Advantages: Cheap, Easy Install, Fast Connection, 4 ports Disadvantages: Wired. Not always a disadvantage though.
...a lot of praise about Linksys routers. And the praise was true to it's word.
The router packs the following statistics, which may mean more to some of you that others, but listed her for simplicities sake when you read reviews on it.
Built in Modem. No need for both a router and a modem.
ADSL2. You can connect up to 25 mb per second with this
4 ports. You can connect 4 PC's, Routers or other Ethernet devices to this.

so far in 3 months we've had to restart the router once, and it gets hammered 24/7 by browsing, automated FTP, and email and it just takes it all! It does get quite warm when working hard, but nowhere near as hot as our old BT router ...
