If you're looking for a simple workhorse Wireless-N router, you'll be happy with the WRT160N, especially considering you can get it online for $80 or less.

Overall, the WRT160N is much like Linksys' wrt320n router, minus the support for the 5Ghz band and Gigabit Ethernet. Nonetheless, it retains the same compact and sleek-looking UFO-shaped design with internal antennas.

The WRT160N achieved decent throughput speeds, especially in mixed mode and range testing. It also comes with a good set of networking features and a useful desktop application that helps set up and manage both the router and the local network. Also, you can use its Web interface to access its advanced features.

Design and ease of use
Similar to Linksys' recent routers such as the WRT320N, the wrt400n and the wrt310n, the WRT160N sports an aesthetically pleasing sleek, flat, UFO-shaped chassis. The router's antennas are internal, allowing it to be more compact than other, similarly sized routers.

Matt says "This Linksys Wireless Router has great range" about Linksys WRT160N Router

I just upgraded our old Microsoft wireless router to the Linksys WRT160N Router. It seems to be working perfectly. The set up was a cinch and the range is much better. I was also able to very easily set up the security by myself which I could not do before.

It is working with RCN cable, Windows VIsta and a Dell Vostro.

I am not a techie so I cannot really comment on the specs and how they compare to other wireless routers. But if you are mildly capable with computers you will be able to set this up yourself.

12-15-08 - Update. The range is so good that we no longer need two cable modems in the house. The old wireless router I had also caused me to have to reboot the router every few days. So far I am very happy with this router.

Works great when it will stay working. Every 2 days I have to reset the router in order for it to work again. Very frustrating. Have called Linkys twice but cannot seem to get this problem resolved. After doing some reserch it seems to be a problem with many people who are using verizon dsl. I have tried 2 different linksys routers and have trouble with both. I do believe it is time to give another company a try....
