Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router
Digital camera Review: 2 years, still works great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this router two years ago to go with a motorollo surfboard modem and Comcast Blast speed connection. I keep it hooked up by direct ethernet to my Xbox360 to make sure I always get the best connection to the Xbox and then I have a wireless printer, a macbook, and a sony labtop all sharing the internet connection. The connection is strong enough to give me full signal strength throughout my house (single story 3bd home) and about half signal strength in the backyard. The setup is very simple, I lost my setup cd at some point and had to reset my connection and found by googling the model I was able to get directions without the installation cd that were also pretty simple. It's hard to gauge how much internet content it can handle since my broadband internet is likely the most limiting part of my setup but to give an idea, I have no problem running internet radio, streaming music, and playing xboxlive games all at the same time. It looks nice in the tv stand next to my flat screen, doesn't make any noise or have any other issues. If it gets unplugged, it still keeps your saved network settings when plugged back in.Digital camera Review: A Few Problems, But It Works
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to replace an older router that had finally died after years of use. I seriously recommend buying it used, however, because it's not worth the new price.
It worked great right away when connected to a PC through an Ethernet cable, but it was difficult to setup for wireless connectivity. After calling Linksys and going through a lengthy setup I finally got it to work.
The router has been working fine for the most part. It connects to all of my PCs, my Xbox 360, and my Wii without any problems. The range is fine and I haven't had any issues with devices not connecting in different parts of my house. It occasionally needs to be restarted when connecting to my Xbox 360 (maybe every three months), but I've never had any problem connecting to my PCs.
I'd recommend it if you're looking for a cheap replacement router. Be wary, though, as Linksys customer support is not that awesome.
Digital camera Review: A Great Product.
Summary: 5 Stars
This router installed in minuets. I have used it for almost a month now with no problems of ANY kind. The on-line interface is also easy to use. All in all, I have had no problems at all. The price was also very good. A GREAT all around router.Digital camera Review: A Truly Excellent Router
Summary: 5 Stars
This Linskys router was extremely easy to set up using the set up wizard which gave very clear instructions to follow. It took me only about 15 minutes to set up. The router has been working great for over one month now. I've had no worries with it so far. It also has a very attractive and sleek look and it's small so it doesn't provide an ugly distraction. I have no complaints with this purchase at all so far. The no-hassle installation, attractive appearance, and efficient performance makes this router a great choice for those who are either beginners or experienced users of this kind of technology. Hopefully others who buy this router also have such a good experience.Digital camera Review: A Very Easy Setup
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say I am extremely pleased with the setup of this router. I have it connected at my daughter's house upstairs to a MAC. You just pop in the CD and follow the easy instructions. You can either use a generated key or make one up yourself. I think it took me about 5 minutes to do it all. I have an older one at my house that took 30 mins or more to figure out. That was a few years ago. Cisco has really done an excellent job in automating all those manual steps that were needed in the past. This is the way a router setup should be. I have read some reviews on the reliability of the hardware itself (that is is not good). That remains to be seen. However, right now, I couldn't be more pleased with the fact that I have wireless connection in about 5 minutes.
