I purchased my WRT54G nearly two years ago. At that time, I had a Belkin G which had replaced my Hawkins G router. Between the three, the Linksys was the greatest. I popped the Linksys right out of the box and plugged it in. And it worked. Simplicity at it's greatest. It's been the most reliable...

My last Linksys router was a BEFSR41 (wired, with a WAP54G wireless access point connected to one of the ports) ; it worked flawlessly, until I bought my Sony LoctaionFree system (see my review of that unit). I needed UPNP (Universal Plug aNd Play) for the router to work with the Sony, so I updated...

In so many products and services, things are expected to go smoothly. Some necessities are taken for granted and not thought about, until they cease to work. At the top of the list of things like that is the wireless router. People expect to hop online to check email, go to their favorite websites, or watch a video clip with ease and speed. Linksys' Wireless G WRT54G is a device that allows for just that. It's a budget router, small and simple and not top of the line. It is reliable, though, and that's really what everyone wants in a router.
The WRT54G has an ethernet input to connect...

I bought this router as a replacement for a different Lynksy, the old one was a one antenna, and i figured if it was good, then the 2 antenna one was better.
WE have 2 PC's in the house now, and a laptop, plus friends that visit have laptops. WE can run them all at the same time off this, no matter where in the house and paviallion.
I like the ease of installation, ease of hooking up to my main PC, and the way we can use wireless or direct feed, to the other PC
Have found direct feed to the other PC works bette than wireless, plus we did nhot have to buy a wireless card for the other PC.

Got this from circuitcity after returning my NETGEAR WGR614 which had intermittent disconnections on a DSL line. The netgear was working well for few days and then started disconnecting intemittently and i have to restart the router to get it to work which defeats the purpose of WIRELSS. Then I found this great wireless piece which worked continuously with out any problems.
Has been using for 8 months and i rarely faced any problem.
Supports wide range of security options for wireless encryption.
Maybe the router was cheap enough, and maybe it worked okay for awhile, but getting any of the online updates for this piece of trash was impossible. The customer "service" is non-existant. Trying for over one year to get anything from the "help" lines was like trying to make the sun rise in the west and set in the east. No matter how good the product ever gets, avoid this customer "service" challenged crap at all costs.
For those who have set up wireless systems before the menus are easy to follow to set up your own IP address and encryption.
The strongest feature is the secure easy set up function. This makes it very easy to add other wireless devices to the system. I did this for a wireless ink jet printer and it was ready in a matter of minutes.
My IT professional at work suggested this product for my home use. After pricing at many stores I can safely say don't pay over $50.00 it is everywhere. It supports my VPN for the office and was easy to set the encrypted lock out, all I had to do is push a button. I would recommend for individuals who use and need a wireless computer but are not knowledgeable about the technical end.
