Wireless-G is the 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public...

Since both standards are built in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b infrastructure, and migrate to the screaming fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow. The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to 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. To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Broadband Router can encrypt all wireless transmissions. The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has NAT technology to protect against Internet intruders, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility. With the Linksys 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!

Advantages: Read review
Disadvantages: Read Review

...day I started using other Linksys products as well and found most of them very user friendly. Linksys is a well known name in the market for making ADSL/broadband routers. They even make other products for VOIP like PAP2 etc and currently manufacturing most of the product from china. Package and Out Look! The box color is black and blue with router image in the middle of the box, the size of the box is small as 12 inches in width. When I ... Read review

Linksys Wireless-G - Heh, It's Winking At Me
Review of Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G - wireless router by BNibbles

Advantages: New faster wi-fi standard. Easy to set-up
Disadvantages: None specific to Linksys, but wi-fi HAS to less secure than a wired LAN

...networking kit, also supplied by Linksys took care of all the shared access to the Telewest broadband internet service and any file and printer sharing that I may have set up between my PC, thus the main hub of this kit used to go under the lengthy title of ‘combined broadband router/switch/wireless access point’. WHY I UPGRADED – AS IF I NEEDED A REASON! The only reason that I’m writing about a new one, is, not because the old system broke, ... Read review

Disadvantages: found it hard to set up at first

...PC World and got the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router and USB Adaptor both for £39.99 as a package deal, individually it would have been around £70.00 so well impressed there.

...that he might have undergone, Linksys goes 'I know! I wont change at all! I will just add the word Wireless-G 54Mbps on my chest and paint it green!' And so the rest is history... Well not really. Because I am one of those twats that purchased a Linksys Wireless-G router. When I first got it out of it's shiny new box, I thought, "Yes! The high speed wireless solution shall dawn upon my home and I will become... free!" It was easy to setup, ... Read review

Advantages: Powerful Cheap router
Disadvantages: Connection drops are a known issue amongst some users

Going Wired & Wireless? Go Linksys WRT54G.
Review of Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G - wireless router by sunny_boy

Advantages: Small, portable, easy-to-use, easy-to-setup and adaptable.
Disadvantages: Blue makes it uneasy on the eye and gets hot.

...ended up going to the Linksys website and downloading and running the setup tool they have on their site. Worked a treat. The configuration of the software, as I said, was easy but I find that the use of only a password, and no username, isn't secure enough for me. On reboot, everything worked as it should have and all the computers on my network (including the laptop) had their address (192.168.1.100 etc.). Very easy to setup and the options while ...

Quick review of Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G
Review of Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G - wireless router by only_doing_my_duty

If you are considering this router please, please be wary of the version number, it can be found on the bottom next to the serial number. We made the mistake of thinking that there was one version and as a result ended up with a bricked router, no amount of firmware updates could fix it and in the end we opted for dd-wrt, an open source Linux firmware rewrite, which although very technical, ended up being a very nice option rather than binning the router. Make sure that you don't end up with a V5 and you'll be fine other wise you're in for a lot of headaches. You Have Been Warned.

Wireless-Great Broadband Router
Review of Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G - wireless router by kirkwood132

Advantages: Price, signal strength
Disadvantages: small disadvantage in setup

I actually bought this item because of the reviews on this site. It was relatively cheap comparing it with competitors but that doesnt matter because it rocks. I have had it for a few weeks now and its range is around 20-30m. I keep it in my garage and it still penetrates the concrete walls and gives good reception for all of my wireless devices. I use it for my psp and laptop. It allows me to play online with the psp and that is just amazing ... Read review

Review of Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G - wireless router by FlameDruid

Advantages: No wires. Laptop online as you walk.
Disadvantages: Watch your security settings. Avoid warchalkers.

...which gave me the relevant Linksys support page and then it was really easy. I don't want my neighbours checking out the family photos after all! If you don't set a code then anyone with a laptop that can pick up these kinds of transmissions could sit outside in a car messing with your hard drive. This means that figuring out the 'WPA pre-shared key' - uninviting as it may sound - is well worth the effort. Now I can email people in bed or in the ... Read review

Advantages: Very Easy to setup, v.good range, good looking piece of equipment

As Linksys is owned by Cisco when you purchase this router you know you're purchasing something which will last and will be reliable.

The router part protects my home network from intrusion and allows me to setup a secure VPN so I can access my network elsewhere. You can open ports to allow applications to access any PCs on ...
