Good product [Posted on 2007-04-07]
This is a good product was a great deal and I am glad I bought it. The kit was half the price I saw it for in other stores and shipping was free. It was easy to install (I had to call my ISP for help with settings to make it compatible with my modem but it was not an issue with the router), though I have found that sometimes the card does not automatically link up with an available network. This is usually solved if I restart the computer or discharge the card and re-insert. It is easy to use and does not require a high level of technical knowledge to install, use or troubleshoot. I rated a 4 but have nothing to compare it to. I am happy with the card and router.

go against what it says. do NOT run any CD, etc. simply plug in the internet wire into the butt hole of this router. and u're online in 5 seconds.
then later on u can try goin thru the manual. amazing speed, very simple, quick n efficient. i approve.

Excellent product, installed without problems, operates as expected. Product was delivered as expected in excellent condition.
having kids suits me just fine... [Posted on 2007-11-07]
Got them off my computer and didn't have to run wires all around the house. Cheep fits my budget. Behind the curve but didn't have to finance it. Good enough to download and can use it at opposite side of the house at 45% conectivity at fifty feet away.
Works Great, so far [Posted on 2008-03-31]
I bought the Linksys WKPC54G Wireless-G Network Kit for Notebooks on Amazon for a great price ($36.25). I must say I was very apprehensive because of all the negative reviews. I've had a Linksys BEFSR41 4 port wired router for the last 7 years and it has been as solid as a rock. Anyway, I replaced the BEFSR41 with the WRK54G, hooked up all the wired connections (3 total, including a print server) and everything worked. Internet and local network worked fine. Turnkey installation. Next, I installed the CD software for the wireless card on a 4 year old DELL laptop (Windows XP) and everything went okay. The software indicated that it was connected to the router but it said I had no Internet connection. To make a long story short, I powered the router off/on and everything (including my Internet connection) worked fine. One thing I did notice was that anytime I made a change to my wireless settings on the router or laptop (especially wireless security), I had to cycle power on the router. Hardwire connections never had a problem. All in all, this combo works great. Range is pretty good and all my kids wireless game devices have no problem connecting. Buy it if the price is right. I've used it 3 days, only time will tell...
