and it works great!!
Thanks!!


This router has caused me much trouble and, as of tomorrow, it goes into the trash. I also wish to thank linksys personally for their poor technical support and for the audacity that they have in asking for money so that they could give me technical support on the product that did not work well from the outset. The cost of the tech support would be $39.99 and I can go out and purchase a new router for just a little more.
I got a different encryption key after I had to reset the model, and after this happened the router did not work with any of my other devices. The techies were pointing fingers at my pc. Enough said. Please do not purchase this and I would be wary of purchasing anything made by this company. In these troubled economic times, here yet is one more company after the dollar.


I received this from Linksys after my WRT54G and a reman replacement both failed. I must admit the tech people were very patient in helping me isolate the dropped connections to a hardware problem with the router on the two failed units. The new WRT150N worked fine and was easy to set up and got me connected to the Internet and my external network drive on the first shot, but it had a very weak wireless signal, even with the laptop right on the same desk. Since my wireless stuff is all wireless G, I tried locking it into wireless G only instead of auto, and bada bing bada boom! So the unit is now working fine, with a strong signal on all floors of the house, but I can't say how it would work on mixed mode or wireless N.


For my first experience with wi-fi to go with my new laptop, I chose a Linksys N router WRT150N from Wal-Mart for $79. Easy setup but was disappointed in the range and reliability of the signal. Even two feet away the wireless signal was not often available and I had to go with a wired connection. I even changed my cordless phones to the new DECT 6.0 technology to eliminate that potential interference but signal wasn't any better.
Frustrated, I bought a Belkin N router F5D8233-4 for $59 from Amazon. Unit arrived with a burned out front panel lamp and had a security password placed on it (supposed to come out of the box unsecured) A call to Belkin support quickly removed the password and security and Amazon exchanged the unit free of charge for one with a working panel lamp. I love this unit. The Belkin signal is always there and very reliable. Not sure range is any different but a reliable signal was my first priority and I now have it. Nicer looking than the Linksys also. Belkin was cheaper and better.



This has been one of the easiest routers to set up and work with. My issue with it is its signal output. Regardless of playing with the built in antenna (big problem for this little router--yep...not removable), I can't get signal to the other side of the house.
The house I have is an old colonial (135 yrs old)--brick and plaster, lots of doors and hallways, three floors. Access point is on one side of the house and cannot be moved. I can get the signal to travel vertically down 2 floors, but cannot get it to travel 30 feet to the front of the house on the same floor. Something to keep in mind if you are planning out your network. It may be better to have a router with removable antennae or else create relays by reconfiguring routers.
But don't get me wrong, this device does work well. Easy setup. No problems if you want to configure game traffic to specific ports and setup gaming servers. I just wish the antennae were removable so I could put a booster on.


I have been a Linksys user for several years. I had a G router with remote hi-gain antennas prior to this router. I was happy with that setup but the router was getting old and starting to act up a bit. So I decided to upgrade to this N router and N adapter for my HP notebook.

Well the old G did not act up near as much as this router does... I have to reboot this thing almost daily. It either will not connect (set IP address) or the speed is all over the board... starting out at 270 Mbps and will drop to 1 Mbps, float around 1 and 50 but never re-establish itself completely.

I have tried running it with no encryption, WPA2 personal, WEP... nothing seems to impact its reliability one way or the other. It has the latest firmware...

I am truly disgusted with the Linksys product.

Update - 10/19/08 - well once I tried many different frequencies, I finally found one that has very little interference from surrounding wireless phones, etc. The signal has become stable and I do not lose connection like I did. With that said, I am still disappointed in the range of this draft-N product (compared to what I had before) but now that the signal has stabilized, I am satisfied enough to not throw it out the window (how's that for a product satisfaction statement?).


I like this product a lot. My kids are using their DS Lites with it and enjoy having competition around the world. I have a MAC and enjoy using it. Will b adding more to my network.


I was very nervous to buy and set up this wireless router myself because of all the horror stories about routers in general and how they can be difficult to set up. Set up was a breeze! I did have a problem with my wireless connectivity but that was because my internet service provider (ISP) set up my modem wrong. After calling my ISP three times to get my internet working properly and getting no results I thought maybe linksys could help me out. I must say that the customer service was amazing! They took my call immediately and very professionally took me step by step to figure out what the problem was. Essentially they diagnosed and solved the problem and it had nothing to do with their product! Turns out my ISP hooked up both my ethernet and USB cords to my computer and the software for my ethernet wasn't properly installed. You just don't find customer service reps who diagnose and try to solve problems that don't relate to thier product specifically anymore. Since it's been up and running I've had flawless wireless connectivity and kickin back with my XBox Live and PSP. The signal reaches all over the house and givin the size of the house it's very impressive! Highly recommend this product!
