MacWorld
Issue 9/2008
6 products on test 		3 out of 5 stars
The flying saucer style of the WAG160N makes for an attractive design for a competitive price. MacWorld found it to be slightly complicated to set up and felt it generally lacked the user friendliness that it should have had.
 
PC Pro

6 products on test 		"excellent" (6 out of 6 stars) Value for money: 6 out of 6 stars "Labs Winner", "A List"
PC Pro commends the Linksys WAG160N for striking the perfect balance between good, consistent performance, user-friendliness, and a very reasonable price.
 
Personal Computer World
Publication date 6/2008
Single test 		"Very good" (4 out of 5 Stars) Value for money: 4 out of 5 stars
Even though the exterior may have experienced a style overhaul, Personal Computer World suggests the interface is lagging behind. It does have a lot of options to offer however and the price makes it very affordable, even if it does lack a faster gigabit switch for wired networking.
