WT610N and DMA2200 tricky to setup |
I had a problem with the first WRT610N that was shipped to me. After many hours on the chat line, and not being able to get the USB attached storage to appear on my network(Vista Home Premium), they sent me another new unit. That one worked extremely well and I've been using it for a week. I've even done a disk image backup of a portable over the `G' network to the USB attached drive. The Linksys support line is 866-509-7452 but I found the chat to be very good. Make sure you have your serial number as they will ask for that.
I primarily bought the unit to use with a Linksys DMA2200 Media Extender. That did not go well either but Linksys was very helpful over the phone and after many setting changes, that unit is also working very well. Settings on the router to make DMA2200 work include:
Basic Wireless - Set to Manual, Disable 5 GHz, Set 2.4 GHz Network Mode to Mixed, Set Radio Band to Wide, Set Wide Channel to 6, set Standard channel to 8
Set Wireless security to WPA2-Personal
Advanced Wireless Settings: (on both channels) Disable Frame Burst, Set Beacon Interval to 50, RTS Threshold to 2304
On the DMA2200, go to setting and reset to factory defaults under General Tab, walk through the setup screens. Then go to your PC and add the media Extender. Then power off the extender, Power off router for 1 minute. The power on router, Reboot PC, power on Extender and everything worked for me.
Once everything is working, you can go back to the router setup and enable the 5Ghz channel which now will work well with the media extender.

Bad news |
This thing has version 1.00 firmware in it and it shows. It was slower than my wireless G modem it was to replace. All of our wireless devices took forever to load a web page--both Windows XP and Mac OS X computers. We had great response with the previous LinkSys router that it was to replace. After Googling and looking at the LinkSys web site for answers, I returned it after one day. I am back on my old, reliable router w/o a worry.
Save yourself the money and grief and stay away from this thing. |

Worst EVER router!!! |
|
This is the worst ever router I have tested. I've had cheaper ones doing a better job. The N connection is a waste of time, effort and health!! It disconnects constantly, it has the worst wireless range, and I can keep saying only bad things about this worthless product! It really desappointed me awfully. |

Easily & automatically configured with Apple MacBook Air with Mac OS X 10.5 at 5 GHz; but not with other wireless cards@ 2.4 GHz |
This Linksys WRT610N 2-channel wirelessly router works easily and smoothly with my Apple MacBook Air notebook computer with Mac OS X 10.5.5 at 5 GHz band of encryption methods of either WPA2-Personal TKIP or AES. In contrast, it did not work reliably at 2.4 GHz band with internal 54G wireless cards in my Dell Latitude D810 notebook PC and Brother MFC-8870DW wireless printer until two changes: 1) The encryption method has to be AES; TKIP did not work for me. This issue has been reported in many internet discussions. 2) I needed to call Linksys' technical support to modify some values in the 2.4 GHz band's Advanced Wireless settings to made successful and somewhat stable wireless connection. The 2.4 GHz band still does not provide a stable signal strength, which fluctuates from 1 to 48 GHz.
The 2.4 GHz band can work, but Linksys may need to work on it. This is my personal and a casual wireless networking individual's observation. |
