Product Description
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is three devices in one. The Wireless Access Point lets you connect both 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. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. Your computers can share all kinds of music, digital picture, and document files. The 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.

 Satisfied Customer November 17, 2008
Great product and easy to setup. This is my first wireless router and I found it simple and useful. I highly recommend this for a basic home wireless setup.
Love this router November 16, 2008
This is my first ever router. I know nothing about router as of 2 days ago. Got this one and was able to completely setup a secured wireless PC using a specific MAC address, upgrade its firmware to version 1.0.01 all within a 3 hours (including reading the user's guide).
Note, the CD and the setup wizard downloaded from the site is useless, for some reasons, the setup wizard gives an error 312 as reported by other users. Overall, very happy with the purchase.
Great Router, Easy and Reliable November 16, 2008
No issues whatsoever. Set-up was simple and I had it running in les than 10 minutes.
 New router, new problems November 14, 2008
After contacting LINKSYS for literally 10 hours on a Saturday and Sunday, along with other phone calls to supplement, they still cannot make it a secure network or explain why not. Every time something does not work, they blame the router. One tech support tried to convince me that BestBuy sold me a used LINKSYS router! The bottom line with LINKSYS equipment, it is a good value IF and IF it works. My problem is the new router is always resetting, not keeping a solid connection, etc. It is very frustrating. While I do not what router I am going to get to replace this one, I will not use LINKSYS is at all possible. UPDATE, while trying to load this review, the router blew off again. Nice!
once installed it works like a charm November 14, 2008
Ive been running this wireless for about a month now, It acts as a wireless source for my macbook and iphone and a router for my xbox 360 and pc laptop.
It took me about 3 hours to install this. after trying the instructions I had to call the support line after talking to 2 tech agents I was told it was my laptops fault, after then checking 3rd party support forums I got it working on my own. the problem was that even though the automated connection process was easy, when it fails the process gets much more complicated.
also, be aware that when you buy a used router the previous owner may have set up passwords that will complicate your installation.
now that its installed it functions perfectly and is one of the first routers Ive had that actually looks good on a desk. All in all This is a great router and I would purchase it again.
