Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router
Digital camera Review: 5 stars no less unless you dont know about how wifi works
Summary: 5 Stars
This router is my 3rd router in various places. The one key component for Linksys G/Super G routers is the QoS feature. QoS allows priority of internet packets. This feature is a MUST for VoiP services. I have never had any issues setting up ANY router, crappy or not. The low stars are due to people not understanding the basics to router setup period. This router is FLAWLESS.
Things to do once you get the router to ensure it works perfectly:
1) Upgrade the firmware right away if it's not the newest version. One key for upgrading: Newest factory firmware upgrade gives you QoS support!!
2) Disconnect your 2.4Ghz cordless phone. You will always have issues with it, so eliminate it right away to make sure your wifi setup is up and running first. You might live in proximity to neighbors with 2.4ghz phones, so be wary of that interference. Dont blame the router right away.
3) Ditch your 2.4ghz phone if possible for 5.8ghz cordless phones, i did this knowing the technicalities of the interference which i experienced.
4) Enable QoS for VoIP users, this is the ONLY reason i purchased this router. VoIP (vonage) is working flawlessly in any situation where I am downloading heavily, the VoIP packets get priority.
5) Read the dam instructions before posting negative reviews on the product.
6) Do not setup encryption on intial setup to test that it's up and running first, then move onto more complex setup with encryption. Read the instructions !!! And you SHOULD enable encryption for godsake.
Those 6 steps should allow any non-technical person to get this, or ANY 802.11b/g router up and running. Remember, 2.4Ghz phone usage will kill your wifi connection regularly, especially in big buildings with many tenants!!!
Digital camera Review: 54G is the way to go
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a tremendous product. Why go the 802.11b when you can go G? This router was extremely easy to install. I hooked it up to a Windows XP machine which houses the cable internet connection in about 15 minutes. I now have a wireless internet connection on my Windows 2000 machine upstairs at a blazing 54Mbps, very cool.Digital camera Review: 54G only second to 54GS
Summary: 5 Stars
Best G router for the money. It has never failed and it has always performed well. I would whole heartedly recommend it to everyone. However, I would get the WRT54GS for the speed booster which really works. I just upgraded to the WRT610N after having used this router for several years. If you are having trouble setting it up just go to the linksys website and they will work out all the "kinks" for you. I will never buy anything but linksys.Digital camera Review: 802.11b products do not work
Summary: 4 Stars
Out of the box my 802.11b network cards would not connect until I upgraded the firmware in the router. The Linksys web site does not address this problem. This is a good product that I could recommend to anyone once the firmware is upgraded.Digital camera Review: A Great Product!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This router is one of the best on the market today, i have done some research on the net and found that this is one of the more cheaper wireless routers! It is only a good $$$ but it has great speed! When i first opened the box i was so excited to put it together to see how it would work. Well to make the long story short I did what the instructions told me to do and it was very easy to do! Then after all that (took maybe 10 min.) it worked! I hope you take some time to look at this new linksys wireless G router, i think after you use it you will love it! Good luck to all who want a good deal and a great product, buy it!
