Items In Wireless Networking You Might Be Interested InProduct Details of Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G Broadband RouterDescription The Wireless-G WRT54G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4- port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

Customer Service Is TERRIBLE!Strengths: was great when it was working! Weakness: if it dies, don't count on getting it replaced anytime soon... the router stopped working during a firmware update, power was not lost and the process was never interrupted. The router no longer works after 6 months of continuous use (and previous firmware updates). Customer service is absolutely horrible, as the unit is on backorder and has been for over a month now. No one cares to update you on the status of the RMA or to even consider sending a new unit...

Mac application quick painlessStrengths: plug in and go Weakness: short distance through walls, maybe 75 feet We purchased 3 and put them in our studio in different places. We plugged in the dsl ethernet, turned it on and bang it was on. The same with our cable feed. No brainer. Cheap no installation of software was needed. Even our lone PC saw the feed. ...itza nice!!

Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G Broadband RouterStrengths: -Ease of use, great set-up (hint: don't use the CD) -Value for the dollar Weakness: None yet I'm a 5 year veteran in IT. Although I prefer a CLI to the GUI interface, this is simple enough for the non-technical. I decommissioned my Cisco AP340 for the Linksys WRT54G to take advantage of the 3-in-1 (Access point, router, 4 port switch). Don't bother with the CD setup - simply plug in all periphials and follow the set-up fold out provided. -Wireless network- -works with Cisco 350 Client...

Reliable router Linksys WRT54GStrengths: Reliable, WEP AND WPA encryption, strong WLAN signal, flashable with Linux Weakness: Power consumption higher than necessary without sleep mode I am using this Linksys router for several months and had definitely no problems with it. The setup with a Comcast cable account was a little tricky since I first configured the account with the modem only and then had to copy the IP address to the routers settings. But there are several webpages which offer help here and this is not a problem to the router but to the Comcast settings. I am a...

Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G Broadband RouterStrengths: Very fast...firewall...easy, intuitive web interface...easy to host web page with this router Weakness: Setup was not as easy as one would wish Ok... Read all the reviews before I went and purchased this product. First, I cannot believe some of these 'networking professionals' and 'electrical engineers' are having the problems they are. While I did have to abandon the automatic setup CD (would not work), I had no more problem setting up this router than I did with any other. My problem revolved around the fact that I could not get my...

Piece of junkStrengths: None Weakness: Complexe installation, no support from Cisco, unreliable I am about to change this piece of junk. Took me more than a month to set it up. Everytime there is a modification to be done to the network such as adding a new Ipad, it takes forever to reinstall. Got no support at all from Cisco, it seems that their approach with their customers is: don't call you are bothering us. At the office, as CFO, I am responsible for computers and all my techs are...

Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G Broadband RouterStrengths: Set up was easy for a techie, quick connection, good range, works well with other brand cards, little to no packet loss, and a great section for dynamic dns service Weakness: none I have been completely satisfied with this router. I originally had an SMC and was not happy with it's perfomance or reliability. I would recommend this router to any of my family or friends looking to set up a wireless network.

Don't do itStrengths: Easy config interface Weakness: No Static DHCP. Didn't work with friend's VPN For more than a week this router frustrated my friend and I. He was trying to use it to connect into his work VPN and it absolutely would not do it. We tried all the known settings. He kept trying to tell me that he would take it back and get a different one and I told him it was the configuration and not the router itself. Finally he returns it and gets a netgear and he has been problem free...

Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G Broadband RouterStrengths: Firmware updates doesn't restore the router to factory defaults. Great signal strenght. Weakness: Updates: Need to update both Firmware and drivers for best performance. I had the D-Link 614+ and this is much better. Router is mounted upstairs under the desk (upsidedown) and my signal strength with this router is 80 - 85 being downstairs in the opposite end of my house. I have 2 2.5GHz wireless phones (one near the router and the other where I am downstairs)and have NO problems. My signal stays strong while on the phone and I don't lose my connection. The Linksys...
