My cable provider wanted $12 a month to add WiFi to my account, which made this device very cost effective indeed, considering it will have essentially paid for itself in about six weeks. Physical setup took just a few minutes but running the software setup was a bit more complicated because I have an older Mac and the minimum MacOS X system software is 10.6, which my machine doesn't run. Fortunately, it's a dual boot system, so I was able to boot into Windows 10 and run that version of the software to set up network security. Without the dual boot capability, I would have been stuck with an unsecured network. Once I got through that little hurdle, I was able to log in under either operating system. Performance seems to be at least as good as my old WiFi router and the signal reaches the far end of the house, even though this unit lacks any external antennae. As a manufacturer refurbished unit, this one came with a steeply discounted price tag and a short warranty period. A third party extended warranty might be worth considering.Read full review

Great feature set ... but (a) Needs cross over RJ45 cable to connect the WAN port to the DSL modem, (b) the 5GHz band SSID disappears after the unit is on for about 4 hours or more. These idiosyncrasies could be because the device is used i.e. not refurbished to factory specs. Works fine in the 2.4 GHz band but gives only up to 150 Mbps connections; good enough for my setup.

Well, to be honest... this router had to live up to less than stellar expectations, i.e. it just had to hold its configuration during a power burp, unlike my Goodwill-purchased Netgear 802.11N router. At first, setup takes a little while to get used to; its control logic with regards to the ISP connection and authentication/logon supercedes that of the DSL modem I have it attached to, so I had to enter master account info under PPPoE settings. Stemming from that, I had to get used to seeing only 3 solid lights from the DSL modem vice 4... but that's a small obstacle. I don't see why Linksys/Cisco couldn't make the switchports capable up to 1000M/bps- would it have been that expensive to do? I have yet to delve into some of the connection control features to see just what it's capable of, but so far I'm pleased with its uptime and feel safe leaving town without taking frantic calls from the family about how 'the Internet is down!'Read full review
This may be an older model but in no way is it outdated or old. I bought this new when it first came out paid about 185.00 for it. It easy to use works awesome has a small foot print and works well with our many wireless devices. Kindle, phones, laptops, smart TV all work great and we have an extended wireless adapter different brand and it setup easy as well. I liked it so much that when my mom needed a wireless router in 2017 I bought this. It works awesome and fast we both have 60mb internet speeds and this puts out wireless about 35MB sec great for gamers, and home units.

A good basic router with both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz frequencies. Supports DDWRT and Tomato (use correct firmware depending on the version of e2500. ddwrt may not support 5Ghz). Range and speed are OK, not huge but as a basic router it's good enough. Especially buying used if you can find one that's in good condition for $10-15 it's a v good value.
