5 out of 5 stars Purchased WRT54G, but went with WRT54GL instead.   July 1, 2006
 11 out of 11 found this review helpful

I purchased the WRT54G at our local bestbuy store and had nothing but trouble, family would complain of very slow speeds and occasionally the unit would need a reboot to get it working again. Very frustrated, I took it back and the person at the store told us to buy the WRT54GL same parts but different software inside? Plugged it into our network and have never had a problem since, why would linksys keep selling the WRT54G with this much trouble? Oh well 5 stars for the WRT54GL.


5 out of 5 stars great router for mixed platform wireless network   June 26, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

we run a mixed network off a cable modem with 2 apple power pcs on os X.* and airport cards and an XP dell inspiron with its original card. i am a novice at networking and had the router and network up and running by myself in short order. "secure easy setup" button (self-configuration function, i am assuming) did not work and biggest delay was figuring out i needed to just skip that and do it myself. have been using nearly a month. good reliability, range, and signal power up and down stairs and on deck. linksys 'online chat help' was eager, if not helpful for my issue, and linksys seems to have a good help database online. bought this in part for the open source option.


4 out of 5 stars Linksys router WRT54GL   June 26, 2006
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have had no problems with the router after intall. The software that comes with it does not support it, and the online help does not support it. BUT the teck support, and I am sure I was talking to someone in India, Was the BEST. The teck would not let me go until he was sure that I was sure everything was in order.


5 out of 5 stars So far very stable   June 24, 2006
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I bought this router about 3 weeks ago to upgrade my Linksys BEFW11S4 802.11b router. The main thing I was looking for is the stability. So far, this router has been perfect, it hasn't dropped the connection yet. It also appears this router has much better range than my previous router. The product comes with a CD which has the installation guide on it. As usual, it's not well written.

Update:
It has been more than 3 months since I set up this router and I haven't had any problem. - 8/16/06

Update:
This router has been in operation for 7 months and hasn't had any problem at all. Not even a single reboot. - 1/16/07



5 out of 5 stars my first wireless experience   June 18, 2006
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I've always wanted to go wireless. I just recently got a decent high-speed connection; much faster than DSL, which meant enough bandwidth to actually make wireless really worth it (at least for me). The main reason was that I had an old sony vaio with a dial-up modem only (i know... sad), and I wanted to use my "old friend".

I have no experience with networking, or wireless networking for that matter. After reading up, found out about this router and just had to have it. After setting up my network using the linksys firmware (very easy), I decided to use the 3rd-party firmware dd-wrt. Its almost the same interface as linksys but WAY more features. Of course most of these features us newbies won't use at first, but if your like me you'll learn quickly.

There is a lot of helpful information on this router online (simple Google search) because its so popular; much more helpful than Linksys support from what I've read. Even if your internet connection doesn't take full advantage of wireless-G now (mine only uses about 25% of what it can actually do - around 27 mbps), it should eventually as ISP's are getting faster and cheaper.

All in all, my first experience with wireless networking was awesome, and the WRT54GL is worth every penny, even if the sorry people at linksys are pawning an old version off as new.
