I bought this Linksys router after I got Road Runner Turbo. I needed a router which could be mounted vertically in a structured wire cabinet in my basement. My original NETGEAR router had a WAN port which maxed out at 10Mb/s, so the new router had to have a 100Base-T WAN port. In summary, this router was easy to setup and I'm currently getting over 20 Mb/s wireless throughput on my internet connection.
I also have an Apple router which delivers a wireless throughput to the internet of just over 30 Mb/s. Unfortunately, it doesn't mount vertically (no screw holes), so I chose to use it as a WAP only, using the Linksys router as the gateway. Surprisingly, if I hook up to the Linksys router with a wired connection, I still only get about 20 Mb/s throughput. So the difference in performance between the Linksys and Apple routers seems to be related to how well they talk to my cable modem, not in how well my laptop communicates to the routers via my wireless connection.
This router is physically smaller and lighter than I expected. Again, setup was very simple. Both my Mac and Windows laptops seem happy with their wireless connections, and the router has been stable since it was setup last week. Considering the price paid, I currently regard this router as a good value, and would buy it again.Get more detail about Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router.
