Product Description
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is three devices in one. The Wireless Access Point lets you connect both 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. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. Your computers can share all kinds of music, digital picture, and document files. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature makes it easy to configure your wireless devices. Just push the button on the Router and on your other Wi-Fi Protected Setup enabled wireless device to automatically create a WPA2 connection that protects your data and privacy with up to 256-bit industrial-strength encryption. The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Advanced configuration is a snap with the web-browser-based interface.

 Open NAT for xbox 360! March 28, 2008
John McCool (Nashville, TN)
73 out of 74 found this review helpful
This was very easy to set up. It took about 5 minutes total to set up the router and have a wireless connection to my desktop. I have an excellent reception to my desktop that sits about 30 feet away in another room. Also, I have my desktop and laptop (both running vista), xbox 360, and ps3 connected to it wirelessly. the xbox 360 NAT is open and the ps3 NAT is type 2. I'm not sure what that stuff means technically, but in normal person terms it means that I can connect to others with no problems. The back of the router has 4 10/100 ethernet connections on it as well if you want a wired connection.
The design of this router is really excellent. The antennas are built into the router and the dimensions of it are really small and thin! This gives you more flexibility of where the router can be placed.
Streaming recorded TV, music, and pictures from my desktop to xbox (using media center) work well for both being connected wireless with no reduction in picture quality.
*Update* I just got the 20" 2.66ghz iMac and connecting it to my linksys was as simple as selecting the network and typing in my password. The router has been up and running several months now with no resets or connection issues. This is a very stable router that requires little to no maintenance.

I had an original WRT54G that I bricked screwing around with the firmware. I needed another router right away, so I picked the WRT54G2 up at my local BB for $50. I was going to spend a lot more for an "N" router, but figured it wasn't worth it for my modest DSL/home network. I had the WRT54G2 up and running within 10 minutes. No problems. No drama. I was concerned about the internal antenna, but I still get a full signal even in my basement. It seems to work very well, and looks much better in my office than the original WRT54G.
 No go with old modem April 29, 2008

If you have old (3 or 4 years old connection) done with DSL modem of SpeedStream 4100 you may have problems with Linksys. Upon installation Linksys program informed me that everything fine, Vista told me network is good, but of course I can't use their (Linksys) secure web site in order to change setting or configure it completely. I understand that my old DSL modem or AT@T is at some fault (incompatibilities with Linksys). But why Linksys doesn't fix it. Or at least they should write on a package "don't try to connect with old modems that run on DSL".
Works fine with a Dell desktop and a Macbook Air April 2, 2008

After reading good reviews in amazon, I bought a WRT54G2 at Circuit City. Although the package doesn't say it supports a Mac and the Circuit City man told me routers are always tricky, implying this might not work fine with a Mac, it works flawlessly with my Dell desktop running Windows Xp and Macbook Air.
The installation was easy, finished in 10 minutes. Macbook Air connected to the Internet at first attempt.
So really there was no problem at all.
Macbook Air supports 802.11n and I could have bought a diffrent router that supports it. But my internet connection is 1.5MB Verizon DSL and I thought 802.11g and 11n do not make any difference in my case.
The range is strong enough to cover my one bed room apartment.
In short, I'm very satisfied with this product.

I was so scared when the box came. I do ok on a computer but i still have a ton to learn. This router was so easy to set up. The cd did every thing. I even set up my play station 3 no problem. So good luck and don't be scarded.
