Review: Excellent quality at an affordable price - I have been in technology for many, many years, and my expertise concerns Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and telecommunications in general. I work remotely from my corporate office, and I use an IP phone to talk to my co-workers. I have been dealing with the call quality issues that our customers experience mostly due to poor-quality routers for most of my career. I've put hands on just about SOHO device out there, and Linksys has always been a great product for the small office. The best part of this line of Linksys devices is that Cisco bought the company but kept the easy-to-use software management in tact, only changing the brand name. All of these Linksys devices for the past decade have generally built on the same competent administrative interface, which means that every time you upgrade, you have a familiar experience waiting for you. One of the nicest features for me is the QoS settings. You can create policies by IP, port, protocol, and MAC address, and then assign a High Medium Low value to that device for Quality of Service. In an office environment, if you had hard IP phones (like Polycom phones), you would want to put in the MAC of each phone and set it's QoS to High so that the router would automatically prioritize traffic from these devices over PCs and network storage, printers, etc. For a home office, you would still want high priority for your phone, or if you were using a softphone on your computer you might give your laptop priority. Of course, assigning the priority to your laptop would mean that youtube would compete with your voice conversations, so in this case it might be better to establish a port and protocol QoS policy. Many desertcart customers may not find this level of technical detail helpful when considering which device to purchase, but these are the things that matter to me when evaluating a router for my home office. Linksys / Cisco do some great things with repeaters, making it easy to have this device as your central router and then smaller access points throughout your home to extend the wireless range. All that stuff works really well if you know enough to configure it. One really cool thing Linksys / Cisco has been doing for the past few years is the guest access SSID for wireless. You can have a secured wireless name for your family, and then a guest access that has it's own password or no password at all for friends or neighbors stealing your wifi. But these separate SSIDs allow you to create policies restricting access so that a cunning neighbor cruising on your wifi wouldn't have access to your entire home network, and you don't have to give our your primary password to a friend who is staying the weekend. This model of router goes a step further with simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz transmissions. Since the 2.4 GHz spectrum is so crowded (cordless phones, all manny of wifi router, etc.) sometimes you are in an apartment location where everyone has wifi and all the available channels have been used, so you get poor performance from your device due to the crowded airwaves. With the dual 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz transmissions, you get tons of air space, and you can even have certain devices on 2.4 while others are on 5 in your own home to reduce the chatter on a particular channel. I have my laptop and iPad on 5 GHz, but the iPhones in the home are on 2.4 GHz. I don't honestly think I've improved anything - we're only talking about 10 devices all told - but it's nice that this is a feature. Plus certain devices that have older B/G antennas can't use the super-fast N antenna, but this router serves both devices equally. In our home, we have two iPads, three iPhones, three Macbooks, one xbox 360, one Apple TV (2nd Gen), and one Samsung Smart TV (with wifi or LAN cable access). I have all of these devices networked through the router, and just to be a jerk I decided to start video streaming on all of them at once, then try my VoIP phone (laptop) to see if quality was affected - no issues at all. If you have the $190 for the high-end model with 6 antennas - get that one. I didn't want to spend the cash. Review: Easy setup, good range - I'm a really old fellow and I'm just an ordinary computer user, far from an expert. I was a bit apprehensive about setting up this router, since I had a great deal of trouble setting up a Netgear router several years ago. But setup was very quick and easy, almost a "no brainer", using the Linksys Connect software. The only hitch I had was that I had to download the software from the Linksys site, because the CD which came with the router did not work. But even that download was simple, easy, and quick. If the CD had worked normally, setup would have taken less than 10 minutes. As it was, I was up and running in about 20 minutes, with no frustration at all. The Linksys 2500 has much better range than my former Netgear router. It allows internet access everywhere in our two story 5 bedroom ranch style house, including the basement, so I guess you could say that's three stories of access, in a pretty big house. It also works in the garage and in the front and back yards. I couldn't ask for more than that. A very tiny warning - even though I get good access everywhere, there are places in the distant corners of the house where I only see one out of the four access band indicators when I'm using my Kindle Fire. I think part of the limitation is the Fire's WiFi antenna, not the router. I don't know whether speed of access has improved, since I never measured speed with my Netgear - but access in the upstairs of the house (where the router is) is instantaneous. Access in the distant corners of the house is a few seconds slow, but that's a huge improvement, since I never had access there with the Netgear. I have not measured data throughput. I don't mean to knock Netgear. That router is several years old and it's only a g router. Hardware, Software and ease of installation have improved a lot since then. Once I've used the Linksys 2500 for a few weeks, I'll update this and report on longer term reliability. ## Features - Enjoy the power of simultaneous dual band Wireless N (802.11n) technology with double the capacity for surfing the web - Connect your computers, wireless printers, smartphones, and