 Good, while it worked November 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this about 4 months ago. It died yesterday. Suddenly none of the computers on my network cannot see the router. When I try to "re-install" using the CD the comes with the router, I get the same message - router not found. I have swapped out cables and change network cards. No dice! This thing is dead! I give it one star for 4 months of service.
 Lyksys BEFSR41 for home use October 30, 2008
This is my third Linksys BEFSR41 router in 5 years. The first one lasted about 3 years and was fried during a lightening storm from a surge through the phone lines. The second one has lasted about 2 years. I recently purchased a new one as almost every day I would have to unplug the router power supply and plug it back in to establish an internet connection. With this new router, the same thing must be done. I thought there was something wrong with the router. Apparantly, there must be an issue with the modem. Now, I have a back-up router! Overall, the installation was not as easy as I'd hoped for. Many hours have been spent on the phone with Linksys tech support over the years. In the end, they always get me up and running.
Frequent dropped connections October 17, 2008
I bought this router about 1 week ago and followed the instructions exactly from a-to-z. It worked. After running my normal software like uTorrent and Skype I began noticing lots of droppage. Both these software require uninterrupted connections. So the frequent drops made it a pain to work with this router. If you only do regular browsing on the internet, you might not notice many disconnects and think the occasional delays as just net traffic. I read suggestions to upgrade the firmware and went to linksys site to get it. After upgrading it, it refused to work altogether. The power led began blinking and then it was useless. Phone support was helpful and courteous but still couldn't solve my problem and had to return it for refund.

You want me to rate an item? Put the product link in the form. Why should I have to backtrack twice to do you a favor?
Great product, piss poor customer service! September 28, 2008
This is my 2nd of these routers in the past 5 years. My first one was working fine until I decided to go through the firmware upgrade process. Following the directions laid out by Linksys, the firmware update ended up making my router unusable. I called tech support and after waiting forever, the tech basically told me it was unfixable and I'd have to go buy another one. He never really asked me too many questions and just seemed interested in getting me off the phone and in the store to buy another one. I ended up having that first one for 2 years.
So I go purchase another one and have been using it for going on 3 years roughly. It works great, easy to setup and gives me lots of home network expandability.
I'm not a computer guru so I can't comment on it's technical aspects but I've never had any problems that were interent, home network or virus related with this product.
