Linksys WRT54G Review Summary

Linksys produces a bewildering array of products for a large cross-section of customers from home users to small/medium sized businesses. One of these is the WRT54Gs Wireless Router/Switch with SpeedBooster technology. While most of reviewers lauded the 3-n-1 (Router/Wireless Access Point/4-port Switch) black and blue Linksys unit with one stating: “Linksys is always a reliable router.” not all are enamored of it. One review stated that the unit worked fine until he had to move the computer at which point it lost its connection to the router. Like most Linksys networking gear, the WRT54Gs offers a robust feature set, and are easy to set-up and configure. Although a little more expensive than comparable units, Linksys is known for its dependability and solid performance.

Linksys is always a reliable router. I was able to network all five of the computers in my home though one router. I also networked the printer wirelessly through the router so any computer can print using that printer. I am not the best at using things, but it was very easy to figure out.

One downside...

I have had my Linksys WRT54G going on 7 years now, I think it's a good product for the money it's sold for. I have had tech's tell me it's out of date or it doesn't work anymore and have found them to be WRONG. When my router won't connect anymore it's not a malfucntion with the router it's a tech issue with the server or the computer it self. I've found that if I uninstall my Linksys WRT54G, and then reinstall it , It works just fine. I believe that the cause of me having to uninstall and reinstall is because of the upgrades of different servers or the windows update site. It has nothing to do...

This is an excellent unit for anyone considering a wireless home network. Very easy to setup and interfaces well with the cable modem from your cable company. Just think about it. No more fighting over who's turn it is to get on the internet. At my home, I can be on the computer in the back, while the wife or kid surfs from the living room.  I haven't noticed any real slow down in bandwidth with the two of us on at the same time. Intergartion of the laptop was pretty straight forward and seemless. I truly think this was one of our best computer hardware buys yet. The price is very resonable. There...

We use the Linksys WRT54G to disburse internet thru our desktop, 2 network printers, and 3 laptops.  The linksys is super easy to set up and secure. 

The router is pretty relable. The only problem I run into is that the router doesn't pull new IP's from the modem in a timely manner.  This is easily remedied by power cycling or releasing and renewing the IP from the Linksys web interface.

The router is programmable by MAC or IP address, which is great for keeping little ones or teenages off the internet during dinner time or after bedtime.  It also allows me to open or close ports as needed. ...
