1. Linksys EA4500
Review – One Of the
Best Wireless Router
Today
By Leonard Belase
I was looking for a wireless router and I did a very thorough research and I kept coming
across the Linksys EA4500. Finally I decided that I will just settle on the Linksys EA4500
and I have been very happy with my decision.
I would like to share with you the Linksys EA4500 reviews that I found very helpful for me.
Here are some of the Linksys EA4500 reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars Best wireless router I've ever owned and it should get better..., May 1,
2012
By M. Salsbury (Hilliard, OH)
The Linksys EA4500 and its predecessor, the E4200, look identical from the outside. Odds
are that they're very similar inside as well, which is good because the E4200 is one of the
finest wireless routers on the market. It was on my wish list right up until the EA4500 came
out.
As other reviewers have noted, setup is easy. Plug the router into the wall, plug it into a

in minutes. If you want advanced configuration options, point a web browser at it. (I've
posted a few interesting screen shots from the web interface.)
My home was built in 1994, and is 2600 square feet. The worst part is that our cable modem
is located on the opposite end of the house from where I normally use my laptop. Getting a
signal all the way to me has been problematic at best. In desperation, I modified an old
WRT54G router to act as a repeater, to give me enough signal to work with. Now that I have
the EA4500, I've been able to unplug the repeater. I don't get a fantastic signal at the far end
of the house, but I get enough to work with. That's an impressive feat as far as I am
concerned.
I've found the reliability of the router to be extremely high. No problems of any kind since it
came online. Never had trouble getting a signal anywhere in the house. I can't say that for
previous routers.
Depending on your sense of aesthetics, the EA4500 is either a sleek looking piece of high-
tech gear or a dull black box. Personally, I like the look of it... not that I sit around staring at
it.
While Cisco touts that the "A" in the "EA4500" name stands for "Apps", they have yet to
really deliver on that. The Cisco Connect app for mobile devices allows you to connect to the
router and do some basic management, but nothing you can't do through the browser without
the app. They're promising a "Cloud" app later this summer that will give you access to your
home network while you're away. When they deliver that, this router should really shine.
Imagine being able to get to your music files, movies, eBooks, etc., from your smartphone,
tablet, or laptop - even when you're miles away! That will be something. (Even if Cisco never
delivers the software, the EA4500 is an excellent router without it.)
But if you have no need of that functionality, you may want to look at the older (but less
expensive) E4200.
5.0 out of 5 stars Linksys Router, July 24, 2012
By Handyman "Don" (Weldon Spring, MO)
So far, this wireless router is the best one I have ever owned. It is much faster than the
previous one and doesn't drop out of service like the old one did. I would recommend this to
anyone looking for a new wireless router.
5.0 out of 5 stars Even a blonde can install it (yes, I'm blonde!), May 3, 2012
By Twain
I'm an idiot, and even I installed this router in 20 minutes. I have 3 PC's running Windows
XP, 1 laptop with Vista, 2 Droid phones, a network printer and a USB External 3 TB Hard
Drive. I connected all of them without a problem, and I then switched to the Web utility by
pointing the browser to 192.168.1.1, and performed many of the changes that other reviewers
recommended in the reviews below. I can even see the Seagate GoFlex 3TB External Hard
Drive that other reviewers said they couldn't see. I even mapped that drive on the network,

I have a 4300 s.f. house on one level, and the signal is excellent in most of the house, and it's
fair to good in some of the far corners. I plan to put a range extender in the family room just
because it's quite far from the router. Right now the signal in that room is still good enough to
stream video without a hiccup, but I want to make it stronger for the smart TV and gaming
equipment. I have an acre back yard and I can get a usable signal everywhere that I need it to
be.
Trust me - I don't speak Geek, and I have no Inner Nerd. However, I'm a woman who tends to
read and research a lot. After reading the reviews of this router, the older E4200 v2, the
Apple Extreme, Netgear and some others, I decided the Linksys EA4500 was what I needed,
and I dove right in. Thanks for all of the reviews, because it helped a lot. In the coming days,
I'll be learning more about other features and I'll be tweaking it more.
5.0 out of 5 stars Huge improvement!, May 4, 2012
By Bradley Olin (Long Beach, California)
When I saw the chance to try this out, I nearly fell out of my seat.
Note: Up until a few weeks ago we had been using an old Linksys standard wireless N router.
No dual band, no gigabit speeds. The N speed was adequate, but in this day and age of video
streaming, skyping, mobile devices, and everything else, that old router was just not doing the
trick. In fact, there were pockets of our house, even with a signal booster, that were just wi-fi
dead zones.
What I like:
- Speed, speed, and more speed. Much faster down and up speeds, beyond what is advertised
in my FiOs cable internet package. This is a plus!
- Range. My whole house gets a minimum 80% signal now. This is huge. No more dropped
connections.
- Design. It's sleek, pretty, and unobtrusive. No more endless blinking lights.
- Setup. It was a cinch. Took maybe...4 minutes?
Some improvements:
Gosh it would be nice if the unit were just a little bit smaller and maybe had a mounting
feature so it didn't have to take up shelf space.
Features I haven't yet played with:
Gigabit Ports. Our house is entirely wireless, so I can't speak to the speed of these, but
certainly would be a good feature for wired homes.
Apps
USB Plug n Play Media Server / Storage - The functionality of this looks good for a de-facto
FTP or in home cloud storage to keep essential things backed up on a solid state flash drive

Cisco Connect Cloud. This looks cool, and may have the potential to replace our apple TV?
Stay tuned for a possible update on this (coming summer 2012, according to Cisco)
