Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Broaband Router

Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Broaband Router

The Wireless-N WRT150N Home Router is three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The Access Point built into the Router uses the Wireless-N (draft 802.11n) technology. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate.

Good Product for the price, 07/23/2008
By morpheusmoman, VT
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I bought the router because I needed one to connect to xbox live with my linksys wireless ethernet bridge and to connect with my wireless G laptop. Being that my bridge was a linksys product it made the most sense to buy a linksys router. The wireless-N "push button" to connect the router and device was worthless. I was however (after some effort mainly due to my bridge and not the router) able to connect to it with my xBox 360. I get great connection speeds even with other computers accessing the internet. A change in internet speed is never due to a router unless it delivers information to its users at a connection slower than the internet connection. With this product that is not the case. Sometimes my xBox live is unable to connect, but I think this is due to slow cable internet speeds and not the router for the reason above. My computer with Wireless 802.11g connects to the router with extreme ease. For those people who are having issues with telephone interference they should change their signal to broadcast only b or g or n depending on what they need to avoid that. It should never be an issue unless your phone is using 802.11 a/b/g/n. I have several wireless telephones and never experience a problem with them. The router doesn't slow the internet connection and I never have issues with it not releasing the ISP given IP address (in other words I haven't needed to reset the router or modem).
My advice to anyone who is looking for a good quality router who has wireless N devices or is planning on getting them is to buy this router. If you only have wireless G devices you might as well buy a cheaper product because you won't be taking advantage of the Wireless N benefits. Good Luck!

I bought this WRT150N router to replace my WRT54GS. Big mistake. If you are really lucky you might get a wireless signal out to 10 feet. Do not waste your money. This Router is going back.

I purchased this router and spent 3 hrs trying to get it to connect and hold the connection. It would connect and then drop. Sadly it would drop both my wired desktop and my wireless laptop. Linksys's technician tried everything he could think of but no luck. He finally disclosed that they were having issues with this router. Don't buy this router!!!

EXCELLENT ROUTER, 06/15/2008

I use this product with a MacBook laptop. Even though it does not mention Mac in the system requirements, this router worked right from the get-go without having to use the included installation disk as you would hav to with Microsoft systems. It is fast and reliable. Highly recommended for mac users. It wont work with the XUBUNTU system which is LINUX though.

Very Easy To Use, 05/22/2008
By aftershock79
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Well let me say, this was very easy for me to use, I didnt use the cd because I have delt with routers before and know what I am doing by manually configuring everything. This router has all the functionality you need and more for a home user. I would recommend this for anybody, plus the price is good. To all that say that there laptop still runs slow or cant connect, that just might mean you need the Wireless-N adapter to use the full functionality of this router plus some old laptops might have an outdated wireless card that has 802.11 a or 802.11b this router requires I believe 802.11b - 802.11g or 802.11n. if you only have a 802.11a you need to upgrade in order to connect. The signal on this router is by far the best that I have ever had. I can go all the way to the basement and my router is located on the 2nd floor of my house and still get full bars. I recommend buying this over the Wireless G which I had previous to this router.

Love it, 05/05/2008
By Ambur, Columbus, Nebraska
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Despite the previous reviews on this product I thought I was going to be getting a very bad piece of equipment.
But in fact it was much better than I could have expected
It took me 20 mins to hook this up to 3 of my computers.
2 which are wireless and one which is connected through ethernet.

The 20 mins also included me setting up my security settings. It was very easy to set up so that no one could use my connection without the password.

I am very glad I bought this product!!

Also the connection I am getting is great!
No problems! No complaints!

When i first saw this i thought it would not be good but i WAS REALLY wrong. This linksys is worth the money its faster and really easy to set up and my xbox live is faster then ever! If your going to pick from The G model OR the N model pick the N Its WAYWAYWAY faster and has a futher signal distance.ANY way if u want xbox live wirelessly or want to use your ipod touch u must buy this.

