i've got this running tomatousb. works great, great coverage.
I will never buy a Linksys again. I've owned three over the years, very spotty performance from each. Just replaced my last -- a WRT160N -- with a D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router. Works way better than the Linksys
Crap, will they price adjust if I bought last week?
Spec wise- it's pretty good- simultaneous dual band, gigabit LAN, DD-wrt compatible.. --- it can be a great bridge router ( use DD-wrt of course)
However I don't really like Linksys internal antenna design- there is no option to upgrade or even adjust the antenna to different direction. That limits the placement possibility of this router. Even not bad price here but I will pass.
You can modify the E3000 to use 7dBi external antennas for around $23. No soldering is required. Search eBay for "E3000 Antenna Kit" to see listings with the required cables and antennas.
Note that this requires opening the router which voids the warranty. A refurbished E3000 would probably be better for this.
someone said D-link....yuck...stay far away from that brand whatever you do. Don't link Cisco/Linksys? they look at Asus or Netgear but never D-Link.

You can do it cheaper than $23, there's nothing special about the kit and the $23 seller shows pictures about what to do for those who can't figure it out. Ebay lists a couple RP-SMA pigtails, 2 pack is about $4 delivered. Make sure to measure how long the cable on them needs to be.
A couple 7dBi antennas are about $5 ea/$10, so $14 total OR the option to use a different type or size antenna too. Of course the antenna needs to be RP-SMA type too, to match the pigtail.
