Description
The Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G, Wireless-B, and other performance-enhanced SpeedBooster devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

Strengths: Works - Works well!
Weakness: None I've come across
What can I say, this router was easy to set up and works like a champ. I've always had good experiences with Linksys and will continue to purchase their goods.
Strengths: has install CD and also the quick-setup option, ease of set-up
Weakness: same as any wireless, if you close the doors in your house, your signal goes down.
take your time, read the instructions, used the CD and also the quick-setup option, go to router website, there are lots of help options to click on. I bought matching pc card. Had no conflicts with xp/sp2. One is a Dell desktop pc with 10/100/1000 ethernet and win XP/sp2 Media Center, the other has 10/100 ethernet with XP/sp2 that I built myself, also a desktop. Install CD first on Main PC, then...
Strengths: Easy to use, Good security features.
Weakness: Range could be better
This router is very easy to use, The range could be better. With a "speedbooster" card for your notebook ($80 at bestbuy) you can get better range and use the speedboosting. I highly remend this router for the price. This is my third Linksys product, I am very satisfied with the line.
Strengths: Great signal strength, have 80% signal 4 rooms and 1 story away.
Weakness: 802.11B doesn't support many "high security" levels, so devices (PDA's especially) which don't yet use 802.11G will require you to bust security down to 128 bit WEP.
I really like this router, I bought it the day it became available at BestBuy (April 2004); in fact I bought this about 2 weeks before I bought my wireless card for it ;)... The built in router is definitely nice, I myself reserve the ports on the router for daisy chaining to other devices (switches and my Vonage router). I would recommend this to anyone who wants a high security wireless system,...
Strengths: Easy to setup. Reliabe. Speed and range are very good. High security wireless. No interfence with other wireless devices.
Weakness: none
Just put in a CD and follow its instruction to setup the router. The router gives excellent signal strength and fast speed for wireless. Just put it in higher ground for more range. It has WAP high security for wireless. Just remember to change the router's password and activate WAP (new firmware 4.70.6 makes it easier to do this). It doesn't interfence with other 2.4 GHz devices like phones. My...
Strengths: Good Signal Strength.
Weakness: Little bit expensive.
Installing was very easy. Wireless range is excellent. Network speed is high. I use different cards including Cisco Aironet, Linksys and Netgear PC cards with this router. All cards works great with this router. I can get 95% of cable modem bandwidth on the note book computers even if I use 128 bit encryption on my router. I would recommend this to anyone.
Strengths: Very fast speeds, and strong signal throughout my 2000 sq/ft house. Works great with my Netgear b/g pc card. Nothing beats working from your backyard. =)
Weakness: Strong security not enabled by default. No complete list of updates for their firmware, only incremental.
This wireless router is great. I was able to install it and have it connected to my laptop wirelessly in about 30 minutes. It would've been 2 minutes, but I'm security conscious and made sure to immediately 1) change the default password 2) enable 128bit WEP encryption 3) update to the latest firmware 4) set port forwarding for ports 80 and 443 to redirect to a non-existant ip address. The last...
Strengths: Good Distance ability and speed, WPA-PSK Encryption and others, Great Tutorial info
Weakness: No wall mounting bracket.
I recently purchased the Linksys WRT54GS router and 2 WMP54GS PCI adapters cards for my 2 desktop pcs. In short, they work great. I get connection speeds from 54 - 125 MHz on both computers, one on the same floor, one upstairs. I use the router to connect to my DSL modem which came with my Earthlink DSL subscription. I knew almost nothing about the wireless security so I was a little hesitant to...
Strengths: Runs Linux, easy to upgrade, strong signal coverage, fast
Weakness: The default web UI could use a little more work, but custom firmware solves this for the most part
This wireless router is a dream. The main reason I bought it is because it runs linux and is highly configurable, especially if one installs one of the custom firmwares available on various websites. Just like the WRT54G, this router has a huge community and following, which I value a lot. Despite not having a "speedboost" wireless card, wireless connections are still very fast. I'm also pleased...

Like the original unit, the WRT54GS utilizes a single 2.4GHz channel that is...

This Linksys router uses SecureEasySetup (SES), a technology developed by Broadcom that allows you to press a button on the router, and then click another button on the PC Card control panel to enable WPA security. The WRT54GS uses easy-to-understand install wizards that walk you through exactly what to connect and how, and bypasses some of the engineering-speak that we found in Buffalo’s...

Slight variation on the WRT54G provides a throughput boost with strong signals, but worse performance with lower signal strength

Linksys Is Now On My NEVER-BUY-FROM-THEM List
Strengths: You tell me
Weakness: Providing a working device without customer hassle
I helped a very hesitant relative pick out a wireless router for his home and we decided Linksys was the most inexpensive on the shelf providing the needed capabilities. Now you can change the word "inexpensive" to "cheapest" with all the connotations that word has about product quality. The WRT54GS stopped working after 2 months, which was 1 month beyond the distributing store's return policy...
