 Router December 12, 2008
The router is giving me a strong signal to a laptop in another room. It appears to be much more reliable than the last one I had. Thank you for prompt delivery of this item.

This is my second WRT54GL and it was an easy buy after my positive experiences with the first one. The original was flashed with DD-WRT v23 and it has been up and running without fail for over a year and a half (just upgraded it to v24 with no problems). Even if you're not into changing the firmware don't bother with the included software as it's garbage. Instead, hook your computer up with the included lan cable, type 192.168.1.1 and configure the router appropriately.
As other reviewers have stated DD-WRT and other third party firmware add greater functionality to the router and are highly recommended. Do a google search "for how to flash the wrtgl with dd-wrt firmware" and you'll find a great visual guide for flashing the router at M&L Adventures. IMPORTANT - make sure you use the micro or mini version of DD-WRT the first time you flash it as the latest linksys firmware does not allow flashes over 3MB. Once you've flashed the router with the mini DD-WRT then you can apply the regular flash DD-WRT v24(5/24/08) std. If you apply the standard without first applying the micro/mini you'll brick the router (I did it twice before figuring out the sequence). You can recover the router but it's a pain. Download latest linksys firmware and get tftp2.exe (google it) to load original firmware back onto router.
I am using my second router as a repeater bridge (DD-WRT functionality) to extend the range of my wireless network. Can't stand having a PS3 with limited connectivity. I am now able to effectively stream Netflix and Hula to my PS3 using Playon server software. Yeah.
Overall, this is a rugged dependable router that is inexpensive and supported by free third party firmware that further enhances its capabilities.

I installed openwrt on this router and I am using it as a router/firewall with iptables on it. I use multiple VLANs on my home network.
This router replaced a linux computer and my previous wireless router and does that at 15 Watts power, and no moving parts.
I really appreciate that linksys has supported the open source community with this device. Perhaps they'll do 802.11n + GigE soon.
Works great with Mac and PC November 28, 2008
I bought this about 10 months ago and it works great.
Pros:
+ Easy setup on Windows. Works well with Mac too.
+ I connect three laptops (two PCs, one Mac) to it and use it without hassles.
+ Good range even for a two storied house.
+ Has 4 ethernet ports. Can be used as a wired LAN hub.
Cons:
- Air vents on top gather dust :)
Highly recommended.
Reliable and flexible router, plus open firmware! November 22, 2008
I have two linksys routers, one of these WRT54GL, and an older G, both running WW-DRT firmware to increase range and abilities. I have them linked using WDS and the power increased to 100mW for better range. Once setup, I haven't even had to power cycle or reset either of them, they just work. After installing WW-DRT on these routers, they pretty much have the features of a router that costs x5 more, you can't find a better deal than that.
