The e2000 is the updated version of the wrt320n. In fact the e2000 has a 64k nvram vs the 32 that the wrt320n has so you can get a wrt320n for cheap and flash it (with a little work) to the e2000.
The cisco connect software MUST be used if you want to use the guest account "feature" as it will not work if you manually configure the router. Also the 2.4ghz band is faster than the 5 ghz band but it is a nice router with the internal antenna's not as powerful as devices with external antenna's.
Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router
The Cisco Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router is the fastest router we've seen in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and will definitely make home users happy with its easy-to-use setup software. Advanced users, however, might find its desktop software and Web interface combination a little disjointed.

CNET Review
The Good: The Cisco Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router offers excellent performance and includes a nice set of features. The router also has an aesthetically pleasing compact design and an intuitive software application to help home users set up and manage their home wireless network with ease.
The Bad: The Linksys E2000 can't operate in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands at the same time. The router's Web interface and desktop software don't work together, and neither offers complete control over the router's configuration. There's also no USB port to host network storage or printers.
The Bottom Line: The Cisco Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router is the fastest router we've seen in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and will definitely make home users happy with its easy-to-use setup software. Advanced users, however, might find its desktop software and Web interface combination a little disjointed.
