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

After struggling for years with a D-Link and having intermittent breach issues because of the firewall I switched first to an earlier model Linksys but recently upgraded when I upgraded my PC.  The setup for this one was nearly plug it in and turn the power on. 

I did have security software issues (my software didn't like the new software installation - my fault, clicked the wrong version) which Linksys tech support helped resolve very quickly and in a very friendly manner - no tech talk - plain, simple instructions to get me up and running quickly.

After that, this router has performed...

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....

When I was looking for a wireless router I chose the Linksys wrt54gs because at the time it was the best one I could find. I have been using the same Linksys wrt54gs for over 7 years. When I first got the Linksys wrt54gs I thought it would be hard to set up but I found that it was simple. The first computer I used it with I got a card for inside the computer and had some issues with the computer staying connected. Since then I have purchased an USB connect device for the Linksys wrt54gs I use it on my second computer and my third computer still has the wireless card in it. When my girlfriend's...

I use my computer everyday, so it is really important that I have a reliable internet connection.  I have been using my cable modem for about three years and like it, but it was inconvenient to always have to be at my desk to do my internet work, or to connect and reconnect the cables whenever I wanted to travel with my laptop.  I found a great solution with this Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router because I can hook up both my computers to the network, and can be wire free anywhere in the house.  The price I paid for this router was about $60, which I found at Best Buy and it seems like a great...

I purchashed my Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router when I moved to an area where I could not get Verizon as my internet provider.

Because I am not a techie, I found the Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router hard to install. I made numberous calls to Linksys to try to hook it up. I was sent to their website, but I still could not do it. I FINALLY got it hooked up when my computer broke. I have not tried to hook the Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router again.

I would rather get Verizon Internet service than try to hook it up again.

The person I talked to could not  understand a word I said and did not even...

I have had this paticular router for awhile, and I must say that it is truly a wonderful router in my own estimation. I've never really had any serious issues in setting it up or using it. You should have some known how to properly hook up a wireless network so that it stays secure, but there are always plenty of tutorials on-line made specifically for linksys routers and they can easily be followed. I have no idea if it works for a Mac, as I am strictly a PC user, but I do know it works with both Windows Vista as well as the now out of date Windows XP. The included security features are really...

Can a router get much better than this? Complete with wireless G technology & detachable antennas for an easy upgrade to the next best thing.

You can simply replace the antennas for higher gain & compatible with some outdoor wifi antennas, you can't beat it.  Light up the entire nieghborhood with wireless internet! 

Also upgradable to 3rd party firmware (DD-WRT)  for use as a WDS (wireless distribution system), you can fill all three stories of your mansion with wireless internet access, using more than one Linksys WRT54GS router.

You can also extend your range of the Linksys WRT54GS even...

I have had a few of these. Only one have them has died. But I have had really good luck with them. I won't buy any other brand because they are cheap and they work amazing. I have never had over heating problems or anything like that. The one bad one I got I got used from someone, so who knows what they did to it.I have seen these used in offices and are always on, never have to reset them, and haven't been turned off in like two years. And they just keep on working. The range is pretty average for these. But you can buy better antanas for them and what not. It is really easy to set up. Plug and...
