Reviews of the Linksys WRT160N

CNET Review
The Good: The Linksys WRT160N comes in a compact, sleek design. It sports an easy-to-use Web interface and offers a good set of networking features. Its included software is very helpful for setting it up with both Macs and PCs.
The Bad: The Linksys WRT160N doesn't support the faster Gigabit standard for wired connection, nor does it have USB support.
The Bottom Line: The Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router has consistent performance, good range, a helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. Its lack of Gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.

Review Summary: Linksys might say the focus of this router is on range, but it's not too shabby when it comes to speed, either. It's an 802.11 draft-n-based wireless router, which is easy to set-up and it looks great.
