...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’.

...nothing. The old Linksys kit, which I wrote about over a year ago only provided for the earlier wi-fi encryption standard called WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy), which it now seems can be hacked if you give the hacker long enough before switching your PC off. Quite apart from that, the old kit cost around £120 including provision for the ‘distant’ PC, whereas this lot cost around £80, and my brother has ‘offered’ to take the old kit off my hands for ...

A bit of technical stuff:- It states a 35% FASTER download speed (I can back this up and say this is true) The speed is listed as 125mbps Gateway Router(DSL) NAT & SP Firewalls Windows XP compatiable only There is also a 24hour phone support line from Linksys.

Great until I got to the page asking me for my gateway id, my dsn numbers, my ip address and so on, found myself on the phone to NTL Broadband support (my telephone/broadband provider) for assistance. Managed to retrieve all the relevant numbers and tried to proceed, but it was not having any of it. After ...

...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 ...
...on the CD crashed, Linksys provide great support and a technical adviser pointed me to their other setup utility within 5 minutes of my problem. The Support: The customer support that Linksys provides is magnificent - both by phone and via the 'LiveSupport' offered on their website. I've only used it twice, one by phone and one via the web but each time the problem was sorted in under 2 hours and both times were polite and I wasn't passed from department ...

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

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. ...

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 to ...

The psps web browser works great with this router and because the router supports many forms of encryption you can rest assured that it will not be using your internet connection for other people to be committing illegal acts on the internet.

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 ...
