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

.... 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 to department. 1 place. 1 person. The Overview: A great price for a great piece of hardware. This is perfect for the small network or home user. Although the wireless security options (WEP etc.) it offers is a little out of date, it does the trick and although the 'G' standard is being replaced, it still offers high-speeds that are enough for any casual or hardcore user. Great. My overall score is 8/10.... Read review

...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...

...One day, the father of networks wanted his progeny to evolve their wireless routers and hubs further. He gathered his four apprentices and told them to do so with strict instructions. The first was Belkin. Belkin learnt from his old ways and became faster and more reliable than ever before. The second was Netgear. It decided to take the reliable route as reliability was a better cause, and speed should take secondary priority, although is is rather fast. The third was Buffalo. Contrary to Netgear, Buffalo took the speed path and have reliable as a secondary priority, although it is very reliable. The last was Linksys. Seeing that his classmates have all taken the routes 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... Read review

...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. A single PC using... Read review

...I got to know about this wireless WRT54G router from a friend, I saw him using at his home for months with out any hassle, so I bought one for me from my nearest computer shop. After that 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 open the box it has a black adopter just like laptop adapters, one CAT5 network cable, 2 tinny black wireless antennas and the router it self. The router is blue from the front with small lights for ports status... Read review
