LINKSYS WRT54G - Wireless-G is the emerging 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B ( 802.11b ) products found in homes, businesses and public wireless hotspots around the country. The best part is, since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices talk to existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment. Operates as a DHCP Server NAT technology to protect against Internet intruders Supports VPN pass-through Easy configuration with web browser based configuration utility

Customer Rating:
Summary: Good but not enough troubleshooting options.
Comment: The router has a good network range. and the signal strength is strong. I have had no problems whatsoever using it till now. Except a minor glitch that it failed to install properly and i was not able to set-up a secure wi-fi network.
Customer Rating:
Summary: okay
Comment: I wouldn't but another one the range sucks on it unless you plan on being in the same room or very close to it don't expect to get a good signal.

Summary: WRT54G Review
Comment: When I first received the router I couldn't get it to work no matter what I tried. After a few days of fiddling around I finally gave in and called customer service. The experiece was great. Customer service took me step by step and had everything running in about 15 minutes. Apparently there was an issue with my modem. Regardless, the WRT54G works as advertised and I have great signal in the house. Great product so far.

Summary: Linksys Wireless Router - Plug and Play
Comment: Very straight forward set-up of the unit. No installation CD required (although it prompted to run it first). Easy disabling of wireless access of the unit's set-up. Last in chain of cable modem, digital voice modem and wireless router, but it all reboots after power failures and glitches without intervention.

Summary: User Friendliness - circa 1985
Comment: If you enjoyed computing in the days of the Commodore 64, and hey, who didn't, then this is the router for you!
First the boring stuff: the router is acceptable in terms of performance, though in an older house you'll have trouble getting a signal twenty-five feet away because of the thicker walls.
The real fun comes in setting up, or in my case re-setting up the modem. Let the adventures in user friendliness begin! Check out this link for a preview of what you have in store:

None of this graphical user interface nonsense for Linksys, we're back in the glory days of eight hour installs (Pool of Radiance, anyone?), physical copy protection and "press play on tape" if you forgot to tell the computer that your program was on the floppy drive not teh tape player.
Searching for the Router takes a full minute. The thing is directly connected to the computer and it takes a minute to find. "Make sure the internet light is blinking", great strategy, thanks Napoleon! Linksys has a great way of helping you when your router cannot find the internet, you just chat online with one of their techs. I'll let you know how that turns out. I am 36th in line after a mere 15 minute wait.
Go ahead, buy this router, everyone else does. But if you get it working, never ever touch anything ever again. Ever. Unless you want to experience the 1980s again. Excuse me while I press "play on tape".
