Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
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 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.
With the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router 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, security and simplicity.

Out of the box, set up in 2 minutes, completely straight forward and it did a lot of it itself simply asking me to set passwords and network names. 10 minutes later, 2 PC's, a Wii and an XBox 360 were all connected wirelessly. The signal range covers a semi-detatched more than adequately.

Outstanding router, but problematic software.,

This review is from: Linksys by Cisco WRT54G2 Wireless-G Router (Electronics)
A week later after the initial installation I must say that I am pretty happy with the router performance and style, but the first two days were a complete nightmare with the support/setup software. My advice is to AVOID THE LINKSYS SOFTWARE and use regular Windows application to connect/setup. This is my experience: I followed the indications to install the software first, but this resulted several minutes and then hours of waiting the software to setup and install, at the end the Linksys software hitted very hard on my PC resoucers and performance and I found that I have to connect to the router MANUALLY EVERYTIME, even after hibernation or stand-by. Tired of trying to find a fix or workaround I uninstalled the linksys software and decided to used the well known Windows wireless services to manage the connection but I found that the "Windows Zero Connect" service was not available, will not start automatically and have to start it manually EVERYTIME, then go the wireless advanced setup to allow Windows to manage the wireless services... a complete nightmare because I did not find a way fix this, in some forums people told my to reinstall Windows from scratch!. Thankfully I MADE A RESTORE POINT before the installation and when I finally realized that I was on a dead end I used this lifesaver. Luckly the restore point fixed the issue and the Windows wireless services worked as silk as before, connected to the router using the regular Windows application and setup the router with IExplorer using the fixed address. I am very happy with the router performance, amazing kit, but the software gave me a really bad time. NEVER FORGET TO MAKE A RESTORE POINT BEFORE INSTALLING ANY SOFTWARE to your PC.
