Nice spec. Lousy implementation.

I just can't recommend this router to anyone at the moment, esp. with some fundamental problems below:
1. DHCP - If you have a dedicated DHCP server somewhere on the network, then forget about this router. The darn thing would still assign IPs even if you disable the DHCP function. It'd also send DHCPNACK with DHCP diabled.
2. DHCP again - If you assign a DHCP range and assign them as static entries. It'd still assign those IPs to other machines.
3. DDNS - Obviously the router doesn't keep track of the WAN IP changes and if you save the configuration a few times, it'd try to update the IP on the dynamic DNS server multiple times, causing the custom domain to be banned.
4. Tech support - Not exactly the router's problem but if you have a support person who'd recommend connecting a cable modem to the LAN port to get around the DHCP problem, you're just not going to trust their tech support anymore.

Garbage Time. Go for 610n or D-Link If you need it

I've gone through two of them. The first one had the dreaded "setup timeout" problem which numerous other people have reported on the Linksys forums where neither IE or FF will allow you to login and go through the setup without significant timeouts. Next one I had wouldn't connect via the wireless, even with an hour and change worth of time with Linksys. They finally offered to ship me one directly from their warehouse. Told them forget it. This has now been replaced with the 610N model (after just a few months) which has more RAM. If you're worried about the lack of antennas on the 610N don't be - you weren't getting much from the NONREPLACEABLE antennas on the 600N. What junk and "style over substance" that Linksys is going with now. I even looked at D-Link but their dual N gigabit router is going for a lot more money for now, if you can find it. But it DOES have 3 replaceable antennas. If you need/want dual radios, the 610N is the cheapest route to go at present. But don't buy this  more

Linksys WRT600N - Worth every penny!

I upgraded from a D-link di-524 to the Linksys WRT600N, and am 100% glad I did so. I was hesitant due to the issues I had getting all my Tivos, and gaming systems on the D-link router.

The Linksys router was a breeze to set up, and I had all my PCs, 3 Tivos, PS3, X-box 360, and Wii connected within an hour.

I purchased a MyBook 1TB, and plugged it into the back USB port, and had it up and running in just a short while. The instructions don't specify that you have to add users via the web-interface, to allow people to access that hard drive. Once I figured that out, I was golden.

My 5Ghz network gets 270mbps wirelessly. The 2.4Ghz network gets roughly 130mbps. Still 80mbps faster than G (54mbps). Wired, I get the full gigabit. If only my internet connection was that fast.

The router performs exactly how I want a router of this price to. My only dissatisfaction thus far is that the software they provide you to configure your PC to connect, isn't 64-bit compatible. Some warning on  more
