To be honest I find no other reason to want the Linksys E3000, than pure and raw need for a better router than the one I’ve got in my home-office. One of the coolest parts is that it looks just like my desktop set-up all down to the LED lights colors. Hope to win it.

Would love to stream my movies without the hiccups!! Pick me!!
Argiris February 1, 2011 at 1:39 pm

I’d love to win the E3000 because I’m stuck with an old slow 802.11g router!
Jeremiah Bolin February 1, 2011 at 3:15 pm

I’d like to get the E3000 because I just upgraded my laptop to the Intel WiFi Link 5300 (from a non-802.11n Intel 4965abg), however, my router is still a Netgear wpn824 (original).
Luke February 1, 2011 at 9:35 pm

I’ve currently only got a Wireless G, and have been looking to upgrade for sometime. Purchased a Belkin but then sold that on as it didn’t fit my needs. I’ve heard massively great things about Linksys but haven’t been able to afford one yet. I would use it for streaming movies and networking to my car so I can sync music to a car pc.

Thanks!

We have a wrt54g v2 and it barely reaches our living room!! We need a wireless N and also i like the design of the new ones.
Magnus Stubman Reichenauer February 2, 2011 at 6:17 am

In everything i do, i believe in challenging. The way i challenge, is by making my code modifiable, secure and portable. This happens to make greate software.
Z Studios February 2, 2011 at 6:59 am

Currently own a Linksys 310N and it has been a truly great. But at the time it was just me using it. Now I have 4 other (graphic artists and web developers working from my home under the same router and we have noticed that we need to upgrade. Also after business hours it is heavily used by my family for homework, emails and streaming movies.

Thanks.
Glenn Van Bogaert February 2, 2011 at 12:00 pm

Hmmm, currently I’m waiting to upgrade my old router so that all my wireless stuff works well without a problem. And it’s a nice addition to have in the office with its design :-)
Liam Hammett February 2, 2011 at 2:17 pm

I have found that I’m lounging about the house with my iPhone and laptop now – having a better wireless router would make a world of difference to me! My current one isn’t the best ever and occasionally crashes, so I suppose it’s time I got a new one anyway.
Belinda M February 3, 2011 at 6:07 am

I would like this because I need a better wireless router than i have now. With an ipad, ipod, ps3, 2 laptops we could use a high quality product
Jeff - cqvoip.net February 3, 2011 at 8:52 am

I’ve used the WRT-54G for a number of years now. It’s time to upgrade to a faster, more capable and versatile and up-to-date router like the E3000.
Aaron February 4, 2011 at 2:21 am

I would love it because I do have so much problems with our D-Link Router here at home – it sucks very much. Would be awesome!
JS February 4, 2011 at 4:09 pm

I just bought a D-link DIR-615 and I haven’t see any improvement in range nor speed over my 5 years old + DI-524. I’m so disappointed.

I have read good review about the Linksys E3000. I want one to get rid of the D-Link.

Je me croise les doigts!

Ed February 6, 2011 at 7:12 am

I would love to have an E3000 because I don’t even have a wireless router.
SweepingMe February 6, 2011 at 2:28 pm

My router is so old and it’s always going out on us. We have to reboot it all the time. This would be great!!!

Ed February 6, 2011 at 2:30 pm

I hope I win this great prize because I am in desperate need of a new router. Good Luck Everyone……..Ed
Beatrice February 6, 2011 at 2:48 pm

I could use a wireless router to avoid a lot of wires in my apartment.
toni johnson February 6, 2011 at 2:56 pm

i would love to upgrade -I have an old linksys 2001 -still working !
Holly February 6, 2011 at 2:59 pm

I would love to win The Linksys E3000 because i need a wireless router so my husband can finally hook up his XBox360 to our computer.We know we want a Linksys after doing alot of research,just can’t afford one yet.
Anna A February 6, 2011 at 3:08 pm

Plain and simple, what is wrong with having the best in life:)
Don February 6, 2011 at 3:26 pm

I’m learning alot about the things that are possible on my computer,and I know that quality equipment helps alot. thank you
Oneita Wilkins February 6, 2011 at 3:38 pm

We have a Linksys now,but it is very outdated. We have 2 desk tops and 5 laptops in our house and need something stronger for our network.
Sharon February 6, 2011 at 4:06 pm

FREEDOM! I bought my first years ago. Time for a much needed upgrade. WOW!
Judith Hopkins February 6, 2011 at 4:51 pm

One day soon I hope to get a laptop and I already have a desktop so I would need a router for sure!
stepvanwolf February 6, 2011 at 5:13 pm

WOW i need that, because i don’t even have a router, i am useing A wI-fI HOTSPOT, which is only luke-warm.So please tell the powers that be to hook me up. SCOTTIE.
Candice February 6, 2011 at 5:14 pm

