the "radar dish" is particularly cheap looking. None of the antennae are either removable or capable of a large range of motion. This makes the thing difficult to put in out of the way spaces and tacky if placed where one can see it. ]]>Oct 23rd 2007 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/Oct 23rd 2007 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/Oct 23rd 2007 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/]]>Oct 24th 2007 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/Oct 23rd 2007 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/hidden Rebel base"]]>Oct 23rd 2007 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/Oct 23rd 2007 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/Oct 23rd 2007 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/Oct 23rd 2007 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/
You'd also think someone whose job it is to write in certian blogs about tech news would be careful enough to notice the distinction, but alas, no.

Sigh.]]>Oct 24th 2007 5:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/
The software would correct the date/time on files for your time zone as you wrote them, but not when you read them back. So every file always looked like it had been modified since you last wrote it if you checked the date. This messed up myriad programs and the only fix was to set the timezone to UTC.

Make no mistake, Linksys has no interest in making any of the non-base station features of this products work right, they just use them as selling points.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/
It didn't even say it was an SMB server, let alone give steps to connect to it. I guess that would cut down on people trying to contact support because it didn't work right...

I asked a friend of mine about it. He used to be a Linksys fan. He says he recently stopped being a Linksys fan and won't buy their stuff anymore. This, despite the fact that he works at Cisco (who owns Linksys)! I used to like Linksys too. But I use Netgear now. And I have an Apple base station. It doesn't do 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz simultaneously (I wish it did), but it does work. I can share a hard drive and a printer from it (simultaneously!) and mount the drive from a Mac and PC successfully.]]>Oct 24th 2007 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/Oct 23rd 2007 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/Oct 23rd 2007 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/ If the airport N base station is price comparable with this one I'd say it was a no-brainer for apple.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/]]>Oct 24th 2007 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/Oct 24th 2007 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/linksys-ships-the-wrt600n-router-and-wpc600n-notebook-adapter/
