Wireless-N Dual-Band HD Router

Customer Reviews

Great buy, few notes. Review by p0litik

Been using this router for 9 months now. Great wireless performance. Very reliable operation, very few times I have needed to reboot the unit. Would be 5 stars had it been equiped with a Gigabit switch. The 100Mb switch makes using the USB port for file sharing limited.

RECOMMENDED.

Great Router and simple to install Review by kms

Great Router for the prize - it does provide best connectivity than my previous routers. Can stream HD movies with no issues.
Has capability of having more than one wireless network.
Best of all has the USB port that could support network drives... so no issues to share files within your wireless network

fixed connection problems Review by hapless

I don't expect you would post my 1st review because it wasn't complimentary, but I wanted to update you anyway. I eventually figured out how to connect my HD Tivo, Wii, and PS3 without finding any assistance on your website. It's working fine now, so I will keep it.
It would have been helpful to find an online manual explaining the reason to activate all of the network settings; Because each of my toys used a different band.

can't get connected Review by hapless

I didn't realize that I had bought a second hand router until I started to cut the packaging and saw that it had been resealed. Now, I understand why someone before me had returned it, because I will do the same on Monday if Visio tech support can't remedy this intolerable situation. Set was easy for my PC and laptop, but I can't get my PS3, Wii, nor HD Tivo to find it. The claims of easy setup are a myth.

Beats them all Review by ernie

For months I have been having problems with my internet. It either takes forever to load, freezes, or will not go to a secondary web site. I brought two different wilreless routers top of the line D-Link and Belkin. I also had the cable company replace my modem and connectors. Nothing seemed to correct my problems.

Then I brought a XWR 100 Vizio router. I have three Vizio LCD TV and they have been wonderful. The Vizio router is outstanding. It has solved all my problems. The signal is better that my other routers going through three concrete floors. Installation was automatic and very easy.I used the default settings. Much faster than going through customer service to make the others try to work.

Shot in the dark pays off!!! Review by Fezwon

I bought this router about a year ago not even needing a new. But after reading what it could do on the box, and a little research online, I took a chance and bought one. Best router I've ever had. Streams Netflix to my PS3 in HD quality!! Not to mention the 5GHZ band took surfing the internet and downloading to a whole new level. I recommend this router to anyone, and have. It's nice to not have to worry about my homes networking anymore! Cant wait for Vizio to make a USB adapter to go with it.

BY FAR THE BEST VALUE ON THE MARKET! Review by KMag357

I LOVE THIS ROUTER! Although my Atheros WLAN card would only support the 2.4Ghz N, I simply spent $15.00 on Ebay and upgraded to the dual band Atheros card and I now get the 5Ghz N! WOW! Truly amazing! Downloads are SUPER FAST and setup was EASY! I cannot commend Vizio enough on this router!! Thanks!

Good Router Review by Wolfstep

I have been a Linksys user for many years. Until now.

I purchased a Samsung BluRay player and needed to connect it to my Linksys network. I found the XWR100 at Sam Club and found its features nice with an attractive chassis. Its ability to have 3 seperate channels so I can move the not so important devices to the slower channel an added benifit.

I also liked the ability to add an external USB device and share it was a great benefit.

The one thing I found I didnt like was that I had a difficult time connecting certain devices to the faster channel.

The menu really needs work. Hard to navigate to what you are looking for. So for that I give the device a 'D'. However the other configurabilities are nice. It would be nice if the was a better flow to the setup portion of the system.

I also would like to see the router have the ability to get more feedback to the log and monitor the data flow.

But over all I am thrilled with the router over all. I am sure that as Vizio matures its product line, Linksys wil have to look over its shoulder.

Fantastic Device! Review by ChrisM

I too am coming off using my old Dlink workhorse that was rock solid for ages. And still works perfectly, but I got this new Vizio router as an early birthday gift from my wife, and have to say it is one of the best gifts I have gotten in a long time. I saw a HUGE increase in network performance right away. Connected my 2.5" 500Gig Acer external drive to the USB port and gained a media server. The wifi range is excellent, I was thinking of using the Dlink as an AP / range extender, but there is no need, the Vizio is getting into corners I never could with the Dlink.
Nice sleek shiny look, this is so worth the $59.00 CDN @ Walmart.
Blu-Ray is next on the list for upgrading, and now will be looking to Vizio products for most of my future electronic purchases. Keep up the good work.

It Just Worked Review by mrau

I had an older wireless router, that has been a work horse for years. Recently it started failing and needed to be rebooted every few days. I didn't mind rebooting it, but once I bought a new blu-ray player, I had trouble connecting it to the internet. With this in mind, I decided to buy this router. It just worked. I shut everything down, plugged everything together and turned everything back on. I followed the directions, and within 30 minutes, my blu-ray player, smart phone, laptop, and all of my other wireless electronics were talking on the internet. Good job Vizio.
