Major Disappointment
(1 out of 5) by Ted Kastelic on Mar 7, 2009 (San Jose, CA)I ordered a complete Linksys system including the dual N Band wireless router to make sure I had the best wireless connection and bandwidth. The router worked fine. I spent three whole days trying to get the director/conductor to work. They wouldn't. I spent over 9 hours with three different tech support people at Linksys and still couldn't get it to work. It has been THE most frustrating experience with consumer electronics I've ever had and I've had some doozies.
Bottom line - I sent them back. Bought a Sonos system. It took 15 minutes to set up. It'w worked flawlessly. I'm using my iTouch to control it and it works better than ths Cisco controller and costs the same.
Obviously others have had a better experience, but if you look on AVS forum you'll find a lot of others had the same issues I did.
good luck

Awesome!!!
(5 out of 5) by A. Siegal on Jan 28, 2009 (CO, USA)For a while I was looking for a way to stream all my music through the house and also have access to international radio stations without having to use my laptop to listen to them. This is a wonderful alternative to the Sonos Audio System. It is less expensive compared to Sonos, very easy to install, and I didn't even need the ipod accesory since I have my itunes library on my time capsule and the Linksys director was able to read it and access my tunes. Just make sure to install the cd first and follow the instructions exactly because I tried to skip a step configuring it wirelessly and I wasn't able to. RadioTime is awesome!
Also make sure you get the kit (with speakers) otherwise the director alone won't do it unless you have other speakers around the house that you can connect to the standard output cables.
