Cisco-Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router

My previous router was not up to the task. This router was recommended by my ISP. It came fast, was easy to set up, and has improved our Internet experience.

well is the best product i ever had no problems no signal loss i recomend this to anyone for online gaming is excellent

I bought this router last year and I have to say it is the best router I have ever purchased. Easy to install and looks real slick I like the design. Moving from NYC to Texas this bad boy still works just like the first day I took it out of the box. Cisco makes great products. Recommend this to anyone that wants to upgrade!

The item was fulfilled by Amazon but was sold by a company Comp-U-Plus Rockland. When I opened the package it was obvious that it was a refurbished unit, not a new one. The router had scratches on the top and the power cord and Ethernet cables were not tied in wire ties, they were wound around themselves. The label on the box that indicated the serial number was a sticker stuck over the original printing on the box. As an IT consultant I’ve purchase many Cisco wireless routers, so I know how they are typically packaged. It may be that Comp-U-Plus Rockland sells both new and refurbished and Amazon just shipped the wrong one. Right now if you try to buy one it says it is sold by Electronica Direct but once you add it to the cart is says it is sold by Comp-U-Plus. I’m may try to order another and see if I have better luck. I’ll update if I have more information later.**Update 07/12/201** The second one from Comp-U-Plus Rockland is definitely new. The differences: both the power cord and the Ethernet cables are tied with wire ties, no scratches and the most obvious sign is that the Ethernet ports on the router are covered with a sticker that indicate that you should run the installation CD first. I will assume that sending a refurbished model the first time was an accident.I am updating the rating to five stars because I have experience with this device and have been happy with them in the past.

I like the router it is easier to use and install than others . Price was right and performs great

I am using Tomato Firmware v1.28.7501 MIPSR2Toastman-RT K26 Std Firmware. File: tomato-E2000-NVRAM60K-1.28.7501.3MIPSR2Toastman-RT-StdFrom here: […]TomatoUSB is much better than the stock firmware. No where near as advanced as ddwrt, but all I am using this for is a 5ghz AP connected to my CenturyLink Actiontec c1000a modem/router. I have dchp and all the routing stuff off on the cisco as it just acts as a bridge as my main router handles DHCP so that all my network devices are on the same network.I am using 5ghz and getting a solid 300mbps connection link while in the same room as the router. The range is’t that good, as is all 5ghz routers..the signal goes to half or less and link speed to 150 or lower in the living room, which is right on the other side of the wall.In the same room, I am pushing a steady 20-21MB’s internal lan to wifi file transfer speed in windows 8 while copying a 1gb .mkv file from my wired gigabit server to my wifi laptop. I was only getting about 12-15MB’s on stock firmware.Using Tomato allows you to overclock the router to 480mhz(stock is 354mhz)This does cause more heat so you will need to be sure it is keep in a cool place or work out some cooling mod for it. Speak of mods, it has ports on the board to add external antennas. You can find the antenna kits for $10-20 on ebay.Works great for me! I live in a large apartment complex and the 2.4ghz band is so clogged its unusable for me. I could only get maybe 1MB’s out of 2.4ghz on a good day, no matter the channel. Having 5ghz lets me use my laptop as a laptop, and not have to be plugged into a Ethernet wire all the time….do loose some speed..but I can always plug up for large file transfers. Range isn’t as good as I had hoped, but it still is very much more usable than 2.4ghz throughout my entire single floor unit.

Great product. No complaints. Perfect for home Wi-Fi. I have never had any issues with this router. Cisco-Linksys continues to put out great products to this day.

Router works well n my home network, althought the range needs to be extended, it a good product for the price. it still works well after a couple of years.

I purchased this router for my wife’s parents two years ago to replace a bricked Netgear router. Upon setup, the software prompts you to install Cisco Connect which is okay for novice users. However as an advanced user, I recommend that if you prefer a classic web based interface, then turn on advanced settings in the Cisco Connect program.I wanted to specifically mention my recommendation of the web based interface because shortly after setting up their router, I noticed that my brother and sister in law were experiencing IP conflicts with this router. With Cisco Connect, I attempted to find a way to simply turn on DHCP reservation (so that the router will give each device a specific IP address every time each device connects to the network) and I was not able to locate this feature within the Cisco Connect Software.However, I was able to activate advanced settings within Cisco Connect which brought me to the more user friendly web based setup (192.168.1.x). Once accessed, I easily had the E2000 assign each device a specific IP address in DHCP reservation and my family has not experienced one IP conflict yet.Other than that, this is a great router. I really like how it offers gigabit and Wireless N dual band up to 300 Mbps. It’s a shame that the current lineup of Cisco Linksys routers only offer gigabit with their “Smart W-Fi” EA series routers because in my opinion the firmware offered to the EA lineup really needs more work. Please see my review on my EA4500 with respect to that topic.So if you are looking for a reliable wireless N gigabit router, order yourself this product because it will make a great replacement router for anything that you currently has.

This Linksys router was purchased to add wireless connectivity to a home. The interface was rather straightforward and setting up a secured wireless network was painless.

My first router was fried by a power surge. This unit is a duplicate. It works well without incident. I am quite happy with its performance.

Live in a three story house. everyone has high speed internet. No problems ( connects 3, sometimes 4 computers) as well as 2 printers.

This router replaced my old trusty WRT54G, which was performing adequately, but just didn’t have the speed or range. The E2000, now superceded by newer models has performed well over the past 18 months. I read many review, including those that trashed this model. Thank goodness I went with the “crowd’s” opinion and not the outliers on the downside. I am not a power user, and really haven’t touched the thing since set up.It just works. I had no setup problems, and the range is an improvement on the predecessor unit. I live in a modestly sized circa 1920’s house with thick plaster lath walls. The router is on the second floor and I get good coverage on the first floor. The only place with a weak signal is a room separated by a brick wall.All in all, I wanted to add my positive experience to the list, to insure that the aggregate of reviews accurately reflect the quality of the product.

Cisco Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless N Router is a very reliable router. It’s got this nice, cool design that I really like and it works well.

easy to install and it works perfectly… our cisco went out after 5 years so we bought the e2000 which is an step up from what we have and so far so good.

A couple times a week I have to unplug and plug back in to keep network devices talking to each other

This is a great router despite the score I given. It lasted only for 3 years, before the blinking blue light, but in those 3 years, it worked great. I had signal all over the place, even outside. If it had lasted one more year or 2 more years then maybe I would of given it 5 stars, but yeah, RIP e2000, you did me wonders.

This was a used item, but arrived in good shape and I have had no trouble at all since I got it a month ago. It was easy to setup and my computer recognized it right away. I feel like the internet speed is very adequate. Does the job!

I bought this router to replace an aging WRT54G Linksys, it gives a great signal is easy to setup and configure.

It was an excellent decision to buy.. Work fine!

Excellent transaction – Highly recommend.

no problems

This has been a solid router for over two years now. The only thing I wish it could do is transmit on both bands at the same time.

Nice router. No complains at all. Allows you to install jumbo version of ddwrt. Few years working with no issues

Great