I could really use a high performance router because I share my internet connection with a couple of my neighbors and a high performance router could definitely benefit me!
RD February 6, 2011 at 5:24 pm

I’d love to win because my neighbors are tired of supporting my internet habit. They gave me the password and helped me at the store to buy what was needed, but alas I’ve worn out my free ride. Besides, what I’m using doesn’t always pick up the best signal as they are across the street. ; ) It’s not stealing when they give you permission and are aware of the usage.
Christina February 6, 2011 at 7:08 pm

Winning a Linksys E3000 would be awesome, since I would love to upgrade to wireless. Especially for my sons DSI XL. And I never really won anything.
April Uncapher February 6, 2011 at 7:27 pm

I liked you on Facebook. I would like to win for my husband as he is the computer techno gurro of the household and would definately use it.
gurpreet February 6, 2011 at 7:50 pm

pannme February 6, 2011 at 7:55 pm

Son-in-law convinced hubby to buy me a Belkin. :-( Wish he would have listened to me! LINKSYS is the best router there can be!
Janice February 6, 2011 at 8:43 pm

following @LinksysCanada as @cappytweet

I’d love to win the Linksys E3000 High Performance Wireless-N Router because our Netgear keeps losing connection, and we have to reset the connection constantly. Definitely time to replace it!
Barbara Hanson February 6, 2011 at 9:46 pm

This would be great, I would love to win this.
Barbi Sanders February 6, 2011 at 9:50 pm

I have so many problems wih the D-Link Router as well. This would same me so much time and aggrevasion.
Daniel February 6, 2011 at 11:06 pm

Because all my routers have been Linksys so far, the one that I have is 5 yo so I could use an upgrade.
Thanks
LSC February 6, 2011 at 11:21 pm

I currently am using a Linksys router, but I would like to upgrade to a newer version that would have a broader range. The signal is inconsistent, and it would be great to have one that is more dependable.
Jaesarr De Guzman February 7, 2011 at 1:31 am

I’ve always wanted to buy a CISCO Linksys brand router but could never really afford one. Being in the Philippines and all, taxes make them too expensive. To win this, would be sweet.
Rachel February 7, 2011 at 4:12 am

I am in the real estate business and a better wireless router is essential.
SHIREY S. February 7, 2011 at 5:20 am

This a great router, I would love to win an E3000 Wireless router, since mine is oh so very old……
Marlene West February 7, 2011 at 5:57 am

I would like the Linksys 3000 for I believe it is the top of the line. It would improve the performance from what I have. I am a retired person & like to look different things up & play games . I believe the Linksys 300 would make my time I spend on here more pleasant & faster
Terry Cover February 7, 2011 at 7:35 am

This would be so nice to be able to upgrade to some thing which is a heck of a lot smother.then this Pawn Shop item I am using
daveD February 7, 2011 at 9:16 am

I have seen the Linksys E3000 in use at a friend’s house and can’t believe how fast the throughput is. I would LOVE to win one of these so that all my devices in the house would run as fast as his. Thanks, Linksys for the opportunity to participate in this contest.
Debra Guillen February 7, 2011 at 9:25 am

Currently using a “dinosaur” wired router…would LOVE to upgrade!
dawn February 7, 2011 at 10:58 am

kirk lund February 7, 2011 at 3:42 pm

Todd February 7, 2011 at 6:32 pm

Hipsterdufus February 8, 2011 at 10:42 am

Me likee chance fur anyting free. What is dis router thang anyhoo? Me kiddin of course…or not.
Steve February 8, 2011 at 2:05 pm

My current router (also a Linksys) is acting a little flukey lately, so winning a replacement (one that is an upgrade to the current one, at that.) would be awesome.
Riley February 9, 2011 at 1:25 pm

I want to win because I’d like a wireless-n router to better stream HD content over my network.
Kyle Stroud February 9, 2011 at 6:21 pm

This is a great router by looks and specs. I sure would like to win it! My other two routers are both Linksys.
James February 10, 2011 at 7:09 am

Still running with a router/modem from the home phone company, wouldn’t dare try streaming any content from PC – PS3 etc. as I know it would just fall over…been looking for an upgrade(for quite sometime!), if it happens to come for free well I’ll manage – sooooo….
Patricia Huffman February 10, 2011 at 9:41 am

would love a new router especially a good one.
Patricia Huffman February 10, 2011 at 9:42 am

i am following and my reason is because my current one really isn’t giving me the power i need. constantly loosing connection.
teresa February 13, 2011 at 5:20 am

Jessica Marinaccio February 14, 2011 at 10:44 am

Kevin Copelin February 15, 2011 at 5:37 pm

I have a Linksys! I would love a new one! I’ll probably buy a couple more eventually anyway, but it’s always great to test the market! Thanks!
deon lawson February 15, 2011 at 6:16 pm

Thanks
Ron M February 18, 2011 at 3:43 pm

I want to win the Linksys E3000 because, well honestly, because it’s just sexy as hell! But I could definitely use an upgrade in my wireless hardware and it would be awesome to stream media to my PS3.

