    Good Basic Wireless LAN Router

    By Allen  Sep 11, 2005 | 5 out of 7 found this Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G with SpeedBooster Broadband review helpful

    Pros: Stable, good range, nice looks

    Cons: no Mac instructions, some features lacking

    I bought this router to replace a D-Link DI-624 which is a piece of junk. This router is 100 times better, but I do miss some of the more advanced features of the DI-624. I have a Mac/PC environment, both wired and wireless. When I got this router i...t didn't so much even mention the Mac, which is stupid. Setup, Linksys describes it, amounts to running a Windows program, which may or may not find your connected router. If it doesn't, your basically out of luck. In reality, you can connect this router up to either a Mac, PC, or Unix box, and get it configured without any utility. Just communicate with it, set the IP correctly, then hook it up normally using its web pages. The problem with the Linksys method of configuration it that its not likely to work for beginners, and is too basic for advanced users. Oh, well, someday they will learn that Windows setup "helpers" are not the way to go, or at least not the only way to go. In any case, this router is a pl Read more Less

    Just purchased today

    By Ken  Aug 28, 2004 | 5 out of 8 found this Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G with SpeedBooster Broadband review helpful

    Pros: versatility

    Cons: troubleshooting, disconnects, tech support

    I just purchased the wireless router due to being in a new apartment where i have 2 computers and a PS2 that use my cable modem. I bought the router with the matching wireless-g network cards and proceed to install. After a grueling 4 hours I've ...finally managed to install(correctly) and troubleshoot all problems that have arised(thus far). My advice, if you buy the network card and router, install both at the same time. Read more Less

    Linksys wrt54gs router with speedbooster

    By Dado wins  Mar 7, 2005 | 2 out of 3 found this Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G with SpeedBooster Broadband review helpful

    Pros: Support, ease of use, Speed, Distance

    Cons: changing a password

    Had no trouble getting on line with this linksys router, after a quick call to tech support, which was my error, I already had a linksys card for my laptop, but I needed the new driver installed on the laptop for the Speedbooster, which works just fi...ne with the g card. After that little problem was solved I was up and running. There website is very good at solving a problem or for support. When I've had to call linksys for support I had no problems, and they solved it in minutes. The range of the router goes about 60 ft. for sure, I have the router at one end of our house and can get service to the other end. I,ve used it outside on the porch with no problems. I've also had no problems with a cordless phone interfering with the router. In all I am very satisfied with the Linksys 54GS speedbooster router, I did look at all routers and choose the 54GS for it's speed, name, and other reviews I read, and have no regrets!

    Built for wooden homes

    By Asad J  Oct 2, 2006 | 1 out of 1 found this Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G with SpeedBooster Broadband review helpful

    Pros: Easy to use

    Cons: less range

    In countries where houses made from concrete the wireless thing is next to nothing with range of not more than 3 rooms
    If you use the ethernet then its better then the dlink router which had to be reset everyday

    a good upgrade

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 3, 2009

    Pros: stable connection, good range, ability to upgrade firmware, and programable demilitarized zone for gaming,

    Cons: the esay setup button somtimes resets custom settings.

    i just upgraded from the wcg200 although the wcg200 had a better firewall its problems out did the good. with this new wrt54gs i have had no problems with droping signals. i also havent had any speed problems wile multiple users were online either. t...his router has been one of the better routers i have used. i have measured speeds around 18212kbps downstream and about 4000kbps upstream. comparing that to the wcg200 my reading were 3000 down and 1000 up. and these were both on the same isp. the numbers dont lie. obviously a signifacant diffrence between the two. this wrt54gs router also has the option to set aside bandwidth outside its firewall for gaming reasons. and also has the ability to set aside an amount of bandwidth for certain ip's to keep your ping low wile gaming online wile ather user can connect with no effect on you. thares also the option to upgrade the firmware. not only with linksys firmware but athers aswell such as dd-wrt. i recomend this router to anybody in need of a secure and fast connection. and for the gamers this has some good features for you aswell. and for parents. this router has built in website blocking and you can also control times when selected users are allowed to connect aswell. so thares somthing here for everybody. i highley recomend the wrt54gs.

    Beware

    By David  Jan 2, 2009

    Pros: Inexpensive

    Cons: Disconnects

    First install CD was of no use. Had to contact customer support for in manually installing router. When asked why CD didn't do the job - reply was CD doesn't work with some cable/dsl providers.Well after support was given my wireless laptop s...till didn't receive a signal. I then accessed Frontier DSL's FAQ site and found further install instructions regarding this particular router. After that wa-la connection! Then came the next issue - router disconnects at least once per day. When wiFi signal is lost - router has to be powered down then up. Wa-la signal back ....for a while.... Will be returning this router. Read more Less

    Linksys Old to Linksys New..

    By Intruudir  Feb 13, 2008

    Pros: Production Quality, Ease of Use

    Cons: None

    I bought the WRT54GS router from Linksys to rreplace the 5 y/o previous model router.... The older one was lossing it and it was a pain in the Ass to watch her take off. The older model was very difficult to use and was going out repeatedly. This c...ause us to have it re-set time and time again. Our movie model one was easy to make and repeated use of it.
