back-to-schoolWhen it comes to school supplies, in 2011, Back-to-School means a lot more than just paper, crayons and pencils.    Technology is a HUGE part of our childrens’ lives AND educations.  Whether they attend public or private school or are homeschooled, our kids work with computers, the Internet and related technology on a daily basis.  As parents, knowing which equipment they need, has value and is reliable, can sometimes be a challenge.

I wouldn’t call myself a techie, by any stretch of the imagination, but let’s just say our family has been using home computers since before there was a Windows.  :)   Our two oldest daughters did elementary school on a green screen monitor and in MS-DOS.  In first grade our second daughter was typing game codes out in BASIC, to install them, before she could play.  She even wrote a few programs in that ancient language.

Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Dual-Band N Router - Be sure to enter to win one in the giveaway at the end of this post!

I upload, download, install software and troubleshoot basic computer problems (and for tough ones I have built-in personal tech support from two learned brothers-in-law!).  I have no problems opening up and upgrading computers, installing memory, new CD drives or hard drives and I can install most peripherals without much difficulty.  I have a rough idea of what internal components I want when I’m looking for a new computer and I taught myself HTML back in 1997, so I could build a curriculum business website.   I can FTP files where I want them to go and after some training from my kids, I Facebook and Twitter with the best of them.  I connected and secured our home network for our PC, 4 laptops, 2 game systems and wireless printer.  I don’t tell you all these things to boast, but to establish a modicum of credibility when it comes to discussing a topic that we haven’t covered in much depth, here at Busy-at-Home, home computing.  Now, that I have established, that, I want you to understand that I know very little about the technical side of making an internet connection faster.  I just know that I expect it.  :)

What I do know, with absolute certainty, is that when it comes to Internet speed and reliability, I’m sort of a snob.  I don’t know how to make it happen, but I certainly expect my ISP and equipment to deliver it.  lol  With all the jobs I do in our home, plus homeschooling and blogging, plus the activities I and our kids are involved in outside of home, I have no patience with slow or unreliable Internet connections.  Whether I am uploading pictures to edit for the blog or the kids are doing research for  a school project or even just streaming some video, I need it to work and I need it quick.  We could never go back, now that we have had cable internet for so many years.  There is simply no comparison in the speeds between it and even the best dial-ups.  However, no matter how fast your cable ISP can feed the connection TO your equipment,  the equipment you run it through can definitely make a huge difference in the speed you actually experience as you are computing.  So, one, you need a quality, high-speed modem and two, if you are like our family, running a huge network of computers, peripherals, game systems, iPads and fancy phones, you need a fabulous router.  You need a router that disseminates that signal to each and every device with speed and reliability.

We have used a Cisco Linksys router for years, to network our equipment.  We’ve always been pleased with it’s speed and reliability –  until Monday.  That was the day I hooked up our router’s super-buff big brother; and I believe I have achieved a whole new level of Internet speed expectations.  :)   The Linksys E4200 Router from Cisco already had me impressed, right out of the box.  It’s sleek and modern and super lightweight.  It looked great, but we all know that looks are only skin deep.  It’s what’s inside that counts!  I resolved to get it connected and set up.  This “laborious” process took me close to … 10 minutes!  And, that’s only because I was stopping to take blurry less than optimally focused pictures of every single step!  My only issue, in the process, was getting my camera to take a sharp image of the computer monitor.  The router setup was a cinch!  Cisco nailed the simplicity factor on this one!  My ThisMoment slideshow will walk you through the process, step-by-step, with pictures.  You can watch below, or click here to view it full-screen with larger text.

According to Cisco, “The Linksys E4200 wireless router is perfect for anyone interested in building the ultimate connected home. The E4200 is the first building block that can handle gaming consoles, HDTV streaming video, Roku boxes, eReaders, smartphones, and any other wireless device that needs screaming connectivity. Also, with back to school fast approaching, now is a great time for parents to make sure their homes are well-equipped for their kids to succeed academically and maximize learning from home to school.  A simple and cost-effective way to make the home an ideal learning environment is to transform the home into a learning hotspot with home wireless.

