What's your experience with modem/routers from Linksys by Cisco?

they are not too bad when it comes to a modem/ router combo (at least compared to the crap that the ISP will give you)

but if you need just a router, then you can do a lot better than linksys for the money.

The latest routers from linksys have had poor specs at a high price, especially compared to other brands such as netgear.

(linksys will often give you a slower CPU, less RAM, significantly less flash storage, and a really locked down firmware where it is currently nearly impossible to port a 3rd party firmware over to it (without almost completely rewriting the firmware)

overall, avoid linksys until they improve their routers.

Well I have not had any experiences with the modem and router combos. I have always rented the modem from the ISP and bought my own router.

With that said Linksys is the only brand I allow in my house and the only brand I recommend for routers. Yes they are more expensive but I feel you are getting a quality product out of it.

I disagree with Razor512. But to address the locked down not being able to rewrite the firmware issue: yes you can still rewrite firmware on some of their models, but not all, this has not changed. and to be honest, why do you need a super fast CPU or more ram for a home router? To me that seems sort of pointless. Perhaps if you have 20 devices hooked up to it then that might be a concern, but at that point you are most likely not buying a consumer grade router.

So you know where I stand, I only support Linksys, call me a fan boy on this matter, that is fine, I do feel they offer a quality product.

On the other hand other companies make great products but as for me, it is only Linksys.

So for a router-modem combo unit made by Linksys I would have to support it.
