NO VISTA SUPPORT

Don't buy the WMB54G!! unless you like headaches
, July 3, 2006Reviewer: Josephb - See all Josephb's reviewsPros: Nothing
Cons: No support. Impossible to setup and configure
I made the mistake of buying the Linksys WMB54G even after I read the CNET review that stated that the setup of the unit was difficult if not impossible (not quote, but implication).
I bought the unit two days ago and I've yet to get it to work and I am an intermediate to advanced PC user.
The instructions in the form of a setup guide suck.
You can do like I did...go buy it, try to configure it unsuccessfully for two days, lose sleep, keep reseting the unit hoping that "this time" it'll see your wireless network and work. (check out the CNET review)
You can also go to the Linksys forum and read the posts. none are positive, AND no one at Linksys responds or has any solutions!
...OR you can save yourself the migraine(s) and pass this piece of junk up.
Just a suggestion. ...

Pros: Creativity of fraudulent CISCO marketers
Cons: Can't use it with Vista; Zero support when you find out
I purchased this WMB54G unit after reviewing it extensively. I noticed on the materials that Vista was not listed on the box as an operating system. BUT, on the outside of the package, in BIG BOLD letters was...WORKS WITH VISTA!
I got it home. In the box was the standard set-up instructions...and a loose one page addendum. The addendum referred me to the Linksys Vista Support site. The addendum indicated that instead of following the provided set-up instructions, I should download my drivers from the website.
Well, I made my way to their website...I scrolled down until I found the model number for this unit...and what did I find? "Not Supported".
I got on their support chat line to find out what was going on. The only support I got was that the person on the other end confirmed that Vista is not supported for the product and that "Top Management" had not informed the support team when it would be supported.
I indicated that I could not return the product and asked what Linksys/Cisco was prepared to do to help me. Guess what I got back? "You'll need to talk to customer support. I can only help with technical problems". Guess what again? On the Customer Support section of the site...there is no chat line and no number to call.
Bottom line: This WMB54G product was marketed fraudulently and there is not after sale support to address the issues. If you have VISTA...do not buy this product. I'd question the whole decision to buy Linksys/Cisco given this fundamental breach of common and appropriate business values as well. ...