Today’s middle and high school students have grown up with mobile technology and feel most comfortable in a wireless environment for anytime/anywhere studying, interactive web research, easy collaboration and communication and parent accessibility.  The wireless home learning environment also more closely aligns with how they use technology at school. The Linksys E4200 Router from Cisco lets parents easily set, use and manage their own home wireless. The E4200 is also perfect for college students setting up wireless in their first home away from home.”

For our family, homeschooling, blogging or just surfing the web, the Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Dual-Band N Router improves our efficiency, because it has improved our network speed.  I still don’t understand all the technical jargon on Internet speed.  I just know mine is much faster.  I truly did consider that maybe I was just so excited, I was seeing an increase that I wanted to see; but I was completely convinced of the truth of it, when our 15-year-old son wanted to know if I had “tweeked” his computer while he was at work.  According to him, “Everything is running better and faster.”  My husband echoed the same conclusion, when he got home from work.  This is one piece of technology I can endorse with confidence.  Our family loves it!

    We have three computers, with two teenagers always on the comupter I sure could use a faster connection. My children use it to download music, watch videos on YouTube, play games and I use mine to go on Facebook and visit my favoritre blogs. My current router is always freezing, and it makes my computer run so slow this Linksys E4200 would make my life so much easier.

  40. Let’s see, we have my main computer, hubby’s laptop, the kids (very old) computer, my ipad 2 and 2 smartphones as well as the wii that all share wifi. When anyone comes over, they also connect to my wifi. With a family of 6 and me being a blogger, someone is ALWAYS on the computer. A faster connection would be extremely helpful!

    Our current router is not able to handle our current load — or so it seems — so this product sounds ideal! We have Hubby’s desktop, my laptop, my ipad, my smart phone, his smart phone for work, his smart phone for “home” … and probably a few more I’m forgetting! I’m definitely the heaviest user, with my blogging and social media addiction, but hubby has been known to be glued to his screen for hours at a time…. My girls occasionally use my computer for school, also.

    We have both of our laptops and desktop PCs, my MacBook Pro, a laser printer, two blu-ray players, and our smart phones connected to our home network (which doubles for our work network since we both are in media studies and watch videos, TV, and movies for our jobs). Having a faster wireless connection would be a huge plus because we do a lot of streaming and downloading, often at the same time, which leads to competition for bandwidth and eventually frustration for both of us. It would be great to be more efficient and have better speeds and quality, especially for HD video. Thanks!

    Although my home network is small (my computer, my cell phone, and my Roku device), it’s become an integral part of my life. I use my computer to connect with the word, play games, connect with work, enter contests and giveaways, and be a database for everything. The wireless saves me money on the data plan on my cell phone since most data usage is free when using a wireless connection. And streaming movies and TV shows on my Roku keeps me entertained when I exercise and when I want to relax. So, I have grown dependent on my wireless network. Thanks for the opportunity to win a Linksys E4200 Max Performance Dual-Band N Router!

    We have 7 devices including 2 laptops, ipad, smartphones & a gaming system. We use it mostly for hobbies & a little bit of work. Mostly for surfing the internet, gaming or streaming videos. Our laptops & routers are really,really old & very slow & outdated! We’ll be way more productive freeing up our time & alot happier & less frustrated & cranky & have more quality time to spend together as a family!

  144. Off the top of my head at least 5 devices/computers. The number is probably closer to 10. I stream movies/shows via netflix to my wii device. I use my computer for gaming, blogging, surfing the web, email, etc. A faster connection would be welcomed for sure. thanks!

  145. Nancy Reid says:

    We have 3 computers in our home network and it seems like we are always on some type of holding pattern if we are all online at once, especially if some one is downloading a huge file. Our computers are used for everything from real estate business, school, entertainment and sweepstaking! A faster network would help us accomplish much more in a shorter period of time and facilitate family harmony as well!

    We have four computers at home. One for the “grown-ups” and one for each child. The children do school work with theirs, plus the usual email and social networking. My husband and I check work email at home.

    We also have a PS3 which is used for games, DVD’s and Netflix. I imagine our network is out of date and sometimes it seems like things take forever. I would love to have a little more speed.

