I've been using it for close to 1 year now. Cisco routers have always been very good (ones I used at other places) and never have had problems.

27" iMac, My windows desktop, iPad 1, iPhone 3GS, macbook air, Gateway Laptop (windows and linux), PS3... all devices connected to it hear, sometimes 3-4 running on it.

I'm able to do server upload and downloads while watching movies through netflix on my iPad and more.


What it's going to come down to is whether you want to save $100. I will bet the AirPort extreme is easier to setup but I doubt if it'll shave more than 5-10 minutes on the time. Ask yourself, are you really as tech inept as grandma? I doubt it.

If it comes down to aesthetics and the name, than get the airport extreme, otherwise be sensible and get a cisco router.
I gave the E2500 to my friend. It sucked for me. I bought it to replace a netgear. As I mentioned before. I am not an 'Apple' guy. So the name for me means nothing. It is just a better product. It should be Cisco (Linksys) not Linksys (cisco). Because if you think anything about that thing is 'Cisco' besides the name, youre crazy.


Cisco


Linksys
