I have to start out saying, "I LOVE THIS ROUTER".
I have never set up a network in my life, and was scared to death. Eyes facing heavenward, I say a short prayer and open the box. The first thing I see is a black CD Sleeve, "Insert before connecting cables". Against several reviewer recommendations, I don't upgrade the firmware, nor do I use the DD-WRT that everyone is screaming about, and I use the CD. (Oh my gosh!!! I broke the 3 Techie Rules!!! I'm a newb, what can I say?)
!BAMM! 5 minutes my network is up and running strong. No glitches, no dropped connections. My niece picked up a signal on her IPOD 100+' away from my Router. My daughter and I are surfing the internet from two different rooms 40' apart and 5 walls in between. No problems with our 3Mbps DSL and Speedstream 4200 Modem from Windstream.
(I will admit, however, that I do live in a Rural Area with no outside interference. I'm the only wireless around on 6 Acres, and that's got to be a benefit.)
Pros: Easy set up, sleek box, great signal throughout the house and beyond; not to mention, "The Price Is Right". A must have for those new to wireless.
Cons: No Power Switch. I like to turn my equipment off at night when I go to bed.
Further: If I have any issues in the future, I will update this review, but for now, "I LOVE THIS ROUTER".Get more detail about Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router.
