Reviews for this Cisco wireless router (1217 user reviews): "The new routers dubbed “Valet” and “Valet Plus” are Cisco’s attempt at simplifying the home Wi-Fi setup...Both models share similar specs, offering a somewhat disappointing 2.4Ghz Wireless-N as opposed to the much preferred 5.0Ghz dual-band connectivity...The base Valet model will retail for $99 while the Valet Plus will ask for a few extra bills at $149..." see less »

Reviews for this Linksys wireless router (2 expert reviews (rating 65 / 100) • 278 user reviews): "Sustains good signal strength at distance...2.4 GHz performance much better than that of the E2000...Easy setup and management....No Gigabit Ethernet...Performance at 5 GHz band not as robust as that of the E2000, last year's model....The Cisco Linksys E2500 ($99.99, direct) Advanced Dual-Band Wireless-N Router is part of the new lineup of E-Series routers...However, I found the throughput of the E2500 a little disappointing...Still, the E2500 is good enough..." see less »
