Linksys WAG160N review

By Roger Gann

With its latest range of routers, the Linksys design department appears to have thrown away the rule book.

The Linksys WAG160N is a good-looking and easy to configure router, but you pay a price premium for this convenience. Given that the result is only so-so draft-n performance, we'd look elsewhere.

Linksys WAG160N

By Johnathan Bray

Award: Recommended!

Fast performance, slick design and excellent software, all at the right price

Like Belkin this month, Linksys has bucked the beige box trend: this router looks more like a flying saucer than a piece of networking equipment. There's a distinct lack of external aerials €" two 2dBi gain aerials are built into the chassis €" which ...

Linksys WAG160N

By Cliff Joseph

When you add a wireless-n router to your Internet setup, you'll gain the benefit of fast wireless Internet: but how can you be certain a wireless-n router will work on your Mac.

These were Apple's AirPort Extreme, Belkin's N1 Vision, and the Linksys WAG160N - all of which provide the ease of use that is so important to Mac users. Sometimes these web pages include some sort of 'wizard' to provide a bit of help - as is the...

Linksys WAG160N

By Elias Plastiras

THIS all-in-one ADSL2+ router is stylish and proved to be reliable in our tests, albeit a little slow.

Quick and easy to use Web interface, QoS, good range of filtering options, LELA is useful

Slightly slow wireless speed

This all-in-one ADSL2+ router is stylish, and it also proved to be reliable in our tests, albeit a little slow. If you shop around, you should be able to find it for $130-$150, which makes it great value.

In our wireless tests, the WAG160N delivered an average throughput of 5.09MBps (megabytes per second) to our 802.11n-equipped laptop using a Linksys 300N version 2 notebook adapter. This speed was about 1.2MBps slower than we expected (the Linksys...

Linksys WAG160N Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway Review - Routers

By Alex Kidman

linksys wag160n wireless-n adsl2+ gateway review: Linksys' WAG160N resides in an attractive package, and manages better than most Wireless N routers. Better than most, but still nowhere near the hype.

Decent throughput, Stylish design, LELA for Windows

No gigabit ethernet, Wireless N refuses to live up to the hype -- again!

Review: Linksys WAG160N Draft N router

By Will Stapley

A stylish exterior, but the interface needs a refresh

Previous Linksys routers weren't the most aesthetically pleasing, but this new model is something you'll want to have out on display.

Using the supplied software, installation is painless, we had it up and running in a matter of minutes. Linksys has done a great job with the design of this router - it's just a shame the same amount of effort hasn't been put into the interface...

Review: Linksys WAG160N Draft N router

By Will Stapley

A stylish exterior, but the interface needs a refresh

Stylish and compact design ; easy to install ; price

No Gigabit switch ; interface could be better

No Gigabit Lan and the interface could be better, but at this price it's a decent entry-level Draft N router
