Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WET54G Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge

Digital camera Review: (Setup zero stars)
Summary: 5 Stars

Works great once setup. Setup is a nightmare. Shipped model in April 2008 had 2005 firmware that did NOT support WPA2 (support never figured this out). Setup disk failed instantly on my Vista laptop with an obcure 2 word error message. Tried running setup on my XP Desktop, didn't immediately fail but could not find router even when plugged into the router and firewalls turned off (2wire 2701).

Solution after six hours of work.... Move WET54G to laptop for configuration. Reset WET54G by pushing reset button for 30 seconds. Setup static IP on laptop within default WET54G range of 192.168... so that laptop can find see WET54G. Bring up manual config web page by entering default IP of WET54G. Update firmware. Setup WET54G SSID, WPA2 security manually using web interface. Change my entire home network back to 192.168, since it was easier to do this, then try to get the WET54 to actually run on my 172.16 range I was using. Only after the above, could I move to my Slingbox setup which requires punching a whole in my firewall for port 5001. WOW, can "normal" people really do this stuff????

MAYBE, if you are lucky the setup disk works, but if not, and the above scares you, just return the unit. Support knows just enough to get you into real serious trouble.

But heh, if you can do this, the device works great, streaming all the Slingbox video I want seamlessly.

Update 03/07/2009: Had a Linksys 4-port hub downstream, between bridge and Slingbox, that was causing communication problems between the bridge and Slingbox. Pulled hub, which I can live without and ran ethernet cable directly from bridge to Slingbox, and Slingbox never lost settings again. Not sure if this was bridge issue, but thought I would mention it.