  197. Chris Ann says:

    We have three computers on our home network. Use for work, school (has yet to start), email, recipes, online calendar, social networks, streaming tv and movies, news and a few games.
    It has almost become impossible to watch even a youtube video as the computer freezes during the streaming the audio continues but the video does not. Very frustrating – a new router would help this issues.

    I just followed “Busy at Home” on twitter. I wonder how many moms like me are the home IT department and how many, like me, cringe when they hear, “Mom, the Internet’s slow again” bellowed from another room. The E4200 seems like just the kind of firepower all IT moms need in their network arsenal.

  206. Rick McClenthen says:

    We have 2 laptops, 2 iPods and 3 desktop computers. Occaisionally, there are more in the house as I am techie who will fix computers for friends. Most of my computers are older. The have hi-speed network cards in them for transferring video and image files and the Gigabit Etherner ports would take advantage of the gigabits card in these odler computers for faster file transfer. My current router does not have Dual Band N capabilities,which is the bottle neck when transfering files from my laptop wirelessly. The Linksys E4200 would not only reduce the time required to transfer files from my laptop, but also provide a greater transmission range. I also like the USB storage port, but that is another story….

    I also would expect to see an improvement when my family is surfing the net on their ipods.

Sometimes I get snippits during the day and when my connection is down or slow, I get so frustrated that I ususally have to give up and come back to it later. A faster connection could help me get much more done for blogging, emails, etc. Also to get photos to the nagging grandparents! lol

We use the computers for work, school, games, music and surfing the net for whatever we may need. The phones are used for looking up something quick if need be or playing games. The game systems the kids use to play against their friends or just someone on line so it’s not so boring playing the computer. It would help with everything running faster. games will be faster and it would be easier for the kids to play wirelessly. better range for the game systems and the cell phones.

    I have 5 computers, 1 PSP, 2 XBoxes, 1 Playstation, 1 Ipod touch hooked into my home network. They are used for homeschool, games, blogs, sweepstaking, personal use, music and work. A faster network would make it all more efficient, less stressful and save time.

    I use my network for school and gaming. A new router would really help replace the last one that got blown out from a series of power outtages and spikes in the last few weeks.

  342. Michael P says:

    There are 6 computers on my home network. I use the Internet for school and work. A better router would benefit me as I barely get a wireless signal in my room and we have a quite obsolete old router with bad range for our house. I also like “Cisco Linksys” on Facebook.

    My network is primarily used by myself but I’m a student in a dorm and my wireless network ends up being shared by up to 15 others depending on where our study groups are :) . A faster network would help us a lot with our studies AND our relaxing – everything from submission of papers online, to downloading and reading articles from libraries internationally, to watching a movie on Netflix!

  345. John Hamilton says:

    We have 3 desktops and 1 laptop in our home network. Our current router is an old Microsoft wired basestation. This router would be a great upgrade and increase our speeds!

I retired recently from teaching and used my computer for work. I am a recent culinary graduate and will use it for work. I also use my computer for down time such as games and sweepstakes. A faster connection would speed up work time, freeing up more time for fun things.

  369. jason wessendorf says:

    One desktop, two laptops, one Ipod touch = everything on our network.The kids use all but one of the laptops for school, and for games. Our special needs kid actually uses the Ipod touch and many of its applications for school as well. A faster connection would help us to be able to better be online together, at the same time. Thanks!

  370. My home network is very small, just 2 laptops, the roku box and our 3 smartphones. occasionally my ipod touch, but with our horrible netgear router, we lose connection alot. With a better connection I might actually be able to pay the bills while our roomate applies for jobs in the other room and my husband is able to watch Grey`s Anatomy on the roku box, without yelling…without seeing who can log on the fastest!

    We serve an old dinasaur PC and a laptop, plus my husband brings work to do at home sometimes on his work laptop. He also has a smart phone. 2 kids have their itouches but they arent allowed to go online with them when were are using computer, as they “knock” connection out for some reason.

    My name is Chris we have a computer, 2 laptops, and 2 ipod touch’s. Currently we have big issues with our router because it is “poisoned” and have trouble accessing the internet. It works when it wants to. I would greatly appreciate this router because i need it for college and my sister needs it for her senior year in high school. We use the internet for social activites as well. With this router i will be able to finish my homework alot faster since it will have a better internet connection. Thanks for letting me have a chance to win this.

