Advantages: Fast, easy to use and economical
Disadvantages: none found

The Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster is an upgrade of the WRT54G series, giving a 35% boost, and well worth the cost. If you use Comcast cable with speedboost as I do then why not use a speed boost router. Believe me it is faster and as all linksys routers it is great value for money. When I was shopping for a router I had a few things in mind; speed, security,ease of use and cost. the WRT54GS gave me all of this; it's ...

Advantages Very reliable and easy to setup
Disadvantages Sometimes dropps off with Macintosh

...Having two laptops and 1 pc the house, it is critical that a wireless system is reliable and easy to setup. We run PC and Macintosh laptops plus a deck based PC covering 4 floors in our home. I have run all mahines with a mixture of DHCP and static IP addresses and also have a wireless print server attached. Everything was dead easy to setup and the only slight problem is with Macintosh omputers loosing the signal periodically. I have yet to figure out if this is caused by the gateway or the wifi receiver on the laptop. Either way, re-booting the gateway does the trick everytime. The web user interface is simple to login to and easy to navigate and modify if neccessary. There is also a feature to back settings iincase of any tragedies and it is easy to respore previous settings. In all, this is a clever gadget that works... Read review

Advantages Linux Based Firmware: Easy for thirdparties to add new features
Disadvantages There are much better looking routers out there.

...The Linksys WRT54GS in my honourable opinion is a great piece of kit. First of all its a product of Cisco Systems, which to me instantly suggests "decent box" as Cisco is one of (if not THE) biggest names in networking. And second, after running this box as the core of my network for almost 12 months now, Ive found it to be a reliable and more secure than some of the previous routers I have owned. I must admit there are much better looking routers which much the same capabilites on the market but looks arent everything. I bought this so I could experiment with Wireless as I hadnt really experienced that type of networking before. A downfall of this product for me was the lack of guidance provided by Linksys in the way of instructions on how to securely setup your wireless connection. Although I found a plethora of information... Read review
