The price is alright for a simultaneous dual-band router.
RAM is OK- 64MB, CPU is a bit too slow it seems (300MHz BCM5357) but I guess it's because of 100mbps switch- you can't exceed 100mbps throughput so you don't need a fast CPU.
Wireless is said to be good @2.4GHz and average @5GHz.
All in all this router is OK if you don't do a lot of wired transfers ans don't have/plan on having a NAS- in that case you'd need a Gigabit switch. -
I have this router and am pretty happy with it.
Wireless coverage is very good, and speed as well. I have a 10 Mb down/1 Mb up connection.
I recently did a wired transfer of 50GB between the HP netbook in my sig and an old Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu on it as well. It took about 2 hours at roughly 7-7.5 MB/s.
Between faster computers (like my E4300 and my friend's desktop) I've seen 20-22 MB/s. -
100mbps is roughly 12MB/s see I don't see how is it possible to get a wired transfer of 20-22 MB/s with this router.

I may have seen 12.... but I seem to remember it being 22.
Ahh, it's been awhile. -
So, look it up. 11.92Megabyte/second.

How about beating this?
4m away from the Router, LAN to WLAN. Max for 100Mbps LAN Switch is as they said ~12MBps
Mine is a Gigabit Router with 3 streams 2.4GHZ Frequency.
Linksys E2500:Any thoughts?
