Not much difference it seems besides the enclosure and of course the lack of external antennas. Which, based on the specs on Linksys site seem to be a bit inferior to the 600. Quite a bit actually...


Has 64 MB inplace of 600N's 32 MB.

Where'd you read that? (I'm not trying to be mean; I'd just like to know)


Jmh9072, not shure which comment you are referring to but clearly I should elaborate on mine...
When I say the 610 is inferior to the 600 I am talking about the specs on the Radio Performance. Most probably the difference is due to the lack of external antennas on the 610.
There is less detail in the 600 data sheet but what is there tells us that the 600 has a 3,5dBm advantage on 2,4Ghz and possibly even more on the 5Ghz band.
Which is a lot, in fact more or less double the range...

I wasn't referring to your comment, but I do completely agree with what you're saying. Those side antennas can't compete with the antennas on the 600N.

Yes, and sadly no 64MB of RAM will help out in that area...

Just wanted to say I love the 600N

fantastic range (subjective)

a few issues with dd-wrt - dual radio issue and the "blinky light" issue

Has anyone tried svn9856 on it yet?

I am currently using svn9856. The only problem i currently see is the WPA in WDS mode.. (i think this i with the v24 though)

My 610N is up and running now.

Firmware Version: 1.00.00 B16 Jun. 2, 2008

Unfortunately, the laptop's Intel 4965N connects only at 130Mbps max.

Have to try out my new WUSB600N.

You most likely have not set the settings correctly. I have the INTEL 4965N as well and it works at 270Mbps. On the INTEL card check the QoS settings (must be enabled), the channelwidth (Automatic instead of 20MHz). Same goes for the WRT610N.

Yes i get the blinky light issue.. ( power light blinks and the WIFI security lights do not function)

Ii didn't need to do a factory default first.. I opened the box then loaded the trailed version of dd-wrt located here

I then had to clear all the cache out of my browser then i was able update to the latest version

I have since corrected the settings.

5Ghz = N-Only/40 Mhz and
2.4Ghz = G-Only/20Mhz

Both with different SSIDsand my laptops connect at 270Mbps. I badly want to get DD-WRT/Tomato on this.

Kris Just so you know at this time DD-WRT will NOT support speeds over 130Mbps over N..

Thanks for the heads-up.

I would still want get off this unstable Linksys firmware because:

a) Router reboots every few hours.
b) When transferring large files over the N only channel, G channel clients get disconnected completely.

I am tempted to go back to my WHR-G54S for the time being.

All Linksys routers that I have seen have an FCCID of Q87-[model]. So this one has an ID of Q87-WRT610N.