Router constantly loses internet connection Apparently from interference by cordless phones.I replaced my own phone and that helped but I can't do anything about the neighbors phones.This router might be OK in a rural setting.
The only function that works on the setup window is setup.Cannot use any of the other features such as security setting changes.

Useless Wireless Functions and Xbox Live Connect, 03/29/2008
By Infiltr8z
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

If anyone out there wants to use this product to connect wirelessly, which I would assume you would, you will be extremely frustrated with trying to get this product to connect wirelessly to anything. If you do not use your router for a long period of time (2-3 months), expect the WRT150N to loose its wireless settings and expect to reconfigure it many times. Also, if you own an xbox 360 connected wirelessly to the internet via a wireless adapter, expect to manually enter in all of the DNS settings, IP addresses, and MAC settings etc. If this product were worth $20, I still would not buy it.

Horrid interface, 03/25/2008
By CompController
Overall Rating: 2 out of 5 2 out of 5

Other than the material quality of this product, it's completely horrible.
It seemed to find my desktop okay (network cable attached), but it caused my DSL to run incredibly slow. Not only that, but when I tried to "Add another computer", the included program had me connect to the Linksys website, and then said that THEIR VERY OWN PRODUCT was not compatible....lol.
Once I downloaded the patch for the out-of-date files located on the provided CD that the item came with, I was able to get the linksys website to recognize their router. Then, it was unable to sync the wireless signal from my additional laptop to the network.
I guess it's my fault, as I should have read the other negative reviews.
This product is definately not worth your time... Even for other fellow computer/network saavy individuals.

I live out in the country and I do not often get to the nearest big shopping center. I bought this product online and it was delivered rather quickly to me. I had dial up internet before and it would take 30 minutes to load web page. I now have a sattelite connection to the internet and two pc's. This product was easy to install, the time it took was no more then 10 min. I networked both pc's so I have internet on the one pc that did not have internet. No problems with speed on the one pc that is connected to the router, the web page loads fast (est. 3-5 seconds). I recommend this product.

This is the easiest router I have ever worked with. It pretty much installs itself with a few on screen prompts. I am having a little problem finding a wireless adapter that I want to accompany it for the upstairs computer.

I spent most of my night and some of my morning trying to get this thing to work right. It is now back in the box waiting to be returned. Had it working for a while but internet was drastically slower then with my cheap $35 Belkin router. Definetly didnt meet the expectations I had after reading the reviews.

After reading many reviews and searching the internet for easy set-up, fast connection, and value I purchased this from my local walmart. I am not a computer person but enjoy surfing the internet now and then.
I followed the directions and after about 30 min I had this all set-up for my laptop (which I recently purchased from walmart also.) VERY easy. Even adding on an additional desk top was easy.
It works great. I can now move my laptop around the house and even onto my back porch. I love it.

With a rare connection it has a slow connection even with a high-speed cable. Help for product information was also a poor. I will not be looking at a Linksys for a new wireless router.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Purchased in store. Brought home and installed. Software was resonably easy. Software hung a bit after final installation but rebooted desktop and all was fine. Using XP on desktop and using Acer laptop 5315 with Vista basic that was a Walmart Secret Sale Item the first week in November. Router is wireless N and laptop is wireless G.
In kitchen getting upper 80's and low 90's signal strength going through 2 interior walls and refridge all in line of sight perfectly. Laptop is 30 ft. from router. Picked up the laptop and moved slightly still 30ft. away going only through one interior wall this time and getting 98-100%.
Can reach another house in line of sight of router from about 200ft. away going through one exterior wall, a couple of fairly dense leyland cypress trees, possiblly deck railings in the way and the window I sit. The trees are not helping any. Getting signal strenght of mostly upper 20's low 30's with drops frequently. Picked up the laptop to about 6ft from the floor to help line of sight and to see if the obsructions were valid and immediatley got about 10 more points. If the obstructions (trees and deck railings) were not there I feel confident it could pull in the 50's with no problems at all with no drops.
