Neat Setup, great deal 
2008-05-14
The Linksys WRT54G2 is extremely easy to set up. You just put in CD in your computer, and it sets everything up for you. If you are daring, you could go into router's setup via web interface. It is much more complex, however quite easy to configure. It updates the configuration almost immediately when you save the changes to configuration files.
I contacted tech support via live chat, and they were extremely helpful and quick to the point. I had videophone Sorenson VP200 which did not like this router. I wish I could throw out this videophone and get it replaced with something else so I could keep this router. However it is not my "property", and I tried to get it to cooperate with the router, hence contacting tech support who were very helpful (took less than few minutes total). However it appears to be simply firmware issue where the videophone simply decides what it likes or hate something. Sadly, I had to return it. So, if you are using Sorenson Videophone, it is not agreeable with this router.
Very Good Router 2008-05-14
We are very pleased with this router. Setup was extremely easy, I have set up several wireless routers, and this was the easiest set up experience so far. Speed is comparable to the speed we were getting from the cable modem.

Signal and operation seemed ok. They make a fuss about installing software before connecting the router - which seemed silly. I guess it is for people who don't know what they are doing. I didn't bother with the software, and did not have any problems getting things set up. I just looked in the manual for instructions on connecting to the admin interface for the router.
I only had it hooked up for half a day. The problem is - you cannot assign a static IP to a mac address. I have a printer where this is necessary and from what I could tell the only way to do it is to download third party firmware. It is ridiculous that any router would not support such basic functionality.
So - for people who don't care about that, this would be fine, but for me it makes the thing completely useless and I mailed it back to Amazon today. Thank goodness returns are so easy.
Good wireless router easy to use small and convenient 2008-05-08
Easy to install, easy to use, nice compact design with no external antenna to fool with. I had an expensive Belkin that went bad, and this router is just as good at half the price and easier to use.
AWESOME ROUTER(yes I am screaming it) 2008-05-08
My USR5465 burned up on the 89th day of the 90 day warranty and TigerDirect pawned me off to the mfg, they sent me an RMA to return it, I literally mean it burned up smoke and heat and OMG...
This Linksys router set up so easily and practically all by itself in less than 15 minutes, I am using it with my new HP All In One C7280 also from Amazon and everything works great, from my laptop to the PC to the wireless printer, So Cool.
I do believe this is my first 5 star review. 2008-05-08
Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless G Router The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast 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. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. And your computers can share all kinds of files -- music, digital pictures, and documents. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all of your family's digital pictures in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and easing backup to CD-R. Utilize extra free space on one computer when another's hard drive starts to fill up. The new 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 priva
A very difficult company to deal with 
2008-05-06
This is a bad company. I purchased a wireless router from them and, truth be told, it never really worked right. The speed was ok, but it was impossible to set up without tech support and every so often it would simply stop working. When that happened I would be forced to call tech support and spend 30-60 minutes on the phone fighting with them about resetting the router. I recently purchased a new computer and decided to save a little money by moving this router to it. When I called tech support I was told that the router was out of its warranty period and they could not help me... unless I would pay them to. That's right, I would have to pay for the assistance on their product - a working product because it was not under warranty.
So be warned that you are only buying the option to use Linksys' products for a limited time - that is if you have any problems whatsoever that require tech support. I am now trying a Trendnet. Let's see if they are any better.
A Great Product. 2008-05-05
This router installed in minuets. I have used it for almost a month now with no problems of ANY kind. The on-line interface is also easy to use. All in all, I have had no problems at all. The price was also very good. A GREAT all around router.
Completely painless setup 2008-05-04
My old router was no longer working reliabily with the wireless signal. I did a lot of research and decided to settle with this particular router. I was unsure at first due to its internal antenna design. I brought it at a store, took at home, and after opening the box, I was online wired and wirelessly in about five minutes with my Dell running XP Pro, and my iPhone. The enclosed CD for the visual walk through was beautiful. Not once did I need to worry, think, or do anything "technical". There was no reboot, power on or power off of anything. I just plug in the cables and power cord as instructed by each step in the CD. It was totally painless. I couldn't believe it that I was done in 5 minutes.
I tested the wire speed with my pc and it was fine at the normal DSL speed. However, the iPhone only picks up about 3/4 to 5/6 of the normal DSL speed wirelessly; but that is still good enough for me. Since this is just day 1 of using this router, I have yet to test distance, wireless speed consistency and stability, other wireless pc, and notebook.
100% satisfied 2008-05-04
When I went searching for a wireless router I didn't know what to look for, but I assumed it would be something that looked alien like with antenae sticking out everywhere. I was so pleased to find this one that just looks like an alarm clock sitting on the table. Not only that, it works really great too. I encounted one little glitch while running the setup. Somewhere during the process I was told that my internet connection could not be detected, but I opted to proceed with the setup anyway, and when the setup was done, I could not access the internet. I contacted Live Help via chat (very cool) and was offered advice. It turned out that all I had to do was run the setup again to solve the problem, since then it's been working like a charm, no problem whatsoever.
