Linksys WRT120N is a simple and inexpensive router , it is a great choice for basic internet use.

  • Push button setup : this feature helps make wireless configuration more secure and simple (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™)
  • Nice Design : The sleek and stylish product silhouette eliminates external antennas and looks good anywhere in the home

CONS:

  • No Dual Band support
  • No Gigabit Ethernet Ports : this is a big cons of cisco linksys wrt120n especially if you use a wired connection
  • No USB ports : USB ports offer the possibility to connect an USB printer or an external hard drive to the network
  • linksys wrt120n is not very stable for busy networks , you might encounter connection dropping heavily , firmware updates did not solve the issue .
