Electronics : Linksys Wireless N Access Point (WAP4400N) |
- Great WAPHave had my WAP440N since Linksys made it avaiable. Easy install and no fuss (included quick setup easy to follow). Never had a single problem with it. Works like a champ!

- Great for what it's designed for.I read the prior reviews but went ahead and bought this on the advise of a friend who intalls wireless networks for a living and he uses this access point a lot. I am completly pleased with this Linksys product. When you plan to use it for what it is designed for, an Access point, and don't have any notions that it is anything more, it chugs right along. I ran CAT 6 cable, (keeping under 300 meters total length) and used the AC adaptor supplied to power the unit. It is ran off a Linksys wireless-N router and a 5 station Linksys Workgroup hub. I mounted it in the downstairs coat closet behind my TV room and turned on my laptop, found it, and connected. I then entered it's webbased setup utility and configured it to my liking, (WPA2 security to match my wireless router) and I works like a charm. I am writing this review on my laptop, in my bedroom, where my upstairs router alone could never reach. I now have full bar service all over my complete property, inside and out. It is just what was needed.

- Excellent ProductI purchased this WAP about two months ago and it has performed flawlessly. It was easy to setup and configure; I'm not sure what the problem is with the other reviewers. In fact, I almost didn't buy this product because of the amount of negative reviews. I have always experienced great performance with Linksys products, so I thought I'd give this one a try too. If you have basic knowledge of wireless networks and can follow simple instructions, this product is for you. If not, you'll probably have to hire a technician for any product you purchase. Don't disparage a fine product. Purchase with confidence.

- Just Doesn't Work!I bought two of these based on my good experience with the WAP54G access points. What a nightmare! These routers drop wireless packets like crazy and as a result you get disconnected from the network but you don't know it, since the computer still thinks it is connected to the AP. But you start getting "waiting for server xxx to respond" hangs in the browser. The weird thing is, you can download a single file at 30 MBPS over a cable modem with no problems, but try to surf a website and the thing hangs. I am using the newest firmware 1.2.14 released 2/5/08. This device fails both in N and G mode, in the same way. Clearly it has major firmware issues. Linksys support is worthless with no mention of this problem, even though it is all over the web and they MUST know about it. I have been buying Linksys for 10+ years but ever since Cisco bought them they have forgotten about the customer (just like Cisco). Too bad. Unfortunately I threw out the boxes so now I am stuck with two of these dogs! I won't even sell them to anyone else, that's how bad they are.

- Avoid at all costs -- take 2One star is too high a grade.
I made the grave mistake of buying this router some weeks ago. With difficulty (lousy documentation, etc.) I was able to make it work--most of the time--until last night. It died a slow and painful (for my wife and me) death last night and--because one of us often works from home with an internet connection to an office network--has caused major inconvenience.
Since this somewhat mirrors my experience with a prior Linksys router, the word "Linksys" is now a four letter word in my house, and always will be. So, I'll simply say L***sys, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!
