Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reviewing several router options I have chosen the WRT160N as my new router, actually my main point was to use the DD-WRT firmware with it, partly following several reviews here below and from several forum. Once I received this router I tried to work with the CD provided but it had a problem to run. No problem, I had installed some routers in my life and this one didn't take more the 10min to install including wireless configurations. immediately after installation I saw that I can't upgrade my firmware as this is WRT160Nv2 and it apparently uses "Ralink" CPU and not "BROADCOM" cpu - Ralink is not supported yet in open FW due to licensing :( In addition, it appears that there is degrading in memory capacity in the versions of the routers that goes by WRT160N! V1 - 32mb V1.1 - 16mb V2 - 8mb Even more annoying, Linksys do not have a web page for any version other than for v1! Although I didn't get the actual product I thought I am buying, I started using the wireless with my laptop while my desktop was connected to one of the LAN ports, the results: 1) P2P software causes network disconnects (probably due to the fact linksys reduced the memory to 8MB only), I had to minimize the software configuration in order to stop the disconnects. 2)Signal strength is ridiculous as it doesn't cover all my apartment which is not big. - Update: I got some configuration advise from Linksys support to improve the signle: Change the Beacon Interval to 50 Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304. Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 - It increased the signal strength... I do not like this solution, as my apartment is small the defaults should have sufficed. I might return this product to Amazon and replace it with a different wireless router. Based on all other reviews, I am pretty sure that WRT160N V1 is a solid router (Good hardware & FW can be replaced) - if you order this one, make sure you don't get version 2 (at least until Linksys will have a webpage for it with new FW)
