fantastic, solid performance
purchased this router after continued problems with my netgear which needed reset about 4 times a day especially when streaming or downloading.
this router has been solid, not a single reset since it was installed.
installation was very easy with a simple walkthrough from teh install CD/software
i have xbox (wired), Wii, 2 laptops and phones all set up and have not had a single issue.
deffinitely recommended.
Very fast but not without problems
I bought this as a replacement for a Netgear wirless router which was reliable but rather slow. The e2000 is fast in comparison and is one of the fastest routers available for home / small office use. When I got it up and running there was at least a 50% increase in speed with the e2000.
However, the e2000 is not as easy to set up as the Netgear. I recommend that you do not install the software that comes it with, but configure the router via the web interface. That said, I found this interface unintuitive to use and missing certain expected features such as the ability to show what devices are currently connected.
The basic set up was simple enough, but I found that I had and still have problems with this unit that I did not have with the Netgear. These are the problems on the e2000 that I encountered:
1) Sometimes a client cannot obtain an ip address from the router after connecting wirelessly, and thus is not able to get access to the Internet...

I purchased this router after returning an unsatisfactory Netgear router, which frequently failed to connect, or dropped out. It was simplicity itself to set up, the only thing I had to do was to change the password. (The Netgear set-up involved much more work, probably not helped by the unit being faulty. To their credit, the Netgear technical boys did their best to sort out the problem, but they failed after three telephone calls lasting a total of almost two hours.)
I would purchase from Linksys again, largely due to the uncomplicated set-up, given that I am not a computer buff.
