The Linksys Wireless-G 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 (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) 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.

I just bought the router today and the thing does not work. I followed the installation procedures and I am having problems connecting with the internet with the router present.
The installation was a snap but after the installation, I could not connect. I talked to Tech Support and they helped somewhat and I was treated well but the woman admitted to me that they are getting many calls about connection problems. She helped me connect my desktop but my laptop was not working wireless or with the network cable with no success. She said that I would have to go to level 2 support...
I am an engineer and not a technical slouch... I am successful is diagnosing problems but the router should work as designed otherwise you have to configure every machine connection individually which is not how the router was designed.
I did a second install which did not work either. This router is going back to Fry's; I do not know if the G version of this router is worth it or should I try another brand (it is hard to decide between the reviews that I read from the other vendors)...
Any ideas?

I purchased the WRT54G2 and followed the instructions to the letter. The install was straight forward and I encountered no problems. When finished, the instructional cd informed me that the installation was successful. When I attempted to use my laptop on the wireless network, it would not connect. I eventually contacted tech. support. BIG MISTAKE. After an hour of following numerous changes to the network settings I was told that it must be my computer. My laptop is what I use at work, & it works flawlessly every day in a wireless setup. However, I was told to go to work and try again. The laptop worked fine at work. So I called again today, after another hour, I was told that BOTH my laptop & desktop were broken & that I needed to get them fixed before the Linksys router would work. I told the tech that both computers were worked perfectly before the 2 hours of changes & that Linksys is responsible for the network problems that I now have. I was put on hold to talk to a supervisor. After 38 minutes of music, I hung up & have sent the Linksys back to Amazon. I have been using computer related equipment for over 25 years. I have never encountered such useless & counter productive advice. The Linksys tech support makes HP support seem like Apple Care!

The router works great. I had previously been using a Netgear WGR614 router (which was still 54mbs and wireless g enabled). The Netgear router kept dropping the connection and seemed like it was overheating.
I purchased the Linksys router and like it for the following reasons:
1. Looks much more sleek
2. The Internet seems faster and more responsive
3. My Vista machine gains back its connection much more quickly when coming out of sleep or hibernation
4. No more dropped connections
5. Option for https configuration
6. Has WPA2
7. Tried out the connection and the WPA2 works with the Wii, and the G1 Android phone. Ooma worked fine through the wired plugin.
Things that could use some improvement:
1. I don't like it when you have to install software for peripherals and accessories. I installed the software, and will uninstall it because I can get to the advanced settings directly through the router interface.
2. I checked the signal strength in different parts of the house before I disconnected my old router and then after connecting the Linksys router. Where I received Very Good with the old router, the Linksys router only gives Fair to Good connection strength.

I bought this wireless router for my new Apt. It was easy and fast to setup, just connect the cables to my Desktop and my PS3, just took me 10 minutes to protect the WiFi with a key or password for the neighbors not to use my internet connection for free!!
Very pleased with the preformance and it looks very nice and modern too!

I bought this product after my DLink router died. It lasted 4 years, so I was happy with the purchase. Anyhow, I went to BB because I did not want to wait for a unit to ship. I purchased this unit and it would not work. (There were no Dlink items in stock) I spent about an hour with "customer service" and they said it was unable to work because of our network. We have Comcast and I had already contacted them and was certain it was not their issue, as we have cable and phone service and both were fine. I returned the unit to BB and purchased a Netgear router. It was easy to setup and has been great. It is less expensive as well.
