Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router

Customer Rating:
So far happy with this product. Have some trouble Skyping with my family using webcam - significant delay. Can't figure out if it's my slow internet or the router though.

I know very little

I know very little about routers. Set this up using the instructions and have never had a moments problem. Wi-fi for latop, ps3, 3 itouch, other stuff. Been 9 months and not an issue. If you have little or no idea what you are doing, here is your router.

Great router/switch for the home. Don't listen to the detractors.

I have had my Linksys WRT-54g version 5 for I can't remember how long, probably since the version 5 originally came out and I will say this, if you are having problems with it, you are going to have problems with just about every router/switch/hub you will ever get. I have flashed it to the latest firmware available and have had virtually no problems with it, ever. If anything, I very occassionaly have to unplug it and wait 6 seconds to plug it back in and everything is back up and running within second flawlessly. I have NEVER had any issues that ANY other reviewer has claimed to have. I setup my wireless network and wired network with little to no issue and I am NOT a network/IT person but I am very good with computers.

To all those having problems, I have to disagree whole-heartedly with you on how bad you all are saying version 5 is of this product. I love mine and while I would like to have wireless-n technology, this router gives me utmost confidence in Lynksis equipment. As far as my experience has been, this is a rock solid product and you can't go wrong with it. As long as it works, wireless-g will be fine for me. I have customized my setting and security and just plain had no trouble.

I did see one persons claiming to be an IT person and taking 3 hours to set this router up, I have to laugh at them because if they had that much trouble, they shouldn't be in IT. I set this up in less than a hour on no formal schooling and not working in the computer industry in any capacity. I also saw people talking about how this version is not modder friendly as a reason this version stinks and I say big deal unless you really want to waste your time doing that as the average user does not care about that, plus the fact that is your own fault and not a manufacturers problem or issue and hence is not a valid reason to bash this product. Don't let the bad reviewers who "claim" to know what they are doing fool you, this is a rock solid product that has worked from day one with minimal problems.

Save your money and buy something else.

The main problem with this router is that the connection inexplicably drops. When this happens, you have to go through some ridiculous ritual to try and get your signal back. Sometimes unplugging the router for a few seconds does the trick. Sometimes restarting your computer does it. Sometimes disabling the wireless connection and reenabling it fixes the problem. And other times, you have to waste 1-2 hours talking with technical support. The online setup/admin screen is also difficult to use because the passwords keep resetting. When this router is working without any hassles, it is a decent product. But because of its lack of reliability, I honestly cannot recommend it. The time wasted trying to reestablish a lost connection makes this purchase more trouble than it's worth.

Easy to set up, reliable product

Customer Rating:
This product was easy to set up with the Installation CD and is easy to use once set up. It occasionally breaks Internet connection, but can be easily re-connected by going to the Wireless Networks window.
