The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there`s the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There`s also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

Very Good Value:
I originally bought this in order to load DD-WRT (3rd party firmware) and create a wireless client for my XBox 360 and Samsung BluRay player. As it happens, the router I received was a v1.5, which is currently unsupported by DD-WRT. That didn't pose a problem, since I just ended up using my main router as the client and putting this in its place. If you are familiar with the Linksys router GUI, then you will have no problems setting this up. I didn't even bother with the setup disk, and was able to get this... more info
Dead in 3 months:
I brought this router last november, considering it was one of the best selling device. Easy to setup, it was working well and suddenly it stopped working. No matter what I did, it was impossible to detect the wireless network, and days after the router was not able to get the IP address from my cable modem.
I contact Linksys support and after 2 hours of troubleshooting the only option they gave me was to returned to Amazon.
Disappointed with the router and with the technical support. Not... more info
No good after Lynksys was bought out by Cisco:
Had older model Linksys router for a long time with excellent results. It finally died of old age but having been a quality router I ordered an exact model. It wouldn't even work so I returned it and chose this one as an upgrade. My original would send a signal from a room in the rear of my house the length of my house to the street. This was about 100ft. This router made by Cisco will give me a low or very low signal to my living room. This is about 25 feet or less. Then it will drop the connection and at... more info
Junk:
I received this router for a christmas present. It was easy to set-up and worked for about a month. It was accidentally unplugged for all of 10 seconds, and has not worked since. I have re-installed it twice, and nothing. My computer connects to my network, but there is no signal strength and I do not receive internet. Even the ethernet ports do not work when wired to my computer. Many people have the same problem, and I cannot understand what is happening or why. I've tried all sorts of fixes, from working... more info
