Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router (Canadian)

By (cnet.com)

The Linksys WRT160N comes in a compact, sleek design. It sports an easy-to-use Web interface and offers a good set of networking features. Its included software is very helpful for setting it up with both Macs and PCs

The Linksys WRT160N doesn't support the faster Gigabit standard for wired connection, nor does it have USB support

"great hard router, the wireless SUCKS"

By zakkhoyt (cnet.com)

If you're looking for a cheap router for wire... 

Intuitive to set up, even advanced modes and port forwarding. I had ddns BUILT IN! Small

I have two of these and both of them constantly drop the wireless connection and need to be rebooted. I have updated the latest firmware on both as well. Very very irritating when I get disconnected during games. Hardware gets extremely hot.

It is blue

This is a toy. You can not rely on this product to keeps a household network running smoothly. Every user in my house knows that to connect to the router they need to pull the plug to restart it.

Manufacturer's Description
