Linksys by Cisco WRT54G2 Wireless-G Router


Quite simply, it works
Out of the box, set up in 2 minutes, completely straight forward and it did a lot of it itself simply asking me to set passwords and network names. 10 minutes later, 2 PC's, a Wii and an XBox 360 were all connected wirelessly. The signal range covers a semi-detatched more than adequately.
router does what it says on the tin
decent packaging. Protected well
up and running in minutes
easy access to net config
multiple laptops and xbox live all sorted in minutes, compared to my last cheap purchase.....you get what you pay for i suppose.
Outstanding router, but problematic software.
A week later after the initial installation I must say that I am pretty happy with the router performance and style, but the first two days were a complete nightmare with the support/setup software. My advice is to AVOID THE LINKSYS SOFTWARE and use regular Windows application to connect/setup. This is my experience: I followed the indications to install the software first, but this resulted several minutes and then hours of waiting the software to setup and install, at the end the Linksys software hitted very hard on my PC resoucers and performance and I found that I have to connect to the router MANUALLY EVERYTIME, even after hibernation or stand-by. Tired of trying to find a fix or workaround I uninstalled the linksys software and decided to used the well known Windows wireless services to manage the connection but I found that the "Windows Zero Connect" service was not available, will not start automatically and have to start it manually EVERYTIME, then go the wireless advanced...
