You know that router you have been putting off buying for a friend or relative because you know you'll be called in to troubleshoot after the recipient becomes lost in the tricky setup process? Consider the Cisco Linksys E3200 High Performance Dual-Band N Router. It has a flawless setup process that's so simple just about anyone can manage. Cisco Linksys has come close to perfecting the art of router setup with the E3200. We saw the genesis of Cisco's Easy Connect setup process when the Cisco Valet Plus debuted almost two years ago. The Valet delivered a setup process unprecedented in its ease—yet there were still some issues with the Cisco Connect software, (a conflict using both Cisco Connect and the router's Web-based management console was the most problematic). Cisco Linksys has worked out the kinks with the E3200. Besides giving an effortless setup, the E3200 delivers good throughput, and it retains a signal well at longer distances. I found only two issues that caused concern in my testing of the E3200. First, it felt quite warm to the touch after running overnight. Second, although it's almost identical in specs to its predecessor, the Cisco Linksys E3000 High Performance Wireless-N Router, the E3200 didn't match the E3000's excellent 5-GHz band speed.
The Linksys E3200 is the next in line after the top-notch Linksys E4200 in Cisco Systems' new and refreshed E series of Wireless-N routers. Inferior to the E4200 only in its lack of support for the three-stream (3x3) 450Mbps standard, the E3200 is designated to replace the previous Linksys E3000, and it indeed makes a worthy upgrade. Like all routers in the new E series, the E3200 is both pretty to look at and easy to use thanks to the included Cisco Connect software. While novice users will love the software's no-brainer approach to network setup and management, experienced users may want to skip it entirely and use the responsive Web interface to take advantage of the router's advanced features. In real-world testing the E3200 proved itself to be among the fastest true dual-band Wireless-N routers. We found it also offered long-range and stable wireless signals. At its street price of around $140, the E3200 makes a formidable contender to the recent Editors' Choice-winning Asus RT-56U. The Linksys E3200 shares the eye-catching styling of the rest of Cisco's new Linksys E series, such as the E1500 or the E4200.
