Product Description
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, theres 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. Theres 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. Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. |

WRT54GL is an excellent product by Systems Research Scientist (Silicon Valley, CA)  5 Stars
November 21, 2009
Fulfillment of this Cisco product from Amazon was fast and hassle free, the unit was easy to configure, the admin GUI is logical and clear, and the option to reprogram the firmware with open source Linux opens up endless possibilities if I ever have the time to really play with this unit. I would highly recommend it for any serious IT hobbyist looking for a replacement wireless router. Also, the price point came in $10 lower than my local computer/electronics store, even after shipping was included.

Whats not to like by W. C. Siebentritt (Las Vegas)  4 Stars
November 21, 2009
Setup is easy and runs the computer on the other side of the house. Can't ask for more than that for this price.

Easy installation on PC, Poor on MAC by T. QUADT (USA) 4 Stars
November 17, 2009
I am running the router with a PC and a MAC at home.
The installation CD does not provide MAC software and the custiomer service (website, chat, phone) is poor. Since my PC didn't have a CD drive, I ended up buying an external one.
Installation on a PC is very easy though and from the start it worked flawless in WPA2 mode on both the PC and the MAC.
Reception and Reliability are great.
--> Buy this product if you have a PC or if you feel comfortable installing it manually on a MAC (I had no idea how to do that).

Works well so far by Jonathan Schuster (Chicago, IL) 4 Stars
November 17, 2009
I flashed the router's firmware with DD-WRT immediately after getting it, and it's working well so far. I haven't had any problems with it, and the WiFi/WPA encryption works with all the wireless devices in my home (laptop, Wii, and iPhone), which I couldn't say about the old router built into my modem.
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that I haven't had a chance to really give it a run for its money, but I'm confident it's going to serve me well.

Great for Telecommuting! by A. Manna (North Carolina) 5 Stars
November 16, 2009
I was having problems with telecommuting through my previous router - VPN was constantly disconnecting and occasionally not working at all for days at a time. Since I've installed this router I've had absolutely no problems and the inefficiencies I just accepted are a thing of the past!
