    This router is terrible. I constantly have to get my devices to re-associate with it making work unproductive. I do not recommend this router.

    I bought this few months back and having terrible time. I have to power it down after every freaking day as some of my laptops in house have DHCP issues almost every day.. no option but to power down. Another peculiar issue is that I have Blu Ray Home Theater (Panasonic) player with Wireless rear speakers. Each time I turn it ON, my router wireless link goes for a toss. I have to resort to power reboot options with linksys router when ever this happens. This is darn annoying.. I am still to setup Storage sharing as it turns out..it is rocket science.. All in all.. Stay away from this if you need your piece of mind ..

    lost 90% of my bandwidth with this router. if i played with it i could get 2 mbs when i have a 10 mbs service. from the wall to my comp i get 10 mbs, even hard wired to this router the best i got was 2 mbs. the idiots at tech support wouldnt help me because i am in the military and i am stationed in korea, they told me i had to call korean tech support. i hate linksys and they will never get my buisness again. i bought d-link router and i am getting 10mbs over wireless with it.

    I bought this router about a month ago to replace a Netgear N wireless router that had constant signal problems. Since my first wireless router, a G router, was a Linksys, I decided to again use a Linksys wireless router. My reason for choosing the 160NL was for the DataLink feature, which I thought would be helpful. Otherwise, I would have gone for the 160N and saved a few dollars. The main goal for this router was to give me the ability to attach an external drive to the router and remotely back up the other two computers on my home network.

    Pros: The setup was very easy and the signal is great. No more complains from the others in the house about the internet signal being dropped. I also put my MFP on the network and it both attached and worked flawlessly. Grand!!

    Cons: The DataLink feature does NOT work. To make matters worse, Linksys is very coy about not publicizing the fact that this link only works with 22 types of drives – and must be formatted for FAT-32. This item as sold as Upnp-enabled. What gives? Looks like they took the Universal out of pnp. Also – this is the second quarter of 2010. Why only compatible with FAT-32? This is my second computer with NTFS. I’ve had NTFS on my computers since 2002. Linksys – you’re way behind times. Catch up!! Time to update your firmware.

    Had it not been for the problems with the DataLink feature, I would have easily given this unit 5 stars. However, under the circumstances, this is impossible.