other wireless devices at up to 300 + 300 Mbps of transfer speed - Double your network bandwidth with simultaneous dual bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) to help avoid interference - Enjoy the superior range provided by a MIMO antenna array - Use 4 Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) ports to directly connect wired devices - Give visitors password protected Internet access on a separate network so your visitors have access to the Internet - Keep your network protected with customizable security settings, including WPA/WPA2 Personal and SPI firewall protection - Set up your wireless network in 3 easy steps using included Cisco Connect software ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004T9RR4A | | Antenna Location | Security | | Antenna Type | Internal | | Best Sellers Rank | #110,341 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #731 in Computer Routers | | Brand | Linksys | | Built-In Media | N600 Dual-band N Router | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Printer | | Connectivity Protocol | Ethernet, Wi-Fi | | Connectivity Technology | Wireless | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Switch | | Coverage | wide | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,471 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 300 Megabits Per Second | | Frequency | 5 GHz | | Frequency Band Class | Dual-Band | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00930443442863 | | Has Internet Connectivity | Yes | | Is Modem Compatible | No | | Item Type Name | Belkin Router | | Item Weight | 0.71 Pounds | | LAN Port Bandwidth | 10/100 megabits_per_second | | Manufacturer | Linksys | | Maximum Upstream Data Transfer Rate | 600 Megabits Per Second | | Mfr Part Number | E2500-NP | | Model Name | N600 | | Model Number | E2500-NP | | Number of Ports | 4 | | Operating System | Windows XP Professional Edition | | Other Special Features of the Product | WPS | | Router Network Type | hybrid | | Security Protocol | WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Special Feature | WPS | | UPC | 930443442863 745883596744 603199642411 700736687642 898029713175 163120533954 803982780706 745883592371 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited warranty | | Wi-Fi Generation | Wi-Fi 4 | | Wireless Communication Standard | 802.11a/b/g/n | | Wireless Compability | 802.11a/b/g/n | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Linksys - **Model Name:** N600 - **Special Feature:** WPS - **Frequency Band Class:** Dual-Band - **Wireless Communication Standard:** 802.11a/b/g/n - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer, Printer - **Frequency:** 5 GHz - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Security - **Included Components:** N600 Dual-band N Router - **Connectivity Technology:** Wireless ## Images ![Linksys E2500 (N600) Advanced Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612atg2dzQL.jpg) ![Linksys E2500 (N600) Advanced Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61boAlYLVhL.jpg) ![Linksys E2500 (N600) Advanced Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610oNqXqR1L.jpg) ![Linksys E2500 (N600) Advanced Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VqgBBF-1L.jpg) ![Linksys E2500 (N600) Advanced Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91H0t-TBgNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do I install Tomato (by Shibby) on this router?** A: I can't believe this router is still available. I would recommend Freshtomato now, Shibby Tomato project is dead, no updates since 2017. I have not installed on a "new" one, only V1 and V2. No idea what version this one is. **Q: So the specs state that this model does not have a USB port. But the picture clearly shows a USB port. Can you attach an HDD to the USB port?** A: I just purchased this router (E2500) and I assure you it comes with a USB plug and it works with external hard drives. I currently have my seagate free agent 300 MB hard drive plugged directly into it. It is mapped to my computer and my wife's computer under the U drive. I have transfered files to the hard drive and downloaded from the hard drive. The Linksys Connect utility allows you to search your router for connected devices.This confuses me because the instructions on the box say this feature is not supported, but I assure you it is. **Q: How does this compare to the e 1200?** A: I honestly can't answer your ? It was recommended by our computer guy as the best for our situation. We have cable & pull almost 30 Mbps. **Q: does this support PPPoE?** A: Everything is come pppoe ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality at an affordable price *by T***T on December 6, 2011* I have been in technology for many, many years, and my expertise concerns Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and telecommunications in general.

Setup was straightforward enough, but performance did not meet expectations, especially compared to newer routers in the same price range. Speeds were inconsistent, range was limited, and I experienced frequent drops when multiple devices were connected. While it technically supports dual-band wireless, it struggles to handle modern internet usage like streaming, video calls, and smart home devices all at once. The interface also feels old and lacks features that are standard on more current models. Overall, it functions, but for the price, there are far better and more reliable options available. This might work for very basic needs, but it is overpriced for what it delivers today. ## Frequently Bought Together - Linksys E2500 (N600) Advanced Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router - Cat 8 Ethernet Cable, 1.5Ft 3Ft 6Ft 10Ft 15Ft 20Ft 30Ft 40Ft 50Ft 60Ft 100Ft Heavy Duty High Speed Internet Network Cable, Professional LAN Cable Shielded in Wall, Indoor&Outdoor - Linksys Hydra Pro Mesh WiFi 6E Router MR7500 Tri-Band WiFi Mesh Router AXE 6600 For Wireless Internet For The Home, Work, And Guest House - Connect 55+ Devices, 2,700 Sq Ft --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/1202780-linksys-e2500-n600-advanced-simultaneous-dual-band-wireless-n-router](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/1202780-linksys-e2500-n600-advanced-simultaneous-dual-band-wireless-n-router) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
