As you are making a purchase decision, we suggest that you take the time to read some WRT54G2 Linksys Router reviews in order to see what other consumers have to say about the product. Here are some user reviews to help you make your shopping decision:

The Linksys WRT54G2 is a realiable, robust, easy to use and configure wireless router.

I just ran the configuration CD on the main PC (desktop) followed the on-screen instructions, and 15 minutes later my wireless network was up and running!

For those who have deeper knowledge on PCs and security, it comes with many different security levels and characteristics (Wi-Fi Protected Access WPA, AES and TKIP Algorithms, MAC Address filter and much more) that can be combined according to your equipment's configuration and personal needs, so your wirelees network will be virtually impossible to hack.

Although I was concerned about the internal antennas, the reception is excellent on every corner of the house. It's very small and thin, giving you more flexibility of where the router can be placed.

Summary: it's an excellent product for a fair price!

I had an original WRT54G that I bricked screwing around with the firmware. I needed another router right away, so I picked the WRT54G2 up at my local BB for $50. I was going to spend a lot more for an "N" router, but figured it wasn't worth it for my modest DSL/home network. I had the WRT54G2 up and running within 10 minutes. No problems. No drama. I was concerned about the internal antenna, but I still get a full signal even in my basement. It seems to work very well, and looks much better in my office than the original WRT54G.

My previous router was a Netgear. Expensive, issues hooking it up, constant lost connections, less than understandable customer service people...not a great experience all together.

So when it appeared to have died, I admit I did not try too hard to revive it. A swift funeral will be in order.

This time, after giving up on reviews on all routers, that claim each is the best in the world or a piece of trash, I just decided to buy a cheaper one from a popular brand, the Linksys WRTG2.

And so far, I have nothing but great things to say. Installation was simple and problem free. Popped in the CD, followed a few simple steps on connections, create a name here, a password there and the wired connection to my desktop and the wireless connection to my laptop were all set in 5 minutes.

Literally 5 minutes.

And so far, the signal is very strong and problem free.
It may not be the fanciest router out there, but for me, and I suspect many people, this seems a fine router.

Had this router set up and working in less than 10 minutes. Very clear, easy-to-follow instructions. I'm a 73-year-old woman, non-techie -- really appreciate the ease of operation. It looks great, too.

A good friend of my just set up his pc in a new apartment. He wanted to wirelessly network his pc with that of his roomate and an Xbox 360. As a long time owner of a Linksys WRT54g router that I've never had a problem with, I reccommended this one to him. Since I was doing the setup, I wanted to work with something I was familiar with. We were not dissappointed. To setup the router to his roomates pc in the living and to configure a Linksys WUSB54GC Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter to his pc and setup the 128 bit WEP encryption took all of 30 mins. Everything connected on the 1st attempt. Connection range to router about 80 ft away, thru 2 walls was at max strength at a constant 54Mbs . If I ever need to get another router, this is the one that it will be. Linksys makes a great product.

I think this is a great device. I will agree with all the positive comments from previous reviewers (which helped me decide to purchase this product), but I wanted to make a specific note to let Mac users know this router will work with your computers. It is not specifically shown on the outside of the package, nor in the instructions, but it does work with a little help from the company. I have a Powerbook and you have to search for the specific instructions and walkthroughs on the company's website. It's a breeze to install once you download these instructions.
