Linksys WRT54GS Wireless G Router Technical Details

Linksys WRT54GS Wireless G Router Description

Linksys WRT54GS Wireless G Router
The Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G, Wireless-B, and other performance-enhanced SpeedBooster devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

The Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster incorporates the next generation of Wireless-G (802.11g) networking. SpeedBooster technology is a compatible add-on to standard Wireless-G, which increases "real-world" wireless network performance by up to 35%. Unlike other speed-enhancing technologies, SpeedBooster is fully 802.11 compliant, and a "good neighbor" to other wireless devices and technologies, using a single 2.4GHz channel as specified by the official wireless standard. And, unlike other technologies, with SpeedBooster you'll see an overall speed improvement even when running a mixed network of SpeedBooster and regular Wireless-G devices.

To protect your data and privacy, the Router can protect all wireless transmissions with 128-bit 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, and supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.

Linksys WRT54GS Wireless G Router Reviews

REVIEW BY: Enterprise Reviewed Nov 01, 2008

I purchased one of these after my USR wireless router died. PROS: The signal strength is great, Features are very nice (I like making sure the kids are off the computer by having the network shutdown at a specific time), the feature for allocating speed to the machine that needs it the most is very nice, & lots of security options. CONS: I could not get the software setup to work and ended up having to go directly into the router to conduct the setup manually. All the computers could hook up to it, but the Xbox360 would continually disconnect, even though it is Xbox Certified, I couldnt get a reliable connection established. I went to Linksys website and they have no real answers and the boards are littered with Linksys WRT54GS Wireless G Router same problem with no clear fix. I'm sure there is a simple fix out there, but I really don't have any more time to play with it and Linksys WRT54GS Wireless G Router will go back. Over all I was impresses with it, I had my USR for 6 years, and these new routers have stepped up a lot.

I was using a very very Old Linksys Wireless-B which was constantly disconnecting me from the internet so I picked Linksys WRT54GS Wireless G Router router up today at the Miami (Flagler Store) for $55 + tax .. installed in less then 10 minutes.. works good so far .. no problems encountered. Good price as well. Im using it with Bellsouth DSL (Extreme) and 3 computers wired in and the 4th port for my security cameras around my house so I can view my house from the internet when im not at home.

ff good wireless signal. Both the wired and wireless setups failed on multiple pc's. Setup and installation are done terribly with included materials and software. Wireless connection cannot be maintained in Windows setup tools, and to setup wireless on your computers, you have to wire the pc to the router so it can ''retrieve the router info''. It won't let you input anything manually. Stay away, get D-Link or USRobotics.

The best router I have ever owned. I had a Netgear super g router then i got this one. Way faster. Even with Ethernet connection Linksys WRT54GS Wireless G Router was faster. Easy to setup and install.

Am very pleased with this unit purchased Oct '08. Currently using it with Optimum Online Boost & two Linksys satellite switches to push a home network over three floor levels powering both wired and wireless PC's, Tivos, Nintendo Wii, and parallel & usb print servers. Absolutely no problems with setup or performance! Internet speed on average is coming in at 15,000 bps download and 4,500 bps upload. Flawless download of video from internet to Tivos. No problems with gaming over internet on the Ninentdo Wii.Reliable signal strength over all three floors of home. Files move betweeen PC's quickly enough. Originally thought that unit might be old technology cause its been around awhile. Maybe so, but I think Linksys WRT54GS Wireless G Router will be plenty good enough for me for quite some time to come.
