    I am considering buying this router.
    LINKSYS WRT320N IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab, IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE802.11n 2 Dual-Band Wireless Router 2.4GHz/5GHz 1 x 10/100/1000M WAN; 4 x 10/100/1000M LAN 128-bit encryption
    Any one can have an opinion on this router?
    Could some one have a better recommendation?
    I looking to get top speed (under wired communication) the wireless use is not that essential.
    Please help... Thanks.

    yea seems pretty decent dual band as well, I've been seein alot of lynksys stuff around lately never tried one of their routers so personally wouldn't know if they are good or not but from the specs sounds great.

    You seems to like d-link and Netgear. Any particular models in those brands with similar specs as the link above, you would buy?

    I am going to order it. I have read a bunch of reviews. Just like this unit, there are bad, very bad reviews about all the other similar ones.
    I will take my chances. I will keep a post of my results.
    Thanks for the response.

    I did get the LinkSys wrt320n. It install very easy. I did not recognized my cable connection upon install. I think it was because I have static Ip. A few changes and it is perfect. The wireless was easy too. It gave me range after walls and 1 floor of 64 ft 28% reception.
    A week and so far so good. (knocking wood)
    Pcanywhere was another issue. It was my fault no to recognize the difference of single port range and port range. I did call support and they were helpful but fail to recognized my mistake. Gave some changes to make, that of course did not work. I found the mistake and now is working perfect.
    If any one need some help with this unit, contact me.
