Linksys - Reliable, Speedy but BAD Installation

Advantages: Reliable, Speed, Features
Disadvantages: Installation

Introduction ************* The linksys router is built to allow a wireless internet connection within three hundred meters by connecting to an internet connection from another computer as well as offering multiple security abilities. Not only is it meant to be able to send a wireless signal but allow for other computers near by connecting to the router through Ethernet cables. I had this wireless router bought me for Christmas by a family member ...
...not a happy bunny with linksys because I want the sort of router that I can take out the box and it will work perfectly after saying out loud “one, two, three”. Since installing the router and having all of those problems it has done a excellent job of keeping me online because all I have to do now is turn on the power at the plug and I have a reliable wireless internet connection. Design ******** The router looks very smart with its foldable antennas ...

Very smart router ....

Advantages: Easy to install and configure
Disadvantages: Very few 'instructions' on security

...(these can be downloaded from Linksys site). When I bought my WRT54GS router for £49.99, I was fortunate to get a free Linksys usb network adapter (worth £39.99). My pc came with a network card and aerial already installed, so I was intending to save the usb adapter for my old pc and have that wireless too. Using the cd that came with the router, I had it set up within half an hour. The only problem was that my signal kept coming and going - even ...
...network card and installed the Linksys usb network adaptor instead. It worked perfectly from the beginning. It may just have been a fault with my original network card, but to be on the safe side when I bought another network card for my old pc, I bought another Linksys. The installation disks for both the usb adaptor and the router were excellent, and very easy to understand - but they only tell you how set up basic security. You are told to install ...

Wireless Joy

Advantages: Linux Based Firmware: Easy for thirdparties to add new features
Disadvantages: There are much better looking routers out there.

The Linksys WRT54GS in my honourable opinion is a great piece of kit. First of all its a product of Cisco Systems, which to me instantly suggests "decent box" as Cisco is one of (if not THE) biggest names in networking. And second, after running this box as the core of my network for almost 12 months now, Ive found it to be a reliable and more secure than some of the previous routers I have owned. I must admit there are much better looking routers ...
...lack of guidance provided by Linksys in the way of instructions on how to securely setup your wireless connection. Although I found a plethora of information on this with the help of a certain search engine ;-) During my searches for this information I stumbled across various websites that explain how the firmware that runs this box can be developed by anyone as it was written in Linux and therefore is open source. Now for anyone who who wants ...

Quick review of Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster WRT54GS - wireless router

Let me sum up this router quickly for your convenience It is easy to install, and if your wireless devices are not far it will give good wireless reception and if your going to use it as a step up booster it work well as that to. However i would recommend adding a bit more money and buying an n or n1 router as it will be more convenient and will give you a larger range there you go my short review ...

Linksys Router

Advantages: Easy to setup, easy to "admin", stacks with other linksys products
Disadvantages: Gets a bit hot

...and i generally get "good" or "excelent" signal anywhere in the house. Overall, this router is very nice, easy to maintain and use and really not that bad on the eye. Linksys have good product support, regular "firmware" upgrades and good customer support when/if u do run into trouble. ...

An easy wireless solution

Advantages: Very reliable and easy to setup
Disadvantages: Sometimes dropps off with Macintosh

Having two laptops and 1 pc the house, it is critical that a wireless system is reliable and easy to setup. We run PC and Macintosh laptops plus a deck based PC covering 4 floors in our home. I have run all mahines with a mixture of DHCP and static IP addresses and also have a wireless print server attached. Everything was dead easy to setup and the only slight problem is with Macintosh omputers loosing the signal periodically. I have yet to figure ...
...wifi receiver on the laptop. Either way, re-booting the gateway does the trick everytime. The web user interface is simple to login to and easy to navigate and modify if neccessary. There is also a feature to back settings iincase of any tragedies and it is easy to respore previous settings. In all, this is a clever gadget that works perfectly and is very reasonably priced. ...
