Includes: power adapter, Ethernet network cable, user guide on CD-ROM, setup CD-ROM, & more. With the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games with flexibility, speed, and security! The Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX 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 SRX 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.
The Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX combines smart antenna technology with standards-based Wireless-G (802.11g) networking. By overlaying the signals of two Wireless-G compatible radios, the "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology effectively doubles the data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 3 times farther than standard Wireless-G. And the farther away you are, the more advantage you get -- the higher data rate and reflection-friendly technology can yield up to 8 times more throughput than Wireless-G in some situations. The router avoids interference by dynamically switching to the clearest channel available. Even your standard Wireless-G and -B equipment will work better when communicating with SRX-enabled devices.

High performance 
2007-08-31
I have a Vista OS so the CD that came in the box with router was useless. Went to website/tech. support and linksys has a very easy download (easylink home networking tools) which got me going in 15 minutes. Router has very strong security features. I was initially disappointed with laptop performance then I downloadeded the linksys (easylink advisor) to the laptop and my performance max-ed out from every spot in the house I could'nt hold a connection using the old G wireless router. I'm very pleased!
It worked just fine

Im new to the wireless internet game and I must admit that I dont know very much about wireless routers. I bought this based on its reviews online and I must say that Im very happy with my purchase. I live in a brand new home with plenty of walls and rooms and with the router at the edge of the house, I was still able to get internet connection. The installation disk was really straight forward and i got the router working in just under 10 minutes. Overall I found it a great by and an awesome addition to the computer stuff I have
Works Fabulous 2007-05-26
This product could not have been easier to set up. My only complaint is that the set up disk that came with the product did not work and actually hung up my machine, so had to set up manually. However, I do not see that as a big deal since it is possible the disk was just bad. Using the user's guide was a snap. I have been up and running since I purchased and setup/installed the product. It was recommended to me and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to go wireless. I have not bothered to set up the security on it so I cannot comment on how that would work or how easy or difficult it is to set up.
suddenly stops working

I managed to set up wireless no problem but then a few weeks later it stopped working. I managed to get it started again only for it to fail again. I'm somewhat disappointed.
Linksys WRT54GX-G Broadband Router with SRX 2007-04-08
Received item promptly! Had some initail trouble installing on new Windows Vista computer system, but as always Linksys' phone support was superb! Expect unit to perform admirably as others have in the past. DWH
Easy setup, ugly, poor wireless 2007-12-16
I bought this to replace a netgear product I had had for quite some time. I have not been overly impressed by the range on this thing, but most of all I found, like the netgear, that far too often, I need to do a long powercycle just to get the wireless back online!
Pros:
- very easy to set up with a lot of options
Cons:
- ugly
- power cycle required to kickstart wireless once in awhile
Standard amount of powers (4) I wish they would make these with 6.
Awesome! 2007-12-15
I've had my system for well over a year. I used to have a Linksys all-in-one cable modem / wireless router, but it died after my cable got struck by lightning. The cable company came out and installed a new modem, so I needed the wireless router. A friend of mine raved about signal strength 100 feet outside, through the stone walls of his house, so I decided to give the SRX a try.
WOW! I honestly don't remember issues during installation. Wireless in general is a pain, but...
Where 802.11b provides 11mbp/s and g provides 54, I get 102, from anywhere in or near my house. Of course you need an SRX card in your PC to get the full benefit, but the package was absolutely well worth the money.
Excelente! 2007-10-13
Es excelente, alcance y potencia en convinación con el PCI Adapter del mismo modelo te ofrecen 108Mbps.
Works well but a bit complicated to setup with the security feature 2007-09-17
It took me several tries to get it to work with the encryption on. I contacted Cisco and they helped a great deal. I used their web chat and they sent me the content of the 2 conversations I had with them directly to my e-mail address. Setting up the router with the CD is horrible, my password kept being rejected. I used the IP address and my browser, took no time after that.
Good working system, but needs to reconnect often 2007-09-04
I have had this wireless router for about a month now, and overall, it works pretty well. I have connected it to my desktop computer in the den and I get a good signal in my kitchen which is on the other side of the house. However, several times, I lose the connection and have to reconnect.
The setup was not too bad, but I did have to contact my DSL provider to get some information on the settings. For being my very first wireless router installation, it was not too bad. I would say it took me about 90 minutes to get everything set up from taking it out of the box to connecting wirelessly with the computer in the other room.
I would certainly purchase another linksys router.
