They could be removed and replaced with other antennas. The antennas on these are integral to the case (no connectors), which prevents replacing them easily with higher gain antennas (which I have from the WRT54G/GL routers I had been using). Apparently Linksys has been gradually phasing out antennas with connectors that allows them to be removed and replaced with different antennas . . . and even newer units (like the WRT160N) have internal antennas.Other than the integral antennas, these are great routers at a great price (it's gone up a tad since I bought mine). Stock menu system is typical Linksys with some added features/options specific to draft-n. Tested them with Linksys firmware and then flashed them with Sveasoft Talisman Basic. Set them up for draft-n, but otherwise configured them for the same Wireless Distributed System (WDS) the pair of WRT54GL had been used for. Synced together immediately and all the client devices connected. I've got the same system that was running at "g" speed with about 25 Mbps end-user data throughput upgraded to "draft-n" at about 75-100 Mbps end-user data throughput (depends on distance of client to closest router) -- all with WPA2-AES security. Quite noticeably faster than the 802.11g system it replaced, and extremely reliable.Note that actual end-user data throughput is always about half of the "signaling" rate . . . regardless of router or firmware (e.g. 54 Mbps is the maximum signaling rate for 802.11g -- max actual end-user data throughput is about half that).While I can cite the stability and reliability of the hardware, I won't remark on the stability of the stock Linksys firmware . . . because I didn't use these long enough with Linksys firmware before flashing them with custom firmware.I will ultimately modify these -- after the warranty runs out -- by removing the integral antennas and replacing them with RPTNC connectors to allow reusing the high-gain antennas I had been using on the routers they replaced.

Anderson4.0 out of 5 starsLynksys 150N wirless router November 16, 2008Verified Purchasethe Lynksys 150N, like the Dlink DR625, are very reliable N class wireless router products. I own both. The Lynksys is a slightly easier router to setup, but with the install disks, followed strictly, both work well. I have had to call Dlink help to tweak the DR625 to get best results-excellent support. The LInksys 150N, installed at my sons in California, failed in slightly under a year.Linksys support was fabulous, thorough and replaced the entire router without question after a diagnostic (latest revision, reset, re-install). The failure should not be viewed as a negative towards the product.The refurbished router supplied worked out of the box. For both systems it is preferred to use the installation encryption password vs using your own (also usually easy when adding additional computers). it is also recommended that these devises be plugged into a uninteruptable power supply (UPS)to ensure protection from power surges. It is also normal to periodically reboot both the router and modem to re-set the link to the internet. Kids, downloading and gaming can bog you down, so a reboot helps flush the system out. Very good quality, performance and cost. Great value! Also my experience dealing with Amazon is "A1" and a great combination for buying trusted products from a trusted vendor. A true one stop shop!

Harris4.0 out of 5 starsDon't fear the refurb November 16, 2008Verified PurchaseI bought this to use as a wireless repeater/bridge and network hub. I cannot comment about the stock firmware because I flashed it with DD-WRT, a free firmware replacement, immediately after powering up the unit.The range of this is better than the wireless-G unit that I was previously using (not a DD-WRT capable device) and the unit is much more stable. The added bandwidth provided by the wireless-N is very noticeable.In the two months it has been running, I had to forcefully reboot this unit, by unplugging it, three times. Two of them were for changing settings to avoid interference with other wireless devices that popped up in the area. The third reboot was a lack of response from the unit which appears to have been caused by overheating. I have since repositioned it for better ventilation and have had no further problems.At the refurb price this unit is hard to beat. You don't need to spend big bucks on units with the fancy network settings when you can add those to this one with a simple flash and reset. Add a second flashing if you want to upgrade to the "std" DD-WRT (with even more features) instead of the default "mini" installation.The only downside to this unit would be the non-removable antennas. These are common to most Linksys devices and most people would not need to replace them. Read more 3 people found this helpful Helpful Comment Report abuse C. Logan5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent router as long as you change the firmware March 28, 2009Verified PurchaseAs most people stated earlier, you should absolutely buy this router and then flash it with DD-WRT firmware. In case you don't know how, then search for it on Google. As most other instructions will tell you, first flash using the mini_generic version of DD-WRT, then (if you want the full version of the firmware) the flash your upgraded router with the std_generic version of it.I'm able to run my router for months on end without having a single problem. I have a Macbook and it connects to it every time without fuss. My connections are fast and usually are at about 130 Mbps.Again, this router is amazing (as long as you upgrade the firmware). I'm not sure I would even bother with the default Linksys firmware based on the problems I've read about.So, if this is at a good price, go ahead and buy it. Once you get it, make sure you either flash the hardware yourself or get one of those nerdy computer-geek kids in your family to do it. Trust me, it's much better!
