Linksys's Lightning fast wireless router

Advantages: Fast speeds, Reliable, Stylish
Disadvantages: I had wireless problems, Gets a bit warm, no restart router option in config

...the wireless connection despite the signal strength being excellent. This resulted in a lot of whinging from my parents and a lot of head scratching by myself. I've tried several USB dongles to try to resolve this problem to no avail. These include a Netgear Wireless N RangeMax USB dongle, a Linksys Wireless N USB dongle and even a Negear PCI 54G wireless card. The machines are only about 7 metres from the router with just one wall with a window so not sure why. Interference en-route? Switching to a Belkin wireless router resolved the problem so I?m suspecting the Belkin performs better than the Linksys, which is a shame for the Linksys. On a brighter note, the wireless connection on my PC when I was using the Linksys, using a Linksys Wireless N USB dongle, is solid. Reliability is excellent and only times I've lost the connection was...

Review of Linksys Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway WAG160N - wireless router - DSL - 802.11b/g/n (draft 2.0) - desktop

Linksys Wireless Router - Is it Reliable??

Advantages: Reliable, well priced and gives you freedom to move around the house!
Disadvantages: Settings dont always refresh after a power cut.

...I can honestly say that YES it is fairly reliable and has done me good over the last few years with little to no problems. Its easy to setup although a bit more technical wisdom may be needed to setup the security. I set mine up with a 28 bit WEP key. Always make sure you change your default password and username otherwise it could easily be hacked. My Internet provider has always been NTL / Virgin media and I was recomended by them that this router is highly compatible with their broadband services. Being an avid gamer and PC user it was a necessity for me to get wireless access especialy as my mum and sister use the Internet. It was a good solution for us that would allow us all to connect where ever we were around the house. I never seem to have any slowness issues when using the wireless even when other people are connected...

Review of Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54GL - wireless router - 802.11b/g - desktop

Linksys Wireless-G - Heh, It's Winking At Me

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

...off my hands for 30 quid, so at £50 it?s a cheap upgrade. LINKSYS WIRELESS-G BROADBAND ROUTER (WRT54G) As you?ll see, they?ve streamlined the name of these things in the last year or so! This is a typical Linksys job to look at, being of a common corporate stackable design about the size that modems used to be, with a couple of ?1st generation? rubber cell-phone antennae sticking out of the back. This one doesn?t quite have the full array of pretty lights that its predecessor had, but this has enabled then to make it a lower profile than my old one. Its power comes from the usual outboard mains adapter, enabling the Cisco, the parent company to supply more or less the same equipment worldwide. The only other accessory supplied, apart from the installation disk is the extra bit of networking cable you?ll need ? I?ll explain...
