Linksys EtherFast® BEFSR41 Router

Pros: Supports PPPoE without dialer software. Web browser setup interface.
Cons: Instructions may not apply to all DSL or cable modems.

I took it out of the box, plugged everything in and it worked. Thank you, good night, and drive safely. Oh, sorry, you wanted a few details, didn't you? For a household like ours (darling wife has an iMac, dear hubby has a PC), the Linksys ...

Pros: Small and does the basics
Cons: Can be confusing for beginners

I have been using a Linksys BEFSR41 router for about 4 years. I have used the router for home use, and has been reliable. This model is hardwired ( not wireless ). I've noticed many negative reviews of this model; perhaps it was designed without ...

Pros: Simple setup, highly configurable
Cons: Slow processor, can't handle heavy wan traffic

This is my third review of a broadband router. Because I've been on a mission to find a fast inexpensive router that can handle my internet usage. The linksys isn't it.

I host two servers on my home network to a 768k DSL connection. One a...

Pros: SHARE INTERNET WITH NO SPEED LOSS
Cons: none yet.

If you have more than one computer in your home or office, and you pay the price for high speed, then you need to share the wealth. There are a couple of ways to do this, but in my opinion the fastest and most secure way is with a wired router. A router ...

Pros: Share your DSL or Cable connection, Enhance Security, Eliminate PPPoE Protocol/Drivers
Cons: Seems to get "hung" at times

I wanted to share my DSL (later Cable Modem) with another PC in my home - and this little box is what did it for me.

Unfortunately, I bought it when they cost $100 instead of the current ~$60 price, but oh well - nature of the industry.
...

Pros: Easy setup, great instructions, reliable quality
Cons: None that I've found

I received my Linksys 4-port Cable Router from buy.com and had the home network up and running by early evening. Cable modem access shared, printer shared, kids playing multiplayer games over TCP/IP.

Setup was painless and quick. I'm giving...

Pros: Easy to configure and install. Very functional.
Cons: Has a tendency to stop working.

The Linksys BEFSR41 is a 4 port switch/router/NAT. What does that all mean for you? It means that it will connect to your broadband connection directly and be the only exposed computer to the Internet and allow for the 4 other computers ...

Pros: Cheap, effective, and incredibly easy to set up.
Cons: None seen.

This won't be a particularly technical review because if you're reading this, you probably already are familiar with what a router does and how it works. I only have one computer at home but, still, I chose to install this router. Why? Because a ...

Pros: Easy setup
Cons: Tech Support not worth you know what

Well My sister recently got a new computer and wanted me to hook it up to the house high speed connection, the only problem was the high speed connection line was on the top floor and her computer was in the basement a few floors down. So I bought her ...

Pros: Provides a firewall and a fast switch. A no brainer to install.
Cons: None

I opened the box, installed and connected the unit between my computer and my cable modem, turned the power on. I rebooted the computer and I had internet access. It was that easy. The BEFSR41 is already configured to act as a DHCP client on the modem...

Pros: Smart and User Friendly
Cons: Absolutely None for Me!

I have used this Linksys router for over 9 months now with zero problems. I am normally one that has zero tolerance for failures :) so if there were any on this end you would hear em!

The setup was plain nothin! Couldn't be easier unless it...

Pros: easy setup
Cons: frequent disconnects

I upgraded from dial up to broadband. In part this decision was made because I wanted to get xbox live. I went out and bought this router. Ever since I've had it I have had conectivity problems. Called Cox a few times and had a couple data techs come ...

Pros: Relatively cheap, pretty easy to use.
Cons: Lacks features, tends to be buggy.

This is the first router I ever had and I replaced it after trying several others. I managed a team of technicians for a while who agreed that other units are far superior. Notably, the SMC products.

Installation is pretty easy. Just plug...

Pros: Quality, Robustness, ease of Use, Simple user interface, Firewall protection
Cons: Only 4 Ports, lack of Cisco Quality customizations, too cheaply priced

All you may ever need in a home network environment so long as you need only 4 ports. Uplink and Wan connections are a boon, and online updates have completed this product into a finely tuned piece of hardware with few if any glitches. Compare with ...

Pros: none
Cons: drops connection, bad performance, buggy software

i'm a IT professional, my home network is more complicated than most of my friends. i have multiple computers, laptops and game console. all of them are connected through ethernet. also i'm running a web server on of the computer and play tons of games. ...
