 Decent router great design June 9, 2008

This is your basic 802.11g, 54mbps router. As far as usage goes it has been very stable and I've only needed to power cycle it once but not for loss of connectivity but more for a slight loss of performance (I could not stream video from one computer to another without the video skipping and in general lagging. However in total fairness this could have been an issue with the computers themselves rather than the router.) As a gaming router I hooked up my Xbox 360 to it and it works great no NAT restriction problems (Keep in mind that if your ISP restricts your NAT then there is little you can do to help that with this router.) What I really like about this router is its design no goofy looking antennas. Other than that it is a pretty standard router that does not do anything particularly outstanding and you could take that as a good thing hence the 4 stars.
Bottom line I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a decent 802.11g/b router however if you have the extra cash lying around maybe you should look in to buying an 802.11 n/g/b router if not just for the sake of being future proof.
 Worst Router I have ever owned July 14, 2008

I purchased this 1 month ago replacing a netgear b (11 mb) router. It was easy to set up and got working within 10 minutes. I had a few issues the first week where it would disconnect quite a bit and slow down often. I place it in another spot and thought maybe interference from the unknown caused the issue. I changed the frequency of transmission through all the 11 possible channels and still it does not work consistenty. I am going to try and send it back to Amazon, if they won't take it back I will go Office Space on it with a golf club.

Product looks good and works great. I had tons of trouble getting the product to work correctly due to my limited knowledge only. I've had a desktop computer for about 4 years now running on XP and it was my first computer - I'm almost 60 years old now. I decided to buy me a laptop with VISTA and learn the new operating system before the old one quits. No where did I see in the instructions that I had to hook up an ethernet cable to my laptop to setup and configure the router. I hooked it up to my desktop and configured it first. Did not work on Wi-Fi with my laptop. Talked to Toshiba reps, Linksys reps etc. Spent hours on the phone going to different screens and typing in all kinds of IP's or whatever. I'm a second grader when it comes to computers. From what I've read you don't even need to download the CD but please tell people to download it in their laptop and not their desktop. It dawned on me to do it that way this morning and it works just fine now and took about 5 minutes. From what I understand now the only WiFi computer that will work with my router is the one I have because of the security code. When I had first configured the router with my desktop my laptop was receiving an excellent signal from the router but could not connect because of the security key. Sorry about all the yapping in just a product rating forum. Still fun to learn with an older brain. First time laptop user with a touch pad, VISTA, and hooking up a router.
 Easy set up, but very limited range August 4, 2008

Set up was very easy, but I have been very disappointed with the severely limited range. I'll be sending it back.
So easy even a dope like me can set it up! May 2, 2008

I was incredibly intimidated by the idea of setting up a router so I was diligent in my research. Just as I finally decided to bite the bullet to buy one of the other Linksys G routers they released this model. I liked the fact that it is sleek and there are no external antennae that you have to consider in trying to locate a space for the router. There weren't too many reviews for it because it was that new, but the reviews I did find were all favorable. Amazon got it to me quicker than they said they would and it was very easy to set up. The only problem I had was self-inflicted when I tried playing around with some of the settings, but the tech service was very cooperative and bailed me out. It's been smooth sailing ever since. All in all I am very satisfied with this product!
