4 x 10/100/1000Base-TX LAN, 1 x DSL WAN, 1 x USB - IEEE 802.11n draft - 54Mbps - MPN: WRT350N See Product Details
Description
The Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link is really four devices in one box. First, there's the 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: N is very fast, Gigabit integrated switch, Storage Link, Low Profile vertical stand.
Weakness: None thus far, but the 4x range on 802.11G is far fetched, it is the same or slightly less then my WRT54GS with hi gain antennas.
Overall, this product is very good to excellent, I have not had any problems with it so far like others have, maybe I have newer hardware. 802.11N is very fast compared to G, and the range is OK not 4x better on G on N it does have a slight gain. Its storage link is stable for me running a Seagate storage product. The integrated Gigabit switch is excellent for wired transfers to devices on my...
Strengths: Storage Link, N-Speed, Gigabit
Weakness: Lack of "official" firmware updates, N compatibility lacking, storage link slow
Many of the above weaknesses are relieved by a firmware update. v1.05.8 This is a beta version, but I have ran it for three weeks now with no trouble. Linksys still has 1.03.2 on their website. This finally made it able to connect at N speeds with an Intel 4965AGN card in my laptop. I have had the router for about 6 months, and with this firmware update, it is like a whole new router. Storage...

- Nov 10, 2006
Strengths: It hold papers down on your desk nicely.
Weakness: No stable internet connection, USB storage option doesn't work, No stable firmware for product, Tech support is in India and cannot be understood, India speakers read from manuals and are rude.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. IT DOES NOT WORK. I installed this unit approximately one week ago and it will not stay connected to the internet no matter what I have tried or Linksys technical support has. Their support staff is in India and they have no idea of what to do without reading from a manual. I spent hours on the phone with them being transferred from one person to the next who could not...
Strengths: Speedy when functional
Weakness: Access Control function renders it useless for hours.
The Linksys WRT350N has weak ineffective control software, and support that’s even worse! Cisco, shame on you! For a flagship consumer product, unfortunately the Linksys WRT350N is far below par. I lived with one for 3 weeks (as I invested many, many hours in failed attempts to obtain effective Linksys technical support) before I returned it to Best Buy. The firewall (and associated tech...
Strengths: it hassome good features like the gigaports and storage link and some detailed firmware options
Weakness: wireless signal kept dropping not stable
couldnt get my new laptop with n card to connect couldnt get my g cards to connect wireless signal dropped. my laptop was place about 5ft from router and no signal could be found when changed to g and b mode my cards could see a signal but couldnt connect. updated to new firmware and even exchanged for another but it had the same problems got it out of the box cards seen signal after about 10 min...
Strengths: Good range, both horizontal and vertical. Get reception of 61% two floors down in opposite corner of basement when using linksys made Wireless-n receivermade Wireless-n receiver.
Weakness: While the router software seems fine, the driver for the PCI receiver can cause serious issues with your system ranging from a complete hang, to audio/video popping and crackling.
I was initially pleased with the ease of setup and the range and speed improvement over my old wireless G network. Then I noticed that the audio/video on my receiving computer (Using the WMP300N PCI DESKTOP CARD) had become choppy and static. After days of rollbacks and uninstalls I traced it to the linksys driver for the WMP300N. To make matters worse, the uninstall for this does not work...
Strengths: Power indicator light works flawlessly.
Weakness: Nothing else does.
I'm now on my second WRT350N on my second wasted weekend sitting on hold with the unknowledgable, unhelpful, rude Linksys technical support. All they can do is read me 5 pages from a manual and then pass me off to someone else who in turn reads me 5 more pages. They can find nothing wrong with my computer/network configuration as it works flawlessly with my existing WRT54G router. The WRT350N...
Strengths: Stable connection, easy to install, good indoor/outdoor coverage area - thanks to wireless-N technology
Weakness: no extention cable for antenna, no outdoor antenna, router is not built for outdoor use.
I installed this Linksys on the roof of my office. The intention was to establish a network connection between office building and my boss's house when he has a desktop with Linksys wireless-N network card plus external outdoor antenna. The distance is around 200 feet so the clear visibility between two antennas is required. Connection is stable and my boss can even connect to the office network...
Strengths: Supports DD-WRT USB Drive support (maybe)
Weakness: Unstable (!) Infrequent firmware updates from Linksys
I bought this to replace a WRT54G, thinking that the reason it would hang every day and have to be restarted was its paltry memory. This was even worse. With this one, not only would it hang almost daily, but power cycling didn't work - I had to hard-reset it (holding the little button on the back and returning it to factory settings). This was absolutely the only way to get it back to working...
THE GOOD: The Linksys WRT350N router offers USB port for networking hard drives; Gigabit Ethernet ports; UPnP media server and FTP server; generous warranty and service package. THE BAD: Throughput is lackluster. THE BOTTOM LINE: Although the Linksys WRT350N router offers some interesting and compelling features, its performance is slow compared to the competitions. If youre after the fastest...

Performance is Average according to 5 Wireless Router experts. -- "It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the router can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds up to 15 times as fast as standard Wireless-G."-tigerdirect.com -- "very good range"-jiwire.com -- "The Access Point...

The WRT350N is essentially a single-band version of the WRT600N, with slightly lower wireless performance.

Solid Router
Strengths: USB Hard Drive support, uPNP Media Server, Easy setup, Gigabit
Weakness: Doesn't support other USB devices (Printers, etc), run a little warm (not too hot to touch, but warm)
I used to have a 54G Linksys router with high gain antennas before it went belly up. I averaged 70% signal strength with it, using the 350N, I've been averaging 90%. My 350N came with the v1.03.2 firmware, and have no issues. I connect to the internet over DSL, and take advantage of the PPPoE connection type. -- The router includes all of the normal setup options, as well as some extras: DDNS -...
