Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless G Router

Duration of ownership: 2 Days
Strengths: Connects much faster
Weaknesses:none
Overall Evaluation: I upgraded from a Linksys 802.11b because it was too slow with the new "Vista" and it could no longer be updated. I purchased this WRT54G2 and it does everything it claims.I am very pleased with its speed and its distance it sends signal.This router transmits a signal through five walls and it shows a 54 mbps signal at the desktop pc that is almost two hundred feet from the router.It also has a security feature that was easy to set up.

Strengths: Easy to set up, range is acceptable in this home, and it looks futuristic and cool
Weaknesses:The unit takes up precious desk space
Overall Evaluation: I replaced a friend's old Wireless-G Router/Switch/Access Point by SMC. This worked so much better than his older unit. For his use...he gets acceptable speed and distance in his home. GOOD JOB LINKSYS!

Strengths: Easy to set up, great range and looks good
Weaknesses:None
Overall Evaluation: I upgraded from a Trendnet after being frustrated with it for a month and difference was amazing. The linksys set up was great and works flawlessly.Also I hear you can customize a lot of the firmware but have not tried it yet.

Strengths: Works very well.
Weaknesses:I'm not very knowledgeable in the computer area, so it took me a while to get my settings right.
Overall Evaluation: It's great not to be connected to the desk. I'm still not quite sure if my security settings are correct, and I've yet to figure out how to print wirelessly...but those are operator issues, I suspect! Overall, I love it and would recommend this router to others.

Strengths: Extreme ease of set-up. Excellent software available for download. Great performance.
Weaknesses:Unable to upgrade antenna. Odd looks.
Overall Evaluation: This is the second generation router based on the rock-solid Linksys WRT54G that has been available for a long time. The setup was quick and painless and I recommend downloading the software to manage the network. The pros far outweigh the cons for me considering performance and ease of use are top priority for me. The looks of the router seem "spacey" and I thought they would have shrunken the overall size of the router down. It still takes up some prime real estate on your desk.
