Linksys X2000 Wireless N Router Adsl2 Review

2013-10-23 55

At the time of writing this review, I have been using the router for approximately two weeks. In summary, the X2000 router is a great piece of equipment for homeowners with DSL or cable internet. I personally have been using AT&T DSL for about two years now. I live in a rural area where AT&T DSL is the only reasonably priced broadband internet available. I fought and fought with my old DSL modem (a Siemens 4100) as it would drop the connection a couple of times a day, necessitating a manual reset of the modem. I lived with this thinking that the cause of the connection dropping was my rural location my speed tests showed quite a bit of latency and other indicators that my connection with the DSL switch was subpar. My connection was also very slow rarely would I see download speeds in excess of 50KBps per second and typical download speeds were about 30KBps. Again, I lived with this because AT&T DSL is the only broadband service available in my area that doesnt cost $100 per month or better. "Living with my problems" was quite silly this simple upgrade costing less than $100 has fixed most of my problems. After one particularly bad day where I had to reset my modem six times in the period of about two hours, I broke down and bought this router from one of my local electronics stores. Install was a breeze it took approximately fifteen minutes from unpacking to surfing the internet. Simply insert the provided CD into your wifi enabled laptop and follow the onscreen instructions. Youll need your AT&T user name and password (this is not the 6 character AT&T network password!). Upon entering your AT&T user name and password, the router will ask you for a WiFi password and reset itself. Upon powering the router back up, you will be connected to the internet. Its really that easy. As usual, there are also a lot of network customization options available under the hood of this linksys router. Ive been using linksys for about 10 years, and was very happy to see that despi
