Advantages: Easy of Installation, Backwards Compatible, Price
Disadvantages: Only compatible in PC's

...The Linksys Wireless-G PCI card is perfect for adding Wireless functionality to your home Computer and is a definite buy if you are building your own home wireless network. Before buying its worth checking that you have a spare PCI slot in your PC, installation is nothing more daunting than removing the cover of your computer (powered off of course!!) and slotting the card into one of the free PCU slots. If you are running Windows XP the operating system will detect the new card automatically and prompt you for the driver CD, other operating systems will require that you insert the CD first. The card comes with a quick start guide which contains more than adequate instructions for installation; however for the more advanced user there is a full instruction manual in electronic form on the enclosed CD-ROM. It is backwards compatible... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, good extension
Disadvantages: Website hard to find help on

...This is a Lynksys Wireless-G range extender. It is for a network, whether home or office, that needs more reach on it that save the hassel of buying more routers. This Range extender from Linksys is a very useful piece of kit. Was very easy to set up (once I typed the correct MAC address into my gateway) and provides the range I need to go over about 30 metres and through several big thick brick walls. I was having trouble with just my router so i turned to the internet and this is what i found. I combined it with a new antenna on my PC and my signal is now 5 bars! Much better than a half of one! The Wireless-G Range Expander is compatible with the Linksys WAP54G Access Point, and both the WRT54G and WRT54GS Wireless Routers. It works with both Wireless-G and Wireless-B clients so you'll get the benefits of increased coverage, even... Read review

Advantages: Very quick and can handle a lot.
Disadvantages: NONE.

...This is a very good wireless router. I have set up two networks now using this. The software is very easy to use and requires minimal effort. The cd guides you through step by step checking your connection and asking you only relevant details that you can acquire from your internet service provider. It can handle a lot of data transfer and can accept numerous computer connections at once. It accepts many types of security and is very reliable. It never cuts out and it broadcasts a signal a long way into my garden and field. Highly recommended, easy to use, doesn't get too hot, isn't unsightly. Very good router. Never overloads!!!!! Buy it definately. You will never go back to cables again...trust me! Linksys are also very helpful with a one 2 one chat facility online to get help with your queries!!!!!!! Along with this I have... Read review

Advantages: easy setup, good range, excellent value for money
Disadvantages: none so far

...The BT USB modem which came with our broadband package worked fine, but needed changing when we wanted to network the family's computers together. After much reading of reviews and visiting many forums on the subject we chose the Linksys WAG354G ADSL Home Gateway and, at £49.95 from Amazon, it looked very good value, especially as P&P was included. Linksys is part of Cisco Systems, a recognised expert in the field of computer networking. The Linksys Home Gateway combines 4 functions in one small box: an ADSL2+ modem, a hardware firewall and a 4 port switch and wireless access point. Not only can all the family's computers be on line at the same time anywhere in the house, but everyone can access both the printer and scanner attached to our main computer. You can connect up to 4 computers through its 10/100 ethernet switch and up... Read review

Advantages: Price / Easy Installation
Disadvantages: WEP problems 128mb

...I was about to give up on trying a wireless network when I came across the PCI card. I had already tried some wireless UB adapters and found I could only stay connected for 30 minutes tops! The first time I installed the card into my computer I was online for 6 hours. I've only had the card for about a week now, but I've never experienced it disconnecting me from the conncetion, which is what I was looking for all along. The installation is very easy, you just install the software that is given to you by Linksys on a CD ROM, turn the PC off insert the PCI wireless network card, turn on the PC and the hardware automatically gets installed, it was a doddle. The price range is from £39.99-£59.99 from all good computer stores. The Card comes with a 12 month warrenty. I recommend this piece of wireless hardware except for the security... Read review

Advantages: Easy to install, use and configure.
Disadvantages: Gets hot after a while of constant use.

...When I recieved my laptop and bought my Linksys WRT54G Wireless Broadband Router, I needed to add wireless functionality to my laptop - that unfortunately wasn't powered by the Intel Centrino technology that has now been introduced. Seeing as I bought a Linksys router, I went ahead and bought a Linksys wireless adapter as well. The Packaging - The product is neatly packaged and very well protected in an anti-static pouch and is snuggled in it's plastic tray. All the documentation is packaged neatly and diagramatical setup instructions are printed on the back of the box. I found this quite handy when I wasn't bothered to read the instruction booklet. The Installation - The installation is quick and simple and the software installation CD provided was very easy to understand and install. It used diagrams as well as text to decribe how...

Disadvantages: A little clumsy and obtrusive

...This is a review of the Linksys Wireless N USB adapter. Following my review of the Linksys wireless N router I thought I’d follow it up with the other component that makes the system complete! So what’s this then? ------------------------ This is a USB adaptor for laptops and PC’s that connects to the wireless network in your home or at work and allows you to access the internet, email, download stuff etc. (even post more reviews on Ciao!) What’s different about this? ---------------------------------- Wireless N is the new upgraded wireless protocol to wireless G. The range and spped is increased so when you’re sat upstairs with your laptop or in the garden, the signal will be faster and stronger. Wireless N is much more adapted to travelling through walls and obstacles. The download speed is also up to 12 times faster than wireless... Read review

Advantages: reliable, cheap for its functionality, fast, stylish, clever, easy to use, versatile
Disadvantages: none

...This product is fantastic. I had no problems setting it up. Instant connection, has 1 wan port, 4 lan ports, 3 wireless aerials, and a power input. It has a massive range even through walls. My connection isnt fast enough to eve get close to the 100+ mbs this bad boy can produce. This router is awesome. Doesnt break, easy set up. Massive range, from a respected company. Wide support, and upgrade in firmware has fixed the bugs. I thought this product might be faulty when i got it, was a little worried, but this blew my expectations out the window. Featuring n, g, b and a connections means it a so versatile, i can have 4 connections all on different waves. I recommend this product to anyone who wants a reliable router that can produce an amazing connection that doesnt fail you. Buy this router it is reliable, cheap for its functionality... Read review

Advantages: best way to get a wired ethernet port at the other end of a wireless connection
Disadvantages: none

...This is a fabulous product! It is absolutely the BEST way to get wired ethernet at other end of a wireless connection. his is a wireless bridge. It is like hanging a 6-port switch off one of the wired ethernet ports on your wired+wireless router, in that it gives you four more ethernet ports. However, it connects to your router wirelessly, so you can put it anywhere, and it doesn't use up any of the existing wired ethernet ports. With this device, you can have four more ethernet ports, equivalent to the ones that are on your wireless router, but but they can be anywhere in your home or office, because they are connected to the router wirelessly. If you need a wireless connection to a device or computer that cannot use a dedicated wireless adapter, then a wireless bridge, like this, is the only way to do it. I also have a Linksys WET...

Disadvantages: Blue makes it uneasy on the eye and gets hot.

...I am a student who recieved a laptop for Christmas and wanted a way to surf the internet and play games etc. through my cable internet connection from the main computer in my house. I bought this little beauty and a wireless PCI card for my laptop; both Linksys. The Price: The price has come done considerably since I bought it just before the summer last year (2005) and it's even better now for what you get. The Specs: The router sports 2 antenna for your wireless needs and the wireless signal reaches far beyond my garden fence (10m away from house). I played Wolfenstein in my garden happily without any lag or connection loss - this was through one wall and a tent. The router has, as well as the wireless option, room for up to 4 cable-based computers or accessories to share the connection. This is handy for other hardware... Read review
