Very good

7.9

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.9 out of 10
Reviewed by Dong Ngo
Review date: 7/17/08
Release date: 7/2/08

The good: Compact, internal antenna design; supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Draft N simultaneously; network-attached storage functionality; runs cool; supports Wi-Fi-Protected Setup.

The bad: Short one-year warranty; 2.4GHz close-range and mixed-mode throughput could be better; expensive.

The bottom line: The WRT610N can satisfy both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wireless clients with its solid performance, great design, ease of use, and its ability to work as a network storage device when coupled with an external hard drive.

Awesome! Solid and fast.
I'm not sure why people are rating the signal as so poor on this. I've had no issues at all. Read more
