Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router 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.

Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router customer reviews:

Okay but drops connections
This router generally works well but tends to lose wireless connections more often than it should. I had a WRT54G, the previous model, and it was more reliable until it died. Apparently sleek design and hidden antennae come at a cost.
Good product, some missing features...
The WRT54G2 is your average consumer router. Works great, looks great.
One thing I was concerned about was the lack of external antennas. After using it for almost a month, I can say that it's range is plenty good enough. Covers the entire house, and some of the yard. Don't worry about range, unless you have some special application...
My only real complaint was the lack of some features. I wanted to assign/reserve certain IP address for specified MAC address. This router doesn't allow that.
Overall, it's a good consumer router - probably one of the best choices in it's price range. And the nice new look doesn't hurt either. ;-)
Great router
It could not have been easier to setup and it works great. I have no idea what a more expensive one could do that this one cannot.
Works Great
Easy Installation and works as advertised. Had an existing Road Runner Internet connection and wanted freedom to roam and multiple user access. Installed the Linksys and in a few minutes had multiple users and access from across the street by our community pool. The unit is exceptionally light and I installed it out of site behind my LCD TV in a TV cabinet and it works perfectly.
Not Impressed
This version of the Linksys left a lot to be desired from previous versions. Had problems recognizing my internet connection. Linksys is aware of this problem with this unit but doesn't seem to interested in fixing the problem. I bought another system to replace this one. I wouldn't recommend this one to anyone.
