Description
The Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router is really four devices in one box. First, there's the dual-band Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together at up to gigabit speeds. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

Strengths: Long Range and strong signal
Weakness: Expensive
This unit replaced our Linksys WRG54T in use for two years. The older unit needed constant rebooting from its inability to handle conflicts with other WiFi circuits from our neighbors and its range seemed to vary with the weather. Since going with our new Dual-band WRT600N, all of these problems have vanished. Even fussy guests who were complaining last year about the signal seemed totally...
Strengths: nice that it has dual band good range
Weakness: hangs up
I had this for a little while, but it get dropping my connections. it also locked up hard a couple of times. This was with the latest firmware at the time (in 6/2008) so YMMV. Nevertheless, I'm back to my trendnet tew-633gr, which is quite solid, even if it doesn't have dual band.
Strengths: 2.4GHz/5GHz Dual Band, Range, Stability, Built-in Gigabit Switch.
Weakness: Wireless clients dont always connect at highest speed, a bit pricy.
I have had this router for awhile, and overall I am pleased. It offers dual band capability, which as long as your wireless client (notebook, etc) has a dual-band card, throughput is alot higher than a plain 802.11G setup. I consistently get 45 - 50 MB/s transfer rate when testing using a throughput tester, which is alot higher than my old 802.11G router. My only (minor) grip is my notebook...
Strengths: Increased speed and range. Slim appearance. Reasonably easy set up if familiar with wireless configurations.
Weakness: Firmwear needed upgrade. Crashed during upgrade and had to contact linksys to rewrite flash memory. Price.
I upgraded to this router about eight months ago to increase my networks range and speed from my prior G band router. Required upgrading all the computers in the house to N band to get the maximum benefit, however, was worth it. ONE WARNING: The firmwear that came with my router was not the most current. You can download the newer firmwear from the linksys website but DO NOT attempt to load this...
Strengths: SIMULTANEOUS G and N connections - Reliable performance - Super Fast
Weakness: Expensive - Can not set default router to different IP address
I stepped up to the WRT600N when my old G router stopped working. I paid the rather high prices for the WRT600N because I knew it was the only simultaneous dual band router on the market and with legacy G devices on my network, I had to keep them working. I do a lot of PC to PC data movement (streaming to media center, streaming to laptop, large file syncing from laptop to backup). It is so much...
Strengths: Ease of installation and set-up. Solid construction and design. Quality output.
Weakness: Installation software a little buggy.
I was very impressed upon pulling this out of the box. For the consumer who is concerned with both performance as well as aesthetics, I can say this is definitely an attractive unit that is very strong on performance. The installation of this was an absolute breeze thanks to the EasyLink Advisor software that comes packaged with the router. It took 5 minutes, and walked me through the dismantling...
Strengths: - Allows SIMULTANEOUS G and N connections - Reliable performance - Super Fast - Good QOS for VOIP.
Weakness: - Expensive - No VPN
This is my third Wi-Fi Linksys router, and about my 10th wireless router. I decided to buy this router because it is one of the routers in the market that allows SIMULTANEOUS N and G connections without any performance degradation. Basically the router has two independent radios, that can work at the same time...one of them handles the G wi-fi and the other the N wi-fi. The advantage is that the...
Strengths: Great flexibility with 2 wireless networks built in.
Weakness: People don't read the manual to configure it right.
This router is great assuming you configure it right and use it with the right equipment. I configured the router so that my good laptop is on the 5ghz network (using the Linksys WPC600N wireless adapter) and all other wireless equipment using b,g or 2.4ghz-N connect to the 2.4ghz wireless network. Yes, your wireless computers will be connecting to two different wireless networks but as long as...
Strengths: simultaneous dual band (only one on market now), FAST FAST speeds, USB storage is nice if you're going to use it (who does?), Can do DD-WRT, fairly good standard firmware with a lot of options
Weakness: No stand for vertical orientation, speeds drop off closer than I would have thought, range is not really improved that much
I stepped up to the WRT600N when my old G router stopped working. I paid the rather high prices for the WRT600N because I knew it was the only simultaneous dual band router on the market and with legacy G devices on my network (wii, PS3, etc) I knew I wanted to keep them separate from my N devices to actually see the speed improvement of going to N. Many people will tell you that there's no point...

Piece of junk!
Strengths: None
Weakness: You name it! Most notably, USB network storage never worked properly, when it worked at all.
I bought this unit last May, and have regretted it ever since. Network access was sporadic, and access across channels would not work at all, meaning computers connected by hard wire would not see the computers connected via either wireless channel, and computers connected via wireless would not see computers connected by hardwire or on the other wireless channel. The USB network storage was...
