Product Description |
|
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is three devices in one. The Wireless Access Point lets you connect both 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. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. Your computers can share all kinds of music, digital picture, and document files. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature makes it easy to configure your wireless devices. Just push the button on the Router and on your other Wi-Fi Protected Setup enabled wireless device to automatically create a WPA2 connection that protects your data and privacy with up to 256-bit industrial-strength encryption. The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Advanced configuration is a snap with the web-browser-based interface.

Better than the G1, but what a stupid case design. |
The WRT54G2 seems like a stopping point before wireless-N becomes the de facto standard for WiFi products. The firmware and web interface is very similar to that of the G1 router, so it's very configurable and intuitive for the somewhat technically inclined. The broadcast strength is terrific.
So, it works well. But what is wrong with companies making products that cannot be stacked, mounted or stored anywhere except on a desktop with huge swaths of free space? This awful retro-future design makes me yearn for the DLink DIR-625 or DIR-615. Cisco, please take note: Computers are, for the most part, cubic boxes. so are desks, shelves, tables and drawers. So are my other routers and switches. This WRT54G2 comes with no mounting hardware or even a stand so it can be stored vertically, so you need a full square foot of free space on your desktop for Cisco to advertise its stupid looking black box.
Anyway, thanks for listening. It's a good thing the WRT54G2 works so well. |

Nothing great to write about |
|
I bought this router after reading rave reviews from owners. It was easy to set up as promised. However for some reason, it doesn`t work well with my older dell laptop. I have a newer Sony Vaio which works great with it. It looks sleek..better than the ugly blue box. So far, I have no major complaints. |

Great for my purposes |
This router has been great for my purposes. Using to connect a desktop, a couple of laptops, a Wii and an Ipod Touch w/ no significant issues. I've had to reset it a couple of times when it seems to drop the signal, but the dropped signal could be a result of other pieces of equipment in line (I'm using Minneapolis city wireless internet service, so that could be the culprit). Dropped signals happen much less frequently with this than w/ my previous Linksys wireless B router (don't recall model #.)
Range is decent in our house (around 1700 sq ft) in both the basement and main level with router placed in central location of basement.
Very easy set up, has worked well with all devices I've tried to connect to it. |
