Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router Reviews
Customer Rating:
Summary: Failed within a month.
Comment: This router was nothing but trouble. The software it came with was spotty and I had to go through all sorts of headaches to reconnect to the network. Finally removed it and had Windows Wireless Zero Config run the connection. Then it prevented me from seeing my other work stations wirelessly, but allowed it wired. The customer service agent had me change all these settings (via online chat) to reset the router and the whole system went down. I tried to reset to factory settings and reinstall, but the software couldn't do it. I finally junked it and bought a netgear router, which is working flawlessly.

Summary: Amazing!
Comment: This little router is amazing! The set-up on my PC was difficult for me to do on my own because my IE's configuration was muddled. I called the 24-hour hotline and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of help I received. The tech stayed with me for over 45 minutes until the problem was solved. She was wonderfully helpful and I recommend this product not only for its quality but also for the customer service.

Summary: Avoidable
Comment: Setup didn't work with Vista. After 3+ hours on call with tech support from India, they told me the router was faulty. I had to call Amazon.com: share my story to request a replacement. Received the replacement within 3 days & the second one didn't work either.
I had to cancel the entire order. I recommend this product as Avoidable.

Summary: No complaints here
Comment: I purchased the Linksys router as a replacement for my Netgear router that needed to constantly be reset in order to maintain a wireless connection. Since setting up this router, I haven't had to reset it at all (by comparison, I was resetting the Netgear router almost daily and sometimes multiple times per day). The setup was easy and quick.

Summary: Broke quickly, and not so great when it worked
Comment: I bought this at WalMart. It was fairly easy to install, but didn't ever work that well, with frequent times that it didn't seem to recognize my internet connection. Many times, watching netflix on my laptop or something, it would just go out, and I'd have to reboot or reestablish the connection, etc. After about 3 weeks of use, it pooped out altogether, and the internet light won't come on at all. There's a warranty, but in order to get them to send me a new one, they require putting a hold on my credit card, which I think is annoying, and I'm not sure I really want another one anyway. Maybe I just got a defective one, but it was a great disappointment. I used to have one that came with my verizon service, and it NEVER failed to work, so after having completely consistent service, going to service you could never count on, and then none at all has been a TOTAL DRAG and a waste of time and money.

Editorial Review for Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router:
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.
