My 5 year old Linksys WRT54G started acting up (kept having to re-do settings) so I purchased the WRT54G2. First off, the software CD provided with the router kept getting an "internal error." After 2 tech support calls totalling about 5 hours we finally got it to work, albeit poorly. Extremely weak signal - wireless laptops must be within 6 feet of the router to get "good" signal. No signal at all beyond about 12 feet. Two more calls to tech support about this, and I finally agreed to pay Linksys an additional $10.00 to remotely fix my problem, but to no avail. This remote session lasted about 3 more hours, at the end of which they announced that they had "isolated the problem" - the walls of my house!!! My old router provided adequate signal throught my modest 1800 sq ft house. They ended up suggesting that I just return this new router to the store for a refund. Needless to say, I'm finished with Linksys. Get more detail about Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router.
