I purchased this router since it was identical to my existing one which has worked satisfactorily for years. I needed it to form a second network for a work project, and, since it is an older model, it was for sale at an excellent price.

This Linksys product is old technology. It can only handle internet speeds up to 100 Mbps. Most internet service providers put out 200 Mbps. Consequently, your internet speed is slow. The same. thing goes for the Linksys E1200 and the LInksys E3000. They can only handle speeds up to 100 Mbps. Thess Linksys routers came out in 2010 and worked great. However, they can not provide the greater internet speeds that are available from your ISP. An excellent replacement is the Linksys MR7350 Mesh Router.

the E1000 is a very decent router for it's price range. Though it's considered by most as a low-end router (often sold in stores really cheap as refirbished), it has good range, produces low heat (rare for this particular design due to the case not having much room inside), and solid throughput rates. It is capable of some editions of 3rd party firmwares (Tomato, DD-WRT) which add features such as VPN, repeater mode, wireless/lan bridges, and multiple SSID's, however, some of the added features are limited by the routers CPU and amount of flash memory. Multiple SSID's and Repeater functions lower it's range considerably. The router also seems to drop signal if mroe than 3 or 4 devices connect at a time as the CPU can't handle that much. The stock firmware is very simple to set up, almost plug and go. For a business environment, I would not recommend this router, but for basic home use where 4 or fewer devices will be connecting through it at a time, it is ideal for it's price.Read full review
I needed a low cost solution, I've had good experience with Linksys in the past, and have owned an E1000 before. I bought two of them, one to use as a main router, and the other to use as a wireless repeater/adapter. I was able to get that setup without a problem using DD-WRT. (which installed without a hitch on both.) Cons: The only con I think of with this router is that the my max download speed while connected through wireless has been greatly reduced, however the trade off is greater range and higher speeds in the lower-range areas than with my old router. Other notes: using speedtest.net I get an average of 20-25mbps wired. Wireless I get 12-15mbps on a full signal, and 8-10 on medium signal, and 6-7 on a low signal. My ISP is Comcast Xfinity.
Router was a replacement for an older Linksys b/g band router. A newer computer that I had purchased used the N range so I updated since the new router is backward compatible with the g band for older computers. It was also advertised as having a longer range and better signal than the b/g which it does. Startup and getting the computers on a secure lan wasn't too bad, but getting the network printer on the secure network was another story. During the installation phase I got several messages saying that the router could not be found, but I had seen warnings about this on the internet that such messages were common and to ignore them. Getting the printer online probably was not the fault of the router as much as my not being able to get the printer on the already secured network. The installation disk was very little help in this regard. The router runs and works very well and I have had no other problems with the router so far, after about a month's use. The price I paid for it was about half of what a new one retails for and although it was an open box item, it was apparent it had not been used or very little if any at all.Read full review
