Fast and EasyAugust 26, 2008 Setup was quick, and the added encryption strength does not seem to slow down the connection speed.
Need a simple to set-up, nice looking router? this will do itAugust 25, 2008 Got my home network cranking, with 100% strength to my PS3, and laptops anywhere in the house. Took 5 mins to set up with password protection. Great buy for the average joe.
Easy, Easy, EasyAugust 24, 2008 This was my first wireless router and it works great. It was extremely easy to set up. All I did was pop the disk in and it took about 5 minutes to set-up. Which was a pleasant surprise because I run a Mac G5. Shortly after I got the G5 up and running my MacBook and Ipod Touch took even less time to set-up. The reason I am giving this a 4 out of 5 is because I have not gotten my Wii running on it yet. Note I have only spent about 5 minutes trying to get the Wii to work with it. I have read that this router can be finicky with the Wii. I would recomend this router to anyone who wants and easy WiFi solution.
Great router once you get it set upAugust 21, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this router to replace my WRT54G which died after 5 years of continuous use. Considering the performance of my previous Linksys, going w/ their product again was a simple decision. I stuck w/ wireless-G because there is little to no feedback suggesting wireless-n technology increases performance. Plus, I hoped I would have no trouble configuring my router sticking w/ a similar product.
I have AT&T's express DSL service w/ up to 1.5 Mbps downstream. I while my connection speed may not be blazing, I'm quite happy w/ the performance for my home use. I notice no drop in speed using my Linksys wireless vs. direct ethernet connection.
I was pleasantly surprised to find my signal range was slightly greater than my previous router. I only say this as I tend to get better signal quality at my laptop. I cannot offer any specs or "scientific proof," just my casual observation.
I notice a lot of people complain about setup. I spent around 2 1/2 hrs setting my network up, but it probably had more to do w/ my lack of computer savvy than the Linksys product. Initially, I followed along w/ the included CD setting up the router using my laptop (Windows based). My fatal error came when I decided to use WPA encryption - higher security, why not? Well, the CD warns that older computers (hence my laptop) may not be compatible w/ WPA. Had no problem connecting our iMac; the included instructions were easy to follow and worked beautifully. When I went to connect my laptop, trouble ensued and I really made a mess of things BFG'ing my way through fixing it. I finally configured for WEP encryption - the same I had w/ my previous router - and things are now copasetic.
Bottom line, I am very pleased w/ Linksys wireless-g routers. I probably would have had no setup problems if I had paid closer attention to the instructions. Either way, I highly recommend this product.
Perfect and compactAugust 15, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The router is incredibly easy to set up and does most of the configuring for you. It also has no antennas to determine its place in a room. I have it on a very small shelf on top of my DVD player and it works perfectly. Essentially, it take up no space and runs very nicely. The speed is fine and the signal I have is always very strong (then again, i'm never more than 10' from it).
