Linksys WCG200 Router

Pros: great silent workhorse, works very well with IP Phone service from either sunrocket (verified)

Cons: all in one unit.. tried looking for firmware updates but couldnt.

Review: I been using the WCG200 for about 2years now and it has worked flawlessly. Few weeks back I switched to sunrocket phone service whose device connects to the router. The phone service also has been working flawlessly so far. I really have no complaints.. ...

Pros: Highly satisfied and will continue to recommend.

Cons: None. I have not seen any WAN drops as others have claimed.

Review: The WCG200s that are shipping now have updated firmware that has improved performance and reliability. I do not agree with others' negative comments as to WAN drops, as we do not see that at ...

Pros: When it works I am wire free in my living room

Cons: Always breaking so I am still tripping over wires

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this product it might not work and you might just waste your money

Review: My boyfriend and I purchased the Linksys WCG200 wireless Router about a year ago. We purchased it to cut back on the number of wires going across our living room floor. It was great for a while but then we started having problems. It started as a little ...

Pros: ease of use, convenient

Cons: lousy technical service

The Bottom Line: A decent product in terms of price/performance. The technical service does not live up to my expectations

Review: The modem is OK. Fairly easy to configure through the web based interface. We bought it to avoid having the two separate boxes for the modem and router. The wireless connection works fine. We have WEP security, which you have to set up. But the ...

Pros: Long Range, Easy Setup, User Friendly

Cons: WAN disconnects often, slow transfer rate for the new standard in wireless

Review: This router is good for the low end computer noob. If my grandmother wanted wireless internet access then this is the one I would get her. It is easy to use and setup. It has incredible range as well. Yet if you are college student, a gamer, or anyone ...

Pros: All in one is nice concept

Cons: Would be nice if is had faster wireless (Speedbooster)

The Bottom Line: Initial unit was defective. Dropped connection constantly. Mfgr sent replacement. REPLACEMENT DROPS CONNECTION ALSO. STAY AWAY!!!! PIECE OF CRAP!

Review: I have had my WCG200 v.2 for about 2 months. About a month ago, I noticed that my connection was CONSTANTLY dropping. This is a REAL pain when you have Vonage and your phones are going down all the time. Sometimes I would stay connected for most of the ...

Pros: All-in-one unit with easy setup which, in theory, promises an uncluttered home solution.

Cons: Poor cable connection (WAN) reliability requiring manual resets. Settings spontaneously reset.

The Bottom Line: I would avoid this unit because of its pathetic cable modem connection reliability and inability to correctly reconnect without a power cycle.

Review: DISCLAIMER: I'm not against all-in-one solutions and for many home users a wireless cable-modem gateway with a default-on firewall/router and WAP WiFi support may be the perfect choice on a tight budget. However, I would avoid the Linksys WCG200 -- if ...

Pros: Relatively Inexpensive, Eliminates Wire Clutter

Cons: Dropouts, Stalls, Loses Settings, Difficult to Configure Wireless Security, Cannot Return for Refund

The Bottom Line: Do not recommend purchasing WCG200 or Linksys; reliability questionable and no firmware or support options available other than simple exchange. Recommend separate cable modem and wireless router instead, preferably non-Linksys.

Review: I purchased this product one year ago. Since that time I've experienced adequate performance from the WCG200 with a 5Mbps connection from Time-Warner Cable in North Carolina but there is still some significant downside to this product. First, the ...

Pros: Easy install, and easy configuration.

Cons: Will not maintain a connection to the internet and constantly needs restarting.

Review: I purchased my WCG200 in the summer of 2007 with the intention of having an easy solution to my home networking needs. I chose the Linksys wireless router because of my past experience and satisfaction with their products. The installation was very easy ...

Pros: none

Cons: bad cable modem. bad wireless router.

Review: Replacing my old surfboard modem and linksys wireless b router with one device seemed like a good idea. I made the mistake of not checking reviews here or on Amazon, based on previous good luck with linksys devices. The modem constantly drops ...
