Editorial Review: Product Description: Wireless-G is the 54Mbps 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 - but since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also interoperate with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment.Since both standards are built in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b infrastructure, and migrate to the screaming fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow.The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or 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. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to 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.To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Broadband Router can encrypt all wireless transmissions. The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has NAT technology to protect against Internet intruders, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.With the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games with the flexibility, speed, and security you need!

 Rating:  - Worst router ever.I bought this router in addition to a Linksys wireless laptop range extender PCI Card and a wireless PCI adapter for my desktop. I received this router in new condition, opened it up and was able to plug and play into my PC laptop for the most part. The only immediate problem I encountered was getting wireless settings set up for my Mac on wireless, but that wasn't too much of a problem. Shortly after however, while using my Mac I started in with a regular routine of getting ready to ...

Rating:  - The WRT54G has been working flawlessly for over 5 years now!I have had mine for over 5 years now and it has been flawless during that time. I recently purchased a "new-to-us" home that was built prior to the PC and Internet craze so there is no built in connectivity. My internet connection is in one room and my "computer room" is in another part of the house. So, to connect the two rooms together (wired network to the internet) I added the Linksys WET54G wireless bridge/access point to the network. It works great with my WRT54G. Now my wired network can ...

But once I got it together it worked great. Rating: - With DD-WRT, amazing!I have purchased three of these, and after installing custom firmware (DD-WRT, not necessarily for the average end-user, although pretty simple for the power user), these boxes are amazing! I was able to set up two for work to provide wireless signals to non-wireless enabled computers without too much hassle, and for my personal use and one of my friends, they have yet to disappoint. When I used it without the custom firmware, it wasn't that impressive. I couldn't get it to work properly, it would crash ... Read More |