We also own a printing , mailing company that is suffering because we are unable to work on customer requests at the same time. If we had a router, we would be able to get more work done AND ace our Fall and Spring classes.

  401. Steph C says:

    We have one laptop and one desktop on our network, this would really help us stream videos from Netflix as we’re running newer systems but an old netgear router (G) We use it for a little bit of everything.

  402. Casey Dubiel says:

    We currently have five devices in our home network. I have two devices. My wife has one laptop and our daughter has a mini netbook. Our daughter uses the netbook primarily for school and surfing in general. I use one laptop for work and my Ipad2 for surfing in general. My wife’s laptop is used for some Zynga games on Facebook and general social networking. Our current provider is of moderate speed. Improving our connection speed in any way would increase everyone’s enjoyment of the games and programs that they use. Personally, for me, the work stuff would load and process a little faster leaving me more time to do the things that I consider to be fun.

    We have over eleven items on our home network, including smart phones, desktop pc’s, a home network server, a netbook, a notebook, and a gaming console. We use the network for everything, but mostly school and gaming. The current router we use needs to be reset at least once per day sometimes more depending on wireless usage. Having a new router would help when only one person is having difficulties but needs to boot everybody in order to reset the router.

    #1 Hi there! *waves* I’m so excited for this giveaway. We totally need this and I hope I’ll win. Thanks for the giveaway btw.

    You see, there’s 2 desktop computers here and a laptop. And we can’t use all of them at the same because our network connection is soooo slow. It’s hard, I mean, the kids have to use the computer to do homeworks, I need to use it too to contact my business clients, and sometimes there’s grandpa and grandmama needing to call our relatives through magicjack that needs the use of the computers too. It’s really complicated. I’ve been planning to buy something like this soon and I’m so glad that I saw this first, I just hope and pray that I win. Thanks again. Best of luck to all of us.

    hello, i have 3 desktop custom built computers in my house, and 3 laptops (they are not all mine of course) We use a level-one wireless router currently, it is rather old and only supports speeds up to 54mbps.

    3 of the desktop computers are used for gaming mostly or watching netflix, only one laptop can play 3d games, the other 2 are small netbooks but are good for surfing the internet, watching youtube, that sort of thing.

    How many computers and devices are there in your home network? Hello! My wife and two daughters and myself have a total of tow computers on a Internet connection. My wife is a second grade teacher and she uses our net connection every day for her work. I also use the net as I am currently trying to find a new job! My two daughters are in 4th grade and 1st grade; the fourth grader has a lot of Internet dependent work. And the first grader is just starting to get into the Internet and computer in general. A faster net connection would help us immeasurably as we also have a net-book with WiFi, but we are unable to use this feature because we can’t afford to buy a wireless router right now. So, needless to say we could definitely use this router!

  444. Norris says:

    4 workstations and 1 laptop on the network. Two of the workstations are hard wired but the ones in each of the kids rooms are using a usb wireless adapter. The issue is that because it’s an old house the wireless router I have doesn’t have a strong enough signal to go through the walls to their rooms. This would solve that problem. Thanks.

    We have a desktop and a laptop. We use them for daily business, gaming, watching TV, ect, and we need a new router so this would be awesome! momlovesdeals at gmail dot com

  486. Ron Painter says:

    Three computers and one network laser printer on my home network.
    The router would help speed all of them along .

  487. Amy Lynn W says:

    How many computers and devices are there in your home network? 3 laptops, 1 tivo, 1 xbox360, 1 wii, 1 ps3, one Android phone, one Android tablet, one iPad tablet. 10 total!

    I use my home network for work, the kids use it for school, I use it to surf the web, everyone uses it for Netflix and Tivo, streaming youtube and various tv shows, and everyone uses it for the gaming systems. A faster network would mean we could watch a movies while someone else is using a bandwith intensive site/system and not have everything freezing up to buffer constantly!

  488. Gayle C says:

    We have 5 different devices that access the router at times. We use them for work, play and movies. A faster connection would help us work more efficiently and download movies faster to the Roku.
