Pros: Reliable, dependable, great signal strength, customizable, compatible with most wifi setups. Cons: Default setup is not maximum security possible. You have to do more configuring yourself.
Reliable, Great for Home Networks Linksys has always been a brand that means dependability to me. And this router is no exception. The Linksys WRT54G is easy to set up. It comes with an installation CD that walks you through the process. In ...

Pros: Easy to setup and add to current Router Configuration Cons: None so Far
I had recently brought a laptop for use at my company and it had wireless capability and needed an inexpensive wireless router, so after doing my research and asking some tech guys. I looked into the Linksys WRT54G router. Brought it from Best buy on ...

Pros: Faster than 802.11b, Reliable, Easy to Configure, Cost Effective, Tech Support Cons: Not lightning proof
This review concerns the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router (WRT54G). I wrote a review a few years ago on the Linksys Wireless-B Broadband Router (BEFW11S4), which you can read he

Pros: WPA (AES), customized firmware (Linux). Cons: No WDS, lousy tech support, buggy firmware.
I have been using WRT54G version 1.0 for over a year (when 802.11g was still a draft standard), and while this is a competent product, there are many bugs Linksys needs ironing out. Setup was easy enough. Connect router to broadband modem, connect ...

Pros: Worked right out of the box, MAC based Policies, and tolerant of mixed brand hardware. Cons: Access Restriction Policies need to be revised.
The WRT54G is my second WiFi router. My previous Dlink DI-614+ worked well enough but had occasional glitches that required the unit be reset. The purchase of a Dell laptop (non Centrino) with Dell's internal 802.11g WiFi, and the Dlink router ...

Pros: Easy to install, improved security using WPA-PSK (TKIP), dual antennae for Tx and Rx. Cons: Power adapter difficult to source for use in countries outside the US. No CLI.
The product installed easily and worked like a charm. Took no time at all and I am getting 54 Mbps most of the time which is as specified. The Web interface is easy to use and the router easily configured. Very few changes were necessary to connect to my ...

Pros: Fast, Not Too Expensive, Easy Connections Cons: Setup program is kind of confusing...
My initial impressions were very good. It's a neat, good-looking product and initial setup was ok - I had two PCs sharing a cable modem in about ten minutes. It's also very good value, particularly as it's quite feature-rich, offering a DHCP server and ...

Pros: Very stable, easy to use, "hackable" Cons: Certain variations/revisions lack advanced user options
This is a very handy little router. The greatest feature of it is actually it's "hackability." Linksys released the source code for this router and as a result many people have been spending a lot of time adding features and creating new versions of ...

Pros: None Cons: Could not establish a home network, Tech Support
I purchased this router for $89 with a $10 rebate at Staples 3/6/04. I also bought a new laptop with wireless "g". Set up was easy for the router using the disk provided with the unit. Our family was surfing the net on both the new laptop and existing PC ...

Pros: Great compatability (802.11b, G, and 4 port standard ethernet), well built product, Cons: No power switch on back.
Having tested the wireless capability over 6 years ago with Diamonds HomeFree system I was a little skeptical on how well it would work. After plugging it in and putting my cable modem up to it, it was working like a charm. I installed a Wireless-G PCI...

Pros: Easy to connect, security option Cons: None
This router is so easy to connect and use, a kid can do it. No, seriously. I work from home and have two internet connections. We use the cable modem for my work PC and the DSL for the home PC. My husband was recently promoted and part of that ...

Pros: Cheap, but is it worth it when you figure in the lost hours? Cons: Requires more nursing than a newborn.
This is the second broadband router from Linksys my girlfriend has had. In both cases we were lured by rebates from Best Buy. The first was a wireless-B and always had connection issues. We spent too much time with numerous calls to customer support. ...

Pros: Good short range performance, easy install/interface Cons: Terrible in houses/settings with more than 2 walls between
Works as good as any 54g wireless router would at short distances, but practically useless beyond 2 walls. Setup is easy - that said, ALL wireless routers are easily installed if you follow the directions and make sure your windows is fully updated - ...