Thanks for the contest!
Stephen Donaldson February 18, 2011 at 9:45 pm

Tired of losing signal with my old wireless g router. This would bring me into the 21st century.
Margaret Porter February 20, 2011 at 7:40 pm

I have a netgear router that is wired to my system and it doesnt work half the time. Would love to win this!
Ruthie February 20, 2011 at 7:43 pm

I’d love to win this because the one we have, we are pulling signals for our laptop, PS3, XBox 360, desktop and iPhone. I cannot imagine the difference this router would make in our lives!!
LaVonne T. February 20, 2011 at 7:43 pm

I would love to win as we seriously need to upgrade our current router. It can’t handle everything we need anymore (we’ve had our current linksys for almost 4 years).
Martha Boismier February 20, 2011 at 7:47 pm

I have 1 of the OLD Linksy’s-wireless-G2.4Ghz..It sortof works now and then.I could really use a new one.
Jackie M February 21, 2011 at 12:33 am

Wow, such a great router; I would love to have one to connect with my BlueRay and start streaming movies!
Sandwichguytx February 21, 2011 at 4:32 pm

Linksys E3000 is a better router than the one I’ve got in my home-office for all of my business.

Amie February 22, 2011 at 12:30 am

Christy Kelly February 22, 2011 at 7:04 am

I would like to win this router because I have used lynksys in the past and they I think they make truly wonderful products. Plus I can not afford a new router right now and this would really help me out!!!
Brian Leary February 22, 2011 at 7:44 am

cause’ I don’t have one!
Chen Que February 22, 2011 at 6:42 pm

I have been a fan of Cisco since I was a kid, and even dreamed of working there as soon as I get a degree in Computer Engineering. I’m also amazed by the different workstation setups being showcased here in your guys’ website. ^_^ Thanks for bringing such a wonderful entertainment! I would love to have this router because my current router (a WRT54G) is # years old now (I can’t even remember when we bought it!) and I believe it needs to rest now. My friend brought his Linksys router (similar to this one, but different color) and I was so amazed by how fast the new routers of Linksys are now, compared to what we have. Plus! This one has a media server. It would be nice to share files with my other siblings without wasting bandwidth, or spending time storing media in a USB. Thanks workstationsetups.com and Cisco for this wonderful giveaway! Win or not, you guys are awesome. Keep it up!
lissette nelson February 22, 2011 at 7:18 pm

Mike February 23, 2011 at 8:00 am

I would love to make a comparison between my single band 300Mbps wireless n router to see what this dual band beauty brings more to my dual band notebook card and give you back a table with the numbers for different locations:
– in the same room,
– same floor with 1 wall
– same floor with 2 walls and
– same floor with 3 walls in between.
Thank you workstationsetups.com

great product indeed and highly recommended
Laurie E R February 23, 2011 at 5:24 pm

The router (netgear) I have was given to me by Comcast to use free for a year but I have to give it back at the end of the term. I know that Linksys routers are the best but I am in a financial crisis right now and can’t afford to buy one and would love to win the Linksys E3000..
Judee February 23, 2011 at 7:16 pm

I love new gadgets.
ian February 23, 2011 at 7:16 pm

Dolores February 23, 2011 at 7:17 pm

I don’t have a router. This would allow me to use a laptop in any room.
Robyn E. February 24, 2011 at 12:48 am

I do not have a router, so really need one ! This looks great and seems like it would do the
job. The sleek design is nice, no ugly like other router’s I have seen .
Thanks for the chance !

Margie Shook February 25, 2011 at 4:01 am

I just got a laptop and no router. I could use this one to surf the internet anywhere in my house.
Lori Williams February 25, 2011 at 1:17 pm

We still have dial-up….UGH!! We have been trying to get all the things we need in order to get highspeed and this would definitely help us accomplish that! Money is very tight, as is with everyone so this would be a great help!! Thanks!
Gary G February 25, 2011 at 3:33 pm

The best things in life are free and winning a Linskeys wireless would make it that much sweeter.

Mary R. February 27, 2011 at 8:07 am

My husband and sons are the Geek Guys. I just know that we desperatedly need a better router. This one looks and sounds geeky enough for them. Thanks
Will M February 27, 2011 at 9:40 am

We’d love a Linksys E3000, our old Netgear thing is ready for retirement, and built in USB would let us share the external HDD instead of fighting over it!
John Gulich February 27, 2011 at 10:40 pm

Linksys is the top brand in electronics, and they’re a brand that’s all about quality. When you buy anything made by Linksys, you know that you’re getting a reliable, advanced, superior piece of equipment with the best performance. I’d love to win a Linksys E3000 High Performance Wireless-N Router, because my router constantly drops my wireless signal, and I need a router that I can depend on.
