Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router
Digital camera Review: Another breakdown after 1 year
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the 5th wireless router i have had to buy in 4 years. Every time i get one it breaks down within 9months to a year. I called the customer support and because i was out of warranty they wanted me to pay $40 for their customer support. Worst customer support i have ever delt with and i will never buy a Linksys ever again.Digital camera Review: As advertised

Summary: 5 Stars
Hi.
I just want to tell you, a week ago, I was a man without hope in technology. I was lost in a world of terrible network connection, frequent error messages on my PS3 ( 8002AD36 and 8002AD52 )... believe me when I tell you I did EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to try to fix my problem. I change my PS3 system config several times, forwarded ports without sucess, contact PSN costumer service... I even ruined and then fixed (luckily) my PC system config and router config TWICE.
Nightmare was the perfect word to understand my situation. Then a light at the end of the tunnel... the Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router change my sad video game experience in 10 min. Exellent signal, super easy to install and finally.. NO MORE PROBLEMS. So there you go... if you are in PAIN due to the lame PS3 network experience, this router will help you out. NO DOUBT.
Digital camera Review: Avoidable
Summary: 1 Stars
Setup didn't work with Vista. After 3+ hours on call with tech support from India, they told me the router was faulty. I had to call Amazon.com: share my story to request a replacement. Received the replacement within 3 days & the second one didn't work either.
I had to cancel the entire order. I recommend this product as Avoidable.
Digital camera Review: Award Winning tech support tried to rip me off
Summary: 2 Stars
The router is basically working fine with my Thinkpad X60 (running XP) and fit PC2 (running Ubuntu).
The reason that I am going to give this product an 2 star review is that the tech support wasn't able to help me install the router and tried their best to take over my computer and charge me additional fee (I refused).
I tried to followed the instruction to install the router. Since there is a sticker on the ports of the router saying that you have to install the software first, I installed the software without connecting the router. It stuck at checking connection page and saying there's some problem with wireless adapter. After tried several things out and not able to get it working, I decided to call Sisco's "Award Winning Tech Support".
The first thing made me uncomfortable is they ask your name(full name), phone number and e-mail. I was not cautious enough so I give out my phone number but not e-mail address. They won't inform you providing those information are optional until you decide not to tell. I wonder those personal information has anything to do with installing the router.
Than the tech support kept asking me to spend around 9 dollar to have someone take over my computer and take a look at it. She kept saying that is the best way to resolve my problem.
I have been using "Log me in" to access my office computer at home and I know what it's like to have some one remote access your computer. They can do whatever they want, including lock up your screen, keyboard and mouse. Therefore I turned down her offer and ask if she able to advice via phone. She still insist on the "remote plan". I told her I rather try to install again by myself and end up the conversation.
After I tried to connect the router to the network while installing the software, everything works out fine. I am glad I didn't pay 9 dollar for doing this.
Thank you award winning tech support for wasting me 20 minutes!
(I am not complaining about individual tech support but whoever wrote their SOP)
