First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast 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. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing a printer, digital music, picture and document files, and multi-player or on-line games. To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Broadband Router can encode all wireless transmissions with WEP or industrial-strength WPA Personal 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, and supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility. And the tiny form factor fits any home or desktop. With the Linksys Compact Wireless-G Broadband Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games with the flexibility, speed, and security you need!
one small box. First, there's the wireless access point, which lets you connect both your wireless-G (802.11g at 54 Mbps) and wireless-B (802.11b at 11 Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in antenna that lets you add an optional external antenna to increase your range; and finally, it has a 4-port switch for connecting up to four home computers or wired devices together. With the WRT54GC-EU at the centre of your home or office network, you can share your broadband Internet connection, files, printers and games with the flexibility, speed and security you need!
Advantages: Very Small, wall mountable, good setup wizard Disadvantages: Some technical jargon in initial setup
Physically it is about the size of 2 cigarette packets side by side. However that is where the similarity stops, this is far more useful.
I upgraded as my previous routers wireless encryption was limited to WEP only, which I was informed was not very secure.
Thus the interesting specifications as I see it are:
The very small size and wall mountable option, although I had to tweak the mount as the intended screws must have a very small and flat ... ...a wireless network supporting 802.11b and g standards.
Built in Antennae thus nothing to attract little hands! In fact the only things protruding are the power and modem cables, very neat.
Wireless encryption includes 128 bit WEP, 128 bit WPA and 128 bit WPA-2, there are various choices to flavour these, which I wont mention as I do not want to turn this review into a Hi-Fi manual!
The network name can be hidden and you can restrict router access ...

Advantages: WiFi seemed OK Disadvantages: How can the ethernet not work properly? Badly made, poorly supported and must be avoided
...all sorts of diagnostics (contacting Linksys on several occasions), all to no avail. Every now and again (usually when it was least convenient), my PC would simply say "Network cable is unplugged" and I'd have to power off and power off the Linksys kit. The representatives from the manufacturer seemed quite happy to instruct me to do things which they (and I) knew would end our Chat Support session. This was clearly a simple ruse palm me off on the ...
