Editorial Reviews:

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

Summary: GREAT PERFORMANCE, SIMPLE SET-UP. GREAT VALUE
Comment: We purchased this router after trying two other routers that we had problems with. This router is so reliable and easy to set-up. The easy connection set-up button on the front of the router is unique and makes set-up a breeze. The range is pretty good, we are able to easily connect to the internet upstairs when the router is downstairs and it maintains a strong signal.

Summary: more range please
Comment: this is best budget wireless device on the market. it is undoubtedly comparable to more expensive units. if you know what you're doing it takes 10 mins to set up and secure. i've yet to use the cd or the automatic configuration button.
i would like a little more range though.

Summary: Decent home router
Comment: What do you expect. It is a $40 dollar router. I use for my home network and haven't had really any problems at all. This review is based on those facts and those facts alone. I don't do any manual configuring besides using EasyLink advisor.

Summary: Range is good, performance varies
Comment: Although this isn't a long range router the signal reaches through my walls and into another room. Setup was okay but the network password was almost impossible to decipher. There were 2 lines of numbers and letters, plus it was hard to differentiate the letter 'o' with zero. I didn't see a good way to change the password options. It may be there but I couldn't find it within the menus nor help section.
The signal goes on and off and I had to keep figuring out if it was the DSL failing or the router. Many times I reset the router and the signal came back. There were very few times I had to reset the modem so I'm think the router is the culprit. This also includes some direct router connections, not just the wireless signal. It is at the low end of the price range but maybe I got a lemon.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Tried and True
Comment: This is a good, stable product, and unlike a previous Linksys routers I have owned, firmware updates seem to work properly without any special tricks (reason for this purchase). The included nework management software is not required and a bit tiresome if you already understand networking, but would be very useful for a beginner. Wireless range is perfectly acceptable within an average scale home.
