Good when it works

Pros When it works I am wire free in my living room
Cons Always breaking so I am still tripping over wires
Recommended it? No

My boyfriend and I purchased the Linksys WCG200 wireless Router about a year ago. We purchased it to cut back on the number of wires going across our living room floor. It was great for a while but then we started having problems. It started as a little occurrences here and there where the Internet... Read full review »

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy install, and easy configuration.
Cons Will not maintain a connection to the internet and constantly needs restarting.
Recommended it? No

I purchased my WCG200 in the summer of 2007 with the intention of having an easy solution to my home networking needs. I chose the Linksys wireless router because of my past experience and satisfaction with their products. The installation was very easy and I had it up and running the day I had... Read full review »

Very poor technical service

byrjodra Aug 20, 2006
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros ease of use, convenient
Cons lousy technical service
Recommended it? No

The modem is OK. Fairly easy to configure through the web based interface. We bought it to avoid having the two separate boxes for the modem and router.

The wireless connection works fine. We have WEP security, which you have to set up. But the configuration is as you would expect from... Read full review »

CONSTANT Dropped Connections

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros All in one is nice concept
Cons Would be nice if is had faster wireless (Speedbooster)
Recommended it? No

I have had my WCG200 v.2 for about 2 months. About a month ago, I noticed that my connection was CONSTANTLY dropping. This is a REAL pain when you have Vonage and your phones are going down all the time. Sometimes I would stay connected for most of the day, other times, 5 minutes would be all I...

Linksys ... not [exactly] a Cisco-branded product.

bypstickne Jan 17, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros All-in-one unit with easy setup which, in theory, promises an uncluttered home solution.
Cons Poor cable connection (WAN) reliability requiring manual resets. Settings spontaneously...
Recommended it? No

DISCLAIMER:
I'm not against all-in-one solutions and for many home users a wireless cable-modem gateway with a default-on firewall/router and WAP WiFi support may be the perfect choice on a tight budget. However, I would avoid the Linksys WCG200 -- if even to try another Linksys cable modem... Read full review »

Pros Relatively Inexpensive, Eliminates Wire Clutter
Cons Dropouts, Stalls, Loses Settings, Difficult to Configure Wireless Security, Cannot Return...
Recommended it? No

I purchased this product one year ago. Since that time I've experienced adequate performance from the WCG200 with a 5Mbps connection from Time-Warner Cable in North Carolina but there is still some significant downside to this product.

First, the WCG200 experiences intermittent stalls and... Read full review »

I been using the WCG200 for about 2years now and it has worked flawlessly. Few weeks back I switched to sunrocket phone service whose device connects to the router. The phone service also has been working flawlessly so far. I really have no complaints.. its a silent workhorse that requires little... Read full review »

Pros none
Cons bad cable modem. bad wireless router.
Recommended it? No

Replacing my old surfboard modem and linksys wireless b router with one device seemed like a good idea.

I made the mistake of not checking reviews here or on Amazon, based on previous good luck with linksys devices.

The modem constantly drops broadband connections, and worse the... Read full review »

Pros easy setup, long wireless range
Cons frequent connection drops, terrible tech support, only WEP encryption, no WPA

I recently installed the WCG200 to replace my current cable modem and allow my laptop to be wireless. The setup was fairly easy however I was experiencing frequent connection losses.

Pros Highly satisfied and will continue to recommend.
Cons None. I have not seen any WAN drops as others have claimed.
Recommended it? Yes

The WCG200s that are shipping now have updated firmware that has improved performance and reliability. I do not agree with others' negative comments as to WAN drops, as we do not see that at all. Read full review »
