Linksys Wireless-G Router With Power Boost (WRT54GS) — 

i am not a technology wizzard but to be completely honest i would not recomend this product to anyone.  the price seemed right at the time but it was so much hassel.  the guy at the store told me it was basically plug and go but i had to sit on the phone with a customer service representative for almost three hours to get it all set up. and to make matters worse his english was so poor that i actually asked for someone who knew how to speak properly or in a manner i could understand.  the guy told me he would call me back in a half hour after totally messing up the existing modem and never did. finally had a friend who formally had the linksy system come over to help install and it took him another hour.  once hooked up i found that it does the job but would not recomend it be placed in a bed room because the blinking all night is enough to drive you crazy.  definately not something i would recomend. would have paid the extra couple bucks for less hassle.  never had a problem with reception that part was always good.

It is a router after all, and unless you understand how they work you are bound to have issue. I have used Linksys routers for years and I use nothing else. Good luck with yours.
