(More customer reviews)I used to get my wireless signal through an airport card in a very old Mac I own. I connected the Mac to the cable router via Ethernet and then used the Internet sharing option in OSX to beam a wireless signal for all my devices. This was fine for me, but sadly my old Mac died last week. (*cries)
I bought this router to get my wireless network going again. I was attracted to the Valet router, of course, but I didn't think I really needed it (and currently it costs $89). Well, I bought the WRT120N as a cost effective alternative. It took me about 10 minutes at the most to set it up. You just put the disc in the drive and follow all of the directions. My Linux laptops detected and picked network up immediately. My daughter's Nintendo DSi was just as easy to connect. When I am on my desk top I can see exactly who is connected to my network at any time, and I can share the printer with all the computers, as well. The connection is great- I get a lot more speed on my wireless signal than I did using the old Mac method. This is the lower end of the Cisco wireless N router lineup, and it is fantastic, so I can only imagine how amazing the Valet would be.
I would recommend this for anyone who wants to set up a home network with a fairly simple setup, like laptops, game consoles, e-readers, etc. I cannot say how it would work with a complicated home entertainment setup. In fact, I don't think it is meant to handle more than basic home networks. Dont be put off by price or other reviewers who cant set up a network and blame the equipment. This is a great router, and if you can follow instructions you can get your network up and running in just a few minutes.
