power to week [Posted on 2007-11-24] This is a great unit with some extra money spent to upgrade it. This unit needs better range it has rptnc connectors and 1 to 2 dbi power and rang killers on it. Try to order 2 5 dbi or 8 dbi anntena to get a all around better unit. great value for 25.00 to 30 .00 then add the 30.00 to fix it out preformes the 54g as far as range and lets get honest in a office yor still cang get more than 5 meg downloads spread that out over 5 comps and theirs no gain with a 54g system the modem limits you to what ever speed you pay for at he line. Enjoy
Served Me Well for More Than 5 Years [Posted on 2008-01-03] I bought this router over 5 years ago when it first came out, and it served my needs just fine the whole time. I live in a 3000 square foot single story L-shaped home. The router was positioned at the vertex of the L and was barely able to cover the furthest rooms in the house. I finally decided to replace it this year with a higher performance model (D-Link DIR-655) supporting the new wireless standards (802.11g and 802.11n). The Linksys router worked fine for supporting my wireless needs for web browsing and it even did a pretty good job wirelessly streaming music around the house. It was a little slow with streaming photos though and definitely wasn't fast enough to stream DVD quality video reliably. When we needed to perform large (hundreds of megabytes) file transfers between computers, we usually ended up plugging in an ethernet cable, because the wireless file transfers were too slow. In general, for an 80211b router, this router did a fine job, lasted a long time, and was easy to setup. I can't comment about the Linksys support, because I never needed any support. I'm deducting 1 star however, simply because in this day and age, nobody should be buying a Wireless-B router anymore. I suggest that you invest a few more bucks (if that much) to get at least a Wireless-G router with the same features. If you have devices that support Wireless-N and you can afford a hundred bucks for a router, then I suggest the D-Link DIR-655.
Ideal for home! [Posted on 2008-02-29] In the last three years i bought three units and until today are working properly in my house and the house of two friends. Easy installation and configuration. After three years i dont have problems with this router.
Only one recommendation: try always that your router works with the newest version. You can download free at Linksys web site.
Linksys [Posted on 2008-05-14] The linksys in excellent shape and came very quickly in the mail! Its still working beautifully and we've had it for almost 2 years now! Thanks.
Excellent Product [Posted on 2008-05-19] I don't consider myself a techie in the least bit but this router was a snap to set up and use. I have had it for over a year. I had to replace the power adapter but that is probably because of a surge I replaced it and the router is still going. I would recommend this to anyone great value great price.
